They spent two full years pretending they were the only ones who mattered. Now, they are whining because they are not.

There are committees on the Hill that are all about investigations and subpoenas and they are in existence per the United States Code - in other words, they exist for the purpose of keeping the Executive Branch honest and the Federal System functioning as prescribed by law.

You have never read an objection from this editor with regard to investigating Bush, even for "war crimes." If he is not guilty of such. there is nothing to fear. Of course, it is not the investigation, itself , that is the problem. Rather, tt is how the fact of the particular investigation is reported and the biased reporting of same in the radicalized media - whether Left or Right.

Midknight Review and this editor will report on the facts of the various investigations and any resulting final judgments. We are partisan but not bigoted.

Further, we will continue to report on our conclusions as to the honesty of this president but will not confuse our opinion with any of the investigative committees.

Expect the 2011 Democrats and their supposed leader, Barack Obama, to turn into the Party of Whiners. Michelle Malkin uses the following "seal" often. We intend to do likewise. Expect the Dems to ignore the fact that committee investigations are required by law. Instead, they plan a two prong attack in the coming months: whine about the investigations and oppose all of the Conservative agenda presented in the House. They will be the new "party of no."

Obama's agenda will be a little different. Of course, there will be the proverbial whining, but more than taking a "no" stance, Obama will be hell bent on circumventing Congress and "legislating" via the powers of the various Federal agencies. He has already tried this tactic. Now, with the new and improved 112th Congress, the only avenue available for advancement of his Socialist/One World agenda is the dictatorial use of agency regulations. This strategy is grossly unAmerican boarding on traitorists. Obama does not have the legal right to function as a dictator as he misuses existing law ala the likes of a Hugo Chavez (Venezuela). He is attempting his "fundamental change" via whatever comes to mind. "The ends justify the means," with this guy, and he must not be allowed to [politically] survive this onslaught on the United States of America. Coup by regulatory fiat is now the main thrust of his plans for this country.

In Venezuela, Chavez has taken control of the Internet, the oil industry and the nation's educational system. Along the same lines, Obama is attempting control of the Internet via FTC and FCC regulations. He buried educational controls within the wording of the Health Care bill, and East Coast drilling has come to a virtual halt via his [mis] use of the permit process. He has increased presidential controls over the banking industry with the passage of FenReg and is using the EPA to establish parts of the Cap and Trade laws he had hoped to pass through Congress.

He is a stinking menace to this country because he refuses to play by the rules. We didn't like Clinton, but Bubba governed by the rules. Circumventing Congressional review, under the pretense that "the American people want to get things done," is a dictatorial function under the guise of pretense. It is dishonest from a Constitutional perspective and illegitimate for the very reason.

Understand that the DC Court of Appeals, in charge of the judicial oversight of the regulatory agencies, has already told the FCC it had no legal authority to press for a thing called "net neutrality." Obama has ignored that decision and is pressing for that control, using different working in the new regulations.

When we speak of him being a "stinking menace," this is why. But, again, our obvious bias will be softened when reporting on the conclusions of committee investigations.
