WASHINGTON – Attorney General Eric Holder is considering whether to appoint a criminal prosecutor to investigate the Bush administration's interrogation practices, a controversial move that would run counter to President Barack Obama's wishes to leave the issue in the past.

Lets start those investigations as long as they include why the IGs were fired and the black panthers being allowed to walk while violating rights.

Not only are your job creation numbers off, the "industry" you attribute them to is as well.
Suitably Flip: It's Official: Bush Economy Achieves Longest Period Of Job Creation On Record

That stimulus / bailout BS has proven to be just that. Chicken Little did a fine job, huh? Oh, and while some of us were asking "Why bailout the auto industry instead of letting them use the bankruptcy laws to restructure their organizations?", Chicken Little told us "8million of related service jobs will be lost!" Nothing like a little white lie to move things along.... Then, lo and behold, before you know it, the auto industry biggies are <gasp> filing for bankruptcy.... "DAYUM, Mr. President.... Why didn't you just do that in the first place?"

How's that middle class doing with the superior judgment calls of the POTUS? They going to wait another 18 months for those new jobs? Or biting their nails wonderin' if their job will be saved? The re-election campaign should be just about ready to launch by then....

WOW, tough call here NO biz sense... do I get my economic and financial info from The Wall Street Journal, or Suitably Flip???

Bush On Jobs: The Worst Track Record On Record

By WSJ Staff

President George W. Bush entered office in 2001 just as a recession was starting, and is preparing to leave in the middle of a long one. That’s almost 22 months of recession during his 96 months in office.

His job-creation record won’t look much better. The Bush administration created about three million jobs (net) over its eight years, a fraction of the 23 million jobs created under President Bill Clinton’s administration and only slightly better than President George H.W. Bush did in his four years in office.

Here’s a look at job creation under each president since the Labor Department started keeping payroll records in 1939. The counts are based on total payrolls between the start of the month the president took office (using the final payroll count for the end of the prior December) and his final December in office.

Because the size of the economy and labor force varies, we also calculate in percentage terms how much the total payroll count expanded under each president. The current President Bush, once taking account how long he’s been in office, shows the worst track record for job creation since the government began keeping records. –Sudeep Reddy

"People are very hungry for something new. I think they are interested in being called to be a part of something larger than the sort of small, petty, slash-and-burn politics that we have been seeing over the last several years."

like people whining about the president looking at a woman't butt or going out to theatre with his wife? you mean that type of small, petty, slash and burn politics?

"The true test of the American ideal is whether we’re able to recognize our failings and then rise together to meet the challenges of our time. Whether we allow ourselves to be shaped by events and history, or whether we act to shape them."

That's what dems said for 8 years. NOW you're concerned about it? you still want to give them a pass. there are reasons to not pursue them for what they did, but "bygones" isn't one of them.

that's why it's so disingenuous. You sat there while the worst president in histor trashed the country and bankrupted us, and you whine that the new guy isn't fixing his mess quick enough.



True...which is why the right is out of power for now. I don't see you guys playing the game any differently though. Michelle Bachmann??? Seriously??? And you want to talk about how we're NOT polarized?

"We’ve come to be consumed by a 24-hour, slash-and-burn, negative ad, bickering, small-minded politics that doesn’t move us forward."

Yep... like trashing the president for going out for a burger. How long was that news cycle? uh huh...

"Politics has become so bitter and partisan, so gummed up by money and influence, that we can't tackle the big problems that demand solutions. And that's what we have to change first. We have to change our politics, and come together around our common interests and concerns as Americans."

He's right. But the rightwingers don'tplay that way. Maybe the people from the "pro america parts of the country" should follow that...

My goodness.... That's an awful lot of justification in one post for the campaigning Presidential hopeful who was setting the bar so high for himself, isn't it?
