Yes The Dems had the chance BUT the republicans cried about not starting off in the negative with a new President so the Democrats backed off. They also wanted a investigation into the unaccounted for $6 BILLION bucks from IRAQ & that was shot down by the courts! Follow the money trail from Iraq Pre-exit To Present, KOCH brothers, freedomworks. Congress 2010 Connect The Dots & Follow The Money!

Without Congress, it was impossible. Any idiot knows that.

I am not criticizing him for not doing it, his entire party took the easy way out on that...

But he had the opportunity to use the House when they had control of the house and senate, to have Nancy get it going

they didnt

they should have

Whatever else one may think of Obama, he is undeniably a smart man. He deserves the benefit of the doubt. If he didn't think it was doable, it probably wasn't.

gone after those criminals and some would have faith in the justice system again

I am NOT blaming Obama nor was he, just making an observation

It should have been done and I bet you some are sorry now in power that they didnt

But since the President would have been yelling "charge" with virtually no elected officials to back him up, it would have been a profoundly pointless move.

If, apart from the view of extreme partisans, one can find any indication that there was any popular support for President Obama starting his historic presidency in such a fashion, I'd love to see it.

No.

So now we move back another step and ask the question: should Obama and the Democrats, facing a crashing economy, made a centerpiece of their campaigns a promise to focus on investigating Bushco.
