Do you think the majority of the American people would support Obama
having bushco arrested on day 1 of his administration. Of course it's not going to happen, but where do you think the American people are at regarding bushco?

2. YES! Prosecution is NEVER off the table.
Round 'em up and let the trials begin. Gitmo awaits their arrival.

11. You're right! After all, it's a long-standing tradition
that incoming Presidents round up the leaders of the opposition party and throw them all in island military prisons. In banana republics, that is.

that intentionally and willfully destroyed our nation. So I guess we should let them off the hook, like nancy.

3. The majority of Americans don't support gay marriage.
There's the popular thing to do. And then there's the right thing to do.

4. At least 70% disapprove of him so I don't think Obama would have a problem. nt

It's one thing for him to have high disapproval ratings, but that doesn't translate into punishment for most Americans. Besides, it'll never happen. I'll hit the lottery before Bush ever sees a court.

6. Simple answer - NO. No one in the Democratic power structure wants it, so it will
not happen. There are not even going to be any investigations. Obama has said that the US has to look forward, so any glances back will only distract from the goal of moving forward. With most of the population worrying about food and shelter, the quaint concept of justice is waaaay down the list of priorities. Anyone who pesters the incoming administration to go after the previous one is an obstacle to what Pres. Obama wants to do. Get over it.

7. Not on Day 1, but by Day 101 they may have learned enough to...
understand why it was necessary. Unfortunately, it's not going to happen.

The majority of americans still think he is a decent man that just got hit with circumstances. They don't want an American pResident to be dragged through the muck..

9. I don't really believe the American people are in favor of
incoming Presidents throwing their political rivals in jail.

13. You are right, it is never going to happen.
The American people want Obama to concentrate on the economy, saving their homes and their jobs. We should not confuse people's disapproval of Bushco with a longing to spend months on trials. That is the reality.

15. I would love for Obama's first statement of his Inaugural Speech to announce Bush's arrest
Then on live television, at the Inaugural Ceremony, the Federal Marshals take Bush away in handcuffs. Hey, I can dream can't I??
