| Democrats seek criminal probe of Bush 'abuses' By LARRY MARGASAK, Associated Press Writer Larry Margasak, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - The incoming Obama administration should launch a criminal investigation of Bush administration officials to see whether they broke the law in the name of national security, a House Democratic report said Tuesday. President-elect Barack Obama has been more cautious on the issue and has not endorsed such a recommendation. Along with the criminal probe, the report called for a Sept. 11-style commission with subpoena power, to gather facts and make recommendations on preventing misuse of power, according to the report by the Democratic staff of the House Judiciary Committee. The report covers Bush administration policies that Democrats have protested for some time. Among them: interrogation of foreign detainees, warrantless wiretaps, retribution against critics, manipulation of intelligence and political dismissals of U.S. Attorneys. The White House was asked for comment on the report Tuesday, but did not immediately respond. |

Something else for the government to do, since they don't have anything else on the agenda. More tax dollars going towards investigations that may never lead anywhere. Yep, that's how I want my money spent.

"Reclaiming the Democratic Majority"-Progressive Activists Organize to Change Democrats in Congress

But with the Democrats in power, the feeling now among many grassroots activists is that most Democratic lawmakers have not acted on behalf of their progressive constituencies. We speak with two progressive activists: Ilyse Hogue of MoveOn.Org, and Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. Ref. Source 4

Democrats having trouble 'explaining' accomplishments
Democrats are blaming their impending massive defeat on the fact that it's just 'too hard to explain' all of the wonderful accomplishments they've made since grabbing power years ago. It was Joe Biden who made this claim, which is partially true because it is very difficult to explain the positives in completely destroying the country. Ref. Source 8
