Obama might pursue criminal charges against Bush
Guardian ^ | September 03 2008 | Elana Schor

Posted on 09/03/2008 6:17:38 PM PDT by Lorianne

Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden said yesterday that he and running mate Barack Obama could pursue criminal charges against the Bush administration if they are elected in November.

Biden's comments, first reported by ABC news, attracted little notice on a day dominated by the drama surrounding his Republican counterpart, Alaska governor Sarah Palin.

But his statements represent the Democrats' strongest vow so far this year to investigate alleged misdeeds committed during the Bush years.

"If there has been a basis upon which you can pursue someone for a criminal violation, they will be pursued," Biden said during a campaign event in Deerfield Beach, Florida, according to ABC.

"[N]ot out of vengeance, not out of retribution," he added, "out of the need to preserve the notion that no one, no attorney general, no president -- no one is above the law."

And for the sake of consistency, they'll dismiss any and all charges being levied against Biden's son and brother in the fraud scheme they are currently embroiled in.

Let's see. Is that any less immoral or unethical that a teen pregnancy?

My thoughts exactly.

They have really gone insane. The great news is that it is impossible for Obama to be elected President, it is just impossible. American will not elect a defeatist, socialist, abortionist, left wing liberal to be our President and Commander in Chief. In addition to that 20% of his party are just racists who will never vote for a black person. Yes it is true, most racists are democrats and a large part of these racists are liberals. He can never win an elections with only 80% of his party voting for him.

LOL. Good one. Bring everything back to Bristol Palin's pregnancy. You should offer your services as a talking points writer for the DNC.

But will this take time away from the investigations and indictments of Biden’s son and brother?

couldn’t President Bush pardon everyone in his administration,

Along those same lines, I always wondered what would happen if a president elect, along with the vice-president elect, were accidentally killed after winning the election in November.

Who would be sworn in on Jan. 21?

Would it be the Speaker of the House, and would he or she then serve the entire four years, or would there be another election??

Inquiring minds want to know.

This might be a good lesson for the RINOs - you can bargain with liberals they are in it to win. If conservatives dont start playing tough there wont be any conservatives left in the very near future.

I remember how Bush prided himself on reaching over the isle to the demoncrats - look at how they spit on him and talk about him as the devil. There is a lesson here and I hope the McCain etal see that the liberals must be dealt with like an evil dictator - they only understand strength -show them weakness and they will attack you like a cackling gang of hyenas.

“out of the need to preserve the notion that no one, no attorney general, no president — no one is above the law.”

Cool. Ok Obama. Let’s start with the story of how you got $300,000 knocked off the asking price of your house.

Bush just needs to write a blanket pardon for himself and be done with it then they could not do squat.

what a doofus

Biden never even pursued charges against the “drunk” truck driver who killed his wife and baby

Oh wait, the truck driver wasn’t drunk even though Joe has said so for three decades
