Midknight Review -- new and revised: Obama is about to go "under the lights" Can he stand the test of subponea power ?

No one is accusing the Obama administration of destroying documents, but Republicans are expected to try to ensure that all records — on a range of issues — are kept intact.  

Darrell West, a political scientist and director of governance studies at the Brookings Institution, said Republicans likely will formally ask the administration not to shred or delete any relevant documents that could be requested in a congressional probe.  

“That’ll happen right away, because they want to make sure that the documentary record is preserved so that they have something to investigate,” said West.   . . . . READ THE FULL ARTICLE >>>>>>

Editor's notes: Darrel Issa is soon to have subpoena power as Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. We have mentioned this on several occasions, previously. MSNBC spent a half hour several months ago lamenting the fact that a House victory for the GOP would mean investigations by those concerned with the secret dealings of this Administration. Of course, it was not cast in those words, but that is exactly what is feared.

Midknight Review encourages responsible inquiry. We simply do not want a remake of the Clinton years, however. There is much to question. What is going on with the Fed; ACORN's funding; Obama's relationship with Big Labor and his propensity to offer rewards for partisan cooperation are a few of the concerns of this editor. We believe that most, if not all, of these investigations need to be done without drawing unnecessary public attention. Nonetheless, understand that there will be fireworks. Obama has never been in a position where his comings and goings are scrutinized. We believe that he may have conducted himself over the past 21 months as one who will never be investigated. This may be the cause of much concern. Time will tell.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
