    Obama's administration should proceed with these investigations

    Obama needs to get elected. That's the first priority. But when in office the new White House needs to follow up on ALL the Bush/Cheney abuses of power and violations of the US Constitution. These are much more serious offenses than dallying around with a White House intern!

    These abuses must be turned around, rescinded, eliminated.....and all those who are quietly complicit need to be punished, fired, eliminated from public office.

    But, sadly, I expect that out of 'expediency' and 'practical politics', they'll go on....just as the low-level Nazis were quickly restored to office in post-war Germany.
