Midknight Review -- new and revised: GOP subpoena power

Paul Krugman / New York Times: It's Witch-Hunt Season — The last time a Democrat sat in the White House, he faced a nonstop witch hunt by his political opponents. Prominent figures on the right accused Bill and Hillary Clinton of everything from drug smuggling to murder. And once Republicans took control of Congress . . . . .

Editor's notes: look, Clinton was not a bad president, but "witch hunt?" Give me a break !! The man walked around the White House with his pants on the floor. . . . . . at least after he met Monica. And how did the Libs defend this action? "What he does in his private life is his business."

Good argument, seriously, except for one little problem; HE WAS ON THE JOB, AT WORK, and not at home or in some sleezy motel room. Monica signed into the White House 60 different times. Each time, it is reported that she left smiling. On one occasion, Clinton and Monica kept heads of state waiting in the Rose Garden for 45 minutes until they finished doing the wild thing with a cigar - or so Monica wrote in her tell-all book.

Understand what is going on, here. In the Krugman article, we have the first effort in a strategy for defending Obama against charges of illegal activities if the GOP takes back the House of Representatives. And questions abound. Where did the monies for the GM "debt payback" come from in view of the fact that GM had no money to make the 6.6 billion payment (1Q of this year)? Was undue pressure put on bankers to comply with Obama's push to force big banks to take Federal monies? What was the relationship between SEIU and Obama? Did ACORN benefit financially from Obama's free access to Fannie and Freddie funds ? What will an audit of the two mortgage entities reveal with regard to Democrat supervision of those institutions ? Is Obama, in fact, a US citizen (this should take no more than 10 minutes of investigative time) ? Has Obama exceeded Federal law with regards to gifts and aid to Muslim concerns (Hamas, overseas mosque repairs and construction, collusion with the PLO) ? Were financial laws violated in the takeover of GM? Were campaign laws broken in the collection of $800 million for Obama's '08 campaign ? What are the sources for $400 million, given to Obama in '08 and kept secret until now? Did Obama's White House offer positions to candidates in an effort to influence elections ?

These are just a few of the issues needing investigation. Witch hunt? We don't think so.

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."
