Something big Obama will have to deal with that nobody is talking about.

[stevietheman]

First, it will be a trickle, but by sometime in Spring it will be a full torrent.

I predict that an increasing number of government employees/insiders, no longer hamstrung by Bush Regime controls, will be spilling the beans on all the various Bush Regime crimes and misconduct, and that this will create such a rush of sensational stories in the media that it risks overwhelming almost any initiative Obama wants to pursue.

I honestly believe this is going to be Obama's greatest challenge in his first year, outside of a potential terrorist attack or unexpected war/conflict.

Any thoughts?

1. Sy Hersch already said that he's got contacts who will spill the beans on Bush

after Jan. 20, 2009.

2. It shouldn't be a challenge to the White House/Obama but if you

are right, I think it would be a huge challenge/embarassment to Congress, especially those who ignored and/or enabled the past eight years of criminality by the Bush administration.

3. Damn right.

Damn right.

4. Let the media use every page on Bush Scandals...as long as Congress

enacts the Obama initiatives.
Perhaps Obama can use it to his advantage. If the media are so busy with the bushit, they cannot spend too much space on putting negative spin on what Obama wants to get done.

And as the above poster said, if the revelations are embarrassing to those still in Congress they had better either keep quiet, or make sure to support all the things that Obama tries to do to correct the disasters that they were complicit in creating..

5. We should only hope that this will be the biggest problem Obama faced.....

I'm sure he would welcome it, and so would I.

6. The Repiglickin' Media Won't Report It

7. If it becomes the torrent you think it will

Then perhaps there'll be enough pressure to put those fuckers on trial for war crimes.

I'm sure the statute of limitations isn't gonna run out by January 20.
