I have contacted Obama, who is my Senator, on several issues in the past four years regarding holding the Bush Administration accountable for their crimes. In every response he said they he was not sent to Washington to do this. He said that the American people want him to solve other problems which he then listed and that soon Bush would be out of office and the problems he created would leave with him. I doubt that he will do anything differently if he is elected. I was most upset that as a Constitutional lawyer, he didn't seem very concerned about questions on violations of that document. This was in direct opposition to what Obama said when he was running for the Senate. At a campaign event he had expressed great outrage at the things going on in Washington and the need for accountability.
