So let's make sure he does the right thing, and prosecute the criminals in the previous government. Blagojevich shouldn't be the only guy heading to prison this year.

Laws without enforcement are a WASTE OF TIME, one could argue. Yes,sometimes laws act as a deterrent to potential violators, but not to government officials it seems. you talk about creating new laws and working hard, but what GOOD does it do to have laws if certain individuals, acting as if they were king or royaly above the law, IGNORE the laws.

No one is above the law. Bush/Cheney thought they were above it with listening to phone calls, invading another country with out the okay of Congress. Then there's all those lies about WMDs, Cheney's secret energy meetings, plus so much more. Even my church was targeted for "political" reasons. They should not get away with it.

Unfortunately, in all reality, what would these prosecutions do? I can only see consequences that help to keep our populace divided. No trial will change what happened in the past, nor will it change what is happening now. It's an ugly situation, to say the least. These people need to be held accountable, but we also need to move forward in a new direction. It's a sad truth to face, but if the Obama administration pushed for these prosecutions, then they would probably end up being media fodder, overshadowing the more important issues we have to face.

Palosi can fill us in on the legal end. In addition, the conduct of the Bush administration has, in fact, set a precedent. If the precedent isn't reversed, we can be certain that the bad conduct will return. Let's think ahead a little, folks.
