Interviewing President-elect Barack Obama for Sunday’s This Week, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos zeroed in on criticism of including tax cuts in the “stimulus bill” and repeatedly pressed Obama about naming a special prosecutor, a 9/11-like commission or at least getting “your Justice Department to investigate” what an e-mail Stephanopoulos showcased on screen described as “the gravest crimes of the Bush administration, including torture and warrantless wiretapping.” On taxes, Stephanopoulos demanded: “Do you really believe those business tax cuts are going to work to create jobs?” He soon yearned: “But you might give up on some of the business tax cuts?”
Stephanopoulos put this e-mailed question up on the screen from “Bob Fertik of New York City,” failing to note he’s a left-wing activist with “Prosecute Bush & Cheney!” at the top of his Web site: “Will you appoint a special prosecutor (ideally Patrick Fitzgerald) to independently investigate the gravest crimes of the Bush administration, including torture and warrantless wiretapping.?” As Obama expressed reticence, Stephanopoulos pushed for alternatives to drag national security officials into the legal process: “So, no 9/11 commission with independent subpoena power?” Not giving up, he offered another way to go: “So, let me just press that one more time. You’re not ruling out prosecution, but will you tell your Justice Department to investigate these cases and follow the evidence wherever it leads?”

"Prosecute Bush’s Crimes" ???
Set that precedent and Americans will tar, feather, and hang obama and his communist czars., and we wouldn't want to forget that sedicious bastard Soros.
Maybe Americans will at least begin to recognize the progressive infestation has permeated every aspect of out lives.

~ Abraham Lincoln
The Republic can survive a Borack obama, who is merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools as those who made him their president.
And that is the exact precedent that needs to be set !
