    KIND OF GETTING AHEAD OF YOURSELVES, AREN'T YOU?

    "...any decision on prosecutions probably would not come until a second Obama presidential term, should there be one."

    The guy hasn't even been sworn in yet, done a damn thing about the sorry economy of the U.S., hasn't fixed nothng before he got there, and you're talking about prosecuting Bushies in "his second term?" What rubbish.

    Do you reallly think that the majority of voters will accept Obama and Congress squandering precious time on Bush's ass for the next 4 years and not getting this country straightend out?

    If Mr. "I'm the Uniter Not The Divider" President-Elect (sound familiar) thinks that this is what the voters voted for he will be a one-term wonder.

    Why not investigate these crooks in corporations destroying our economy, way of life, and robbing us all of opportunities?
