Bush investigating what went wrong with Katrina is like
like the wolf investigating what happenned to the sheep. The White House CANNOT investigate the White House. They did it with the 9-11 commision, they did it with the Presidential commision on Iraq Intelligence, but we can't CAN'T let them do it with Katrina.

If they get away with another Whitewash on this, I will just stop doing any more activism. And no, I am not being childish. If the democrats let them absolve themselves with a fake investigation AGAIN, then there's no point in me doing anything. Whatever crimes I help bring to light, whatever travesty I call attention to, the White House will investigate it. They'll investigate it all the way to the bank, again and again and again. To HELL with this.

1. But Congress wants him to investigate
Get the feeling ALL of Congress is benefiting from this? Can you spell collusion?

3. My blood is BOILING at the thought of another Whitewash right now!

SINCE WHEN DID SPEAKING THE TRUTH BECOME A REVOLUTIONARY THING?
Its just sick, and nobody seems to be saying Anything! We have to get Conyers and other true believers to stop this insanity, call for an INDEPENDENT investigation. Who do we know in Congress who can stand up against this shit?

4. Since he is dropping like a rock in the polls
And the people are fed up with him, maybe they will see it for the cover-up that it is. Then just maybe, more people will start to question all of his other "self investigations" that kept things covered up for him and they will realize that the official version has all been a whitewash for the last five years.

6. I wish I had your optimism right now

I don't even think most people know the White house investigated itself all those other times. Is the MSM going to tell them? Hell no! They've got to dig through all the lies and ass-covering themselves before they get anywhere near what actually happenened. People don't have time for all that. Most are just trying to keep up with rising prices of everything and the busy American lifestyle. If I was married with children, I would probably still have no idea what was going on too. God, but I know how Landrieu felt when she said, "I feel like punching him."
