Exmil - Congress has *very* wide powers to investigate anything it wants to.
Making waves now is fairly pointless. If the Committee Chairs change over to Republicans next year its high likely investigating Obama is going to become a new sport.

"Darrell Issa ready to send dozens of investigators after Dems if GOP retakes House , pm on June 18, 2010
-snip-
Rep. Darrell Issa, the conservative firebrand whose specialty is lobbing corruption allegations at the Obama White House, is making plans to hire dozens of subpoena-wielding investigators if Republicans win the House this fall…
Issa has told Republican leadership that if he becomes chairman, he wants to roughly double his staff from 40 to between 70 and 80. And he is not subtle about what that means for President Barack Obama.
At a recent speech to Pennsylvania Republicans here, he boasted about what would happen if the GOP wins 39 seats, and he gets the power to subpoena.
“That will make all the difference in the world,” he told 400 applauding party members during a dinner at the chocolate-themed Hershey Lodge. “I won’t use it to have corporate America live in fear that we’re going to subpoena everything. I will use it to get the very information that today the White House is either shredding or not producing."”

Clown Jamese777 - There will be no congressional investigation after the November election. No Republican member of Congress has even called for an investigation.

Grand juries are the way to go. Congressional investigations end with thousand page reports that get entered into the Congressional record.
