		<description>Oops, forgot to add, and even if they *did* break a law, it&#039;s not like as a former President and Vice President they&#039;d ever see inside a jail cell.  

In the entire history of the US that has NEVER happened, and I seriously doubt it ever will.  Whatever President is in office at the time will most likely end up pardoning them - which like I said, just means the whole thing would be a waste of money to begin with.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d rather the US Government use my tax money to create jobs and stabilize the economy right now, rather than waste it by throwing it into the money pit of doing an &quot;investigation&quot; we all know will never lead to anything anyways, because Cheney and Bush - while bending the laws so far over they almost touch the ground - they never really broke them, certainly not enough to land them in jail.</description>

		<description>I was watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and I researched if Hunter S. Thompson ever said anything about Bush/Cheney. Thompson hated Nixon who he described as corrupt, evil, and a few other choice words. Interestingly enough, Thompson said that if he had to choose between voting for Bush/Cheney or Nixon, he chose Nixon.</description>

		<description>Hey, I have an idea.  Why don&#039;t we have Obama investigated for illegally firing Inspector General Walprin?  Shouldn&#039;t his past activities be investigated?  Hey, by the way, does he have a birth certificate?  Is he a natural born citizen?  Shouldn&#039;t these be investigated since it has to do with the here and now; not the past? 

I only hope that there is enough prison space for Obama and his cronies!!!!!

Will you be looking forward as zealously to his investigation into war crimes after 2012?  That is if he is not impeached before that or imprisoned for fraud and treason.

Only asking?

I want you to know that I am rooting for you progressives!!  There is no such thing as a top heavy company or government.  I am sure there will be enough spoils to go around the hundreds of thousands progressive elitists.  Obama keeps his promises.  You will get your share.</description>

		<description>Midland Says: 
We&#039;ve become so used to thinking of the Republicans and Dem conservatives as grumpy old jokes, people don&#039;t realize that they are dead serious about protecting the Bushies and the Beltway establishment from what they sincerely consider to be political persecution. Obama has been ducking this issue for six months while he tries to get his administration in place and in control, while he gets his most basic, highest priority legislation passed to avoid turning this economic crash into a depression. He needs to avoid open revolt in the senate and the bureaucracy long enough to get government and the markets functioning properly.

Midland, do you really believe that?  Do you think Obama would be in office if he had any plans of prosecuting the Bush crime family?  If the Bushies control the oil cartel and the oil cartel control the gov&#039;t then what does that tell you?As hard a pill it is to swallow, we have to face that the crimes of the previous administration will never be prosecuted.</description>

		<description>KayInMaine,
It doesn&#039;t matter if more dems are appointed to the senate b/c there&#039;s not much difference b/w them and republics-they both take bribes so how can we trust any of them?  And if the dems are refusing to take advantage of being the majority party well then I&#039;m afraid there&#039;s no hope for them.</description>

		<description>Mr. Holder should do this. He should VIGOROUSLY investigate. The President as far as the Constitution goes, really has no say about what the DOJ can and cannot investigate. He is not allowed to give advice to the Attorney General. This is how the DOJ got politicized to begin with. Bush and Cheney used it for political reasons and screwed it up royally.

The President picks the Attorney General. But after that, he has no legal input as to what they DOJ does. And he should remember that. He has gone back on so much, that he should at the very least, let someone else do the job, he is unwilling to support. Obama is a politician. I hate to say it, but this is now what he has become. Too bad.</description>

		<description>AG Holder please press on with the investigation. O&#039;s approval ratings probably would sore through the roof. 

It&#039;s just &quot;baffling&quot; to me how Congress can be divided on an issue where former leaders actually broke the laws to a point that put the whole country in peril.  They should just put aside ideology for a minute and really think about what Cheney and Bush did.

This is very very &quot;disturbing&quot; and &quot;vile.&quot;  I can&#039;t wait to see how all this is going to be played out it will be interesting.</description>

My dear TIM Vaculik,
      You have demonstrated the point I was trying to make. You want a silver bullet to make things work. Guess what, it doesn’t exist. I have no illusions concerning the direction Obama is steering the country. Some things will work and some things won’t. Are you surprised? Come on, if things work, you proceed, if they don’t you rethink and try again. You need to look a little harder and find both sides of the policy equation.
You keep taking only side and I assume you are not interested in the positive aspects, and you are missing some fundamental points. 


Tim,
      Jimmy Carter had the middle class at the center of his policies. Considering what he inherited, he did his best to protect the middle class. I also lived through the times and remember Reagan selling the middle class out. And that sell out continues to this day. So you can say I am little found of the President who took the middle class interests to heart. As far as Reagan is concerned, look around you, and enjoy, it’s the end play of Reaganomics, and good riddance!!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>Tim Vaculik, you clearly demonstrate the kind of hideous intelligence that those who remain loyal to today&#039;s GOP have become.  Bereft of a understanding of history and steeped in party-above-all mentality your hideous logic twists and turns like a worm leaving behind its own waste in its tracks for its effort.

Gone are the moderates from within your party.  Gone is your parties grip on power. The voters said no to you and your agenda in Nov at record levels. And judging by the painfully distorted and anguished posts you defecate here, gone is your parties civility and humility at 8 years of abject failure to govern in the countries best interest.  It would seem that remains for you is to bite the ankles of those here without offering up anything other than that which was rejected overwhelmingly by the American people.

I have little doubt that you will not understand a word of this post. There are several smart folks here who would be happy to explain it to you.  

I just have one question for you Tim, what do you want to be when you grow up?</description>

<p>Gone are the moderates from within your party.  Gone is your parties grip on power. The voters said no to you and your agenda in Nov at record levels. And judging by the painfully distorted and anguished posts you defecate here, gone is your parties civility and humility at 8 years of abject failure to govern in the countries best interest.  It would seem that remains for you is to bite the ankles of those here without offering up anything other than that which was rejected overwhelmingly by the American people.</p>
<p>I have little doubt that you will not understand a word of this post. There are several smart folks here who would be happy to explain it to you.  </p>
<p>I just have one question for you Tim, what do you want to be when you grow up?<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=5721778', 400, 400)"></a></p>

flight,

It&#039;s simply not possible to credit Jimmy Carter with doing the things his successor did to get the economy going in the right direction.

I lived through the Carter years and still vividly remember how clueless he was when it came to the economy.

July 12th, 2009 at 5:33 pm   &lt;/i&gt;

The unemployment rate was 10.8% by late 1982 , Einstein .......The highest it was under Carter was 7 and 1/2 % .......

Yeah , your &lt;i&gt;demi-god&lt;/i&gt; Ronnie Retard sure was some type of &lt;i&gt;&quot;economic genius&quot;&lt;/i&gt; , you moronic GOP backing suckhole.......</description>

Actually, as I&#039;ve said on many occaisions I don&#039;t even consider myself a Republican, although I tend to vote that way. I am a conservative.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I can&#039;t see a difference between the two. In fact, maybe you would like to &lt;b&gt;name just one really, true conservative in this country that you truly respect&lt;/b&gt;. I can&#039;t see a real conservative anywhere. They are all dead or &lt;strong&gt;born-again, Christianista, corporate sucking, facists, neo-cons.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>dbadass,

Take a deep breath.  I didn&#039;t SAY I was Libertarian, only that in the test my views tended toward the Libertarian as opposed to the authoritarian.

I had been accused (wrongly) of being a person of extreme right-wing views.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

Actually, as I&#039;ve said on many occaisions I don&#039;t even consider myself a Republican, although I tend to vote that way.  I am a conservative.</description>
