As if he didn't already have enough on his plate, President Obama will now likely have to deal with something he hoped to avoid: revisiting Bush-era scandals.

Attorney General Eric Holder is likely to push forward with a criminal investigation into the Bush administration's interrogation practices on suspected terrorists, ABC News' George Stephanopoulos confirmed today. This comes despite the White House's desire to see the issue disappear.

"We need to look forward as opposed to looking backwards," Obama told Stephanopoulos on "This Week" in January.

Poor 'Bama....his entire administration is Bush's fault. SNORT!

[erkyl]

Here we go...Obama’s popularity is plunging, confidence in the democrats is plummeting so they pull out the only rabbit they have in their hat....’BLAME BUSH!’

Are these idiots transparent, or what?

[bboop]

“I really don’t want this, but I can’t stop my AG,” lies Mr. Obama, teflonning his way out of yet another DECISION.

I find it quite a feat for lil’ Georgie Steph to still be able to construct a sentence when his face is so far up Obama’s behind.

Most magicians use smoke and mirrors to create “ghosts” in order to distract their audiences. That’s how I see this fiasco. When the news ain’t good, change the news.

Obama’s numbers going down, down, down. You just KNEW there was going to be another ‘Bush’s Fault’ on the horizon.
The ‘progressives’ will NEVER take responsiblity for anything.

[anniegetyourgun]

Or at least when their news isn’t good, they know to break out the Bush doll and shake it in front of the audience.

[griswold3]

Since Obama has a Third World Sectarian world view, this action would be typical.

[xtinct]

gee!! Is there anyone left that doesn't realize that the Bush Witch Hunt is ALL the maggots in the Obambi Administration have right now to detract the citizens away from the real fact --> Obambi and company are destroying America????

Oh yeah... the moonbats probably still believe in hope and change... sheesh!!!

[skimbell]

This will set a new precedent. One administration investigating the previous administration every time we have a change in the WH. Can't wait till Palin starts the Treason investigations on 0 and his boys in 2013.

[TheBattman]

That is the whole point why the libs won’t let the Bush administration fade into the history books and keep trying their best to dredge up trash. They know that 0bama has much bigger problems than Bush did in 8 years, and want to deflect attention away from their hero.

[2banana]

I can’t wait for the 2012 0bama trials to begin!!!

I wonder how any of these bozos can say things like this with a straght face.

[FlingWingFlyer]

You got that right!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Great point.

[anniegetyourgun]

I don't know why the MSM doesn't just replace their ticker strip on bottom of TV screen to permanently read:

BUSH - CHENEY - BUSH - RUMSFELD - BUSH - CHENEY - BUSH - IRAQ - BUSH - CHENEY

[GeronL]

Hearings will make them look like Soviet-era apparatchicks... or a 3rd world country where election winners execute the losers

[Brilliant]

Obama does not want these ‘’scandals’’ to disappear. He wants to use them as a diversion from his screw ups. But he does want you to think he had nothing to do with it.

[Richard Kimball]

Comrades! You don't want Snowball to come back, do you?

Little Animal Farm reference, there.

[crusher]

Ummm, is Eric Holder an independent player here? NO! Only a true blithering idiot believes that Obummer is “troubled” by this purposeful distraction from the monumental failures of his own Soviet-style policies. But “blithering idiot” pretty much describes more than 75% of the electorate...
