No balls, huh? More like 'good sense'.

As much as I LIKE the idea of calling Bush & his cronies to answer for their crimes.... and the various contractors and banks and oil companies and investment firms, etc. to answer for THEIR stupid, greedy practices for theirs...
Can you imagine what the news would have been like the last year? Can you imagine trying to juggle the recovery, the war(s), the environment, immigration,the Health Care process, Wall Street reform...etc...etc..ETC!!! while running 4-5 simultaneous special prosecutors and trying to pry enough evidence that would stand up in court out of 10,000 hidey-holes?
It would be unlikely that enough votes could be found for conviction, and would have totally distracted from 'getting something done'.

Better, as frustrating as it is, to let The Huffington Post, PolitFact.com, Rachel Maddow, Mother Jones...etc., lay out all the evidence of Republican crimes and/or scandals in ways that are not boring hearings and don't tie up Congress with tedious routines that would be continuously stonewalled by procedures and votes.

Obama is not stupid.... he reads the papers. He knows what people are saying, but he knows that he had 2 years to get stuff passed before mid-terms, and who knows.... maybe there IS still time after Nov. to have a few investigations.

(oh...one of the major targets, Cheney, would have gotten so many reprieves due to his health [and so much sympathy] that they'd bever have completed an investigation and prosecution of him.)
