1. What did you think of the President's answer?
I thought it was okay. He did say those who are found guilty should be prosecuted or something like that

5. But generally speaking, let's move foward, not backward
Ambiguity again. We'll see.

9. Not really...
I think he's just saying his office won't look into it, but that no one is above the law and people who break the law should be prosecuted.

4. I agree
those who want Bush investigated yesterday will definitely not be satisfied. I am just happy he did not take it off the table.

7. If I hear him say one more time that he
prefers to get things right going forward rather than look back, I'm going to throw up!

13. But first they have to be investigated and charged.
Otherwise his words are just that, words.

14. I feel that he left that door open in his answer, though

10. The way he handled it gave him a perfect nine in the poll on some other post.
Too much waffling. Too much evasion. Too much non-committment
I'm not happy about his weaving through the choppy waters not taking a firm stand.

12. No one is above the law"" is a very firm stand
I was very impressed that he was so clear and direct.

17. He's not gonna pre-empt his own Dept. of Justice.
Hell, he didn't even want to pre-empt his treasury secretary!

18. I would think Congress would be the best body to do it, too.
Hearings hearings and more hearings--then a few actions by the Atty. Gen. would be the ticket.
