The new Democratic majority's zeal for congressional investigations goes well beyond Alberto Gonzales and the fired federal prosecutors.
Aided by a new investigative team including a former mob prosecutor and a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, Democrats have launched more than three dozen probes of the administration ranging from the White House to obscure agency heads. The House Oversight Committee alone has conducted 20 investigations. With few legislative accomplishments in hand -- and only a few prospects in the offing -- it seems plain the 110th is shaping up as "The Oversight Congress." They are targeting a sweep of people and issues."
- The Oversight Congress: Trouble for Bush
THIS is the definition of 'Fishing', also known as a 'Witch Hunt'.
Anyone remember what the hundreds of hours of committee hearings, thousands of pages of documents being poured over, and desperate search for anything to pin on Bush resulted in?
Scooter Libby going to jail for perjury, arrested for lying under oath for something not even related to Bush directly. Wow, the 'oversight congress' really spent out money well.
The 'Funny' thing to come out of all of that was the Democrats' response to Bush criticizing them for wasting time / money conducting failed investigation after investigation:
"Democrats are the party of fiscal responsibility today because we believe our government must pay for the things it purchases and not force our children to pay our bills."
-- House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland
HISTORY LESSON: (For when you stop laughing)
Bush is credited with adding $4 trillion in new debt over 8 years during 2 wars, 9/11/01, and the financial aftermath of 9/11/01. Over a 6 year period, with all those happening, Bush and the GOP-controlled Congress added only $2.5 trillion in debt. AFTER Democrats took over a near super-majority control of Congress another $1.5 trillion was added...in only 2 YEARS! In these last 2 years, as Democrats love to point out, the economy went 'south' under THEIR control. PERHAPS IF THEY HAD BEEN FOCUSED MORE ON DOING THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS AND ON FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY THEY WOULD NOT HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE ECONOMY AND BEGUN ENGAGING IN SUCH HUGE DEFICIT-SPENDING.

REALLY?
With the help of his near super-majority controlled liberal Congress, Obama:
- Set 'monthly', 'annual', and 'total' U.S. deficit-spending records on the way to adding nearly $7 TRILLION in NEW debt over 4 (FOUR) YEARS, nearly DOUBLING that which was credited to Bush. The man's 1st economic bill was the failed nearly $1 Trillion Stimulus bill that contained over 7,000 pieces of self/DNC-serving DNC-Only PORK...that FAILED to do what was promised. It sure handed out the pork to themselves, donors, and friends yet failed to address the crumbling infrastructure, the outdated electrical grid, etc...while stacking the debt and interest onto the backs of our children. In all Obama added more debt than every President from Washington to Clinton COMBINED...but according to Hoyer, head of 1/2 of the The Oversight Congress" ...and libs..."Democrats are the party of fiscal responsibility today".
But back to the Bush 'Witch Hunt'...
Again, what came out of the entire tax payer-funded fishing expedition was nothing more than the arrest and imprisoning of one Scooter Libby. HERE'S THE KICKER: Anyone remember who the prosecuting Attorney General was at the time? NONE OTHER THAN EIRC HOLDER, THE MAN WHO WAS CAUGHT PERPETRATING 3 FELONY COUNTS OF PERJURY WHILE TRYING TO COVER UP OBAMA'S 'FAST AND FURIOUS' SCANDAL.
UNLIKE Libby, Holder had a corrupt President who intervened and made sure Holder was never indicted, arrested, or served any jail time.
