Obama's problem may be he is too nice..

and does not know/want to fight fire with fire.. The democrats in congress sure have shown THEY can not fight there way out of a paper bag!

I can see it now.. as we slowly pull out of Iraq and there is less and less of an American Military presence Iraq will revert to what would have happened there if we had NEVER stepped in and Saddam had died ( say of a heart attack).. the forces inside will explode .. like the top being taken off a pressure cooker.. They will have to seek there own levels and it will be a bloody mess. and WHO will get the blame.. George W Bush??? Where it ALL belongs for getting us in there in the 1st place??? Well maybe by peeps who visit this site.. but most will go on to Obama.. That is why it was SOO important to have televised congressional hearings on HOW and WHY we got into Iraq in the 1st place. To make sure GWB and all the neo cons can not be allowed to squirm back under rocks and hide when the shit hits the fan as it surely well once we leave.. and lord knows we can not stay.. ( unless we plan to make Iraq the 51st state)...

2. Pffft.

Obama would be under fire if he were half as callous as GWB and a hundredth as threatening as Cheney.

3. If by nice you mean...

too willing to please Republicans, Wall Street, and bankers, then yes.

4. I see it differently. I think he is too SAFE.

Very few, if any, political chances taken in the first 90 days.

5. I'd like to see hearings about a bunch of things.

We've been waiting a long time for the truth - and we deserve to know. I agree that it would be to Congress' and Obama's political advantage to hold them, as well. I just wished they agreed.
