Pelosi: Investigate, Prosecute Bush, and roll back his tax cuts.

Good to see someone remember they’re Democrats.

I guess when you’re riding a popularity wave as strong as this, it’s time to hang ten.  Beyond the fact that Obama’s leadership rates as high as Bush’s inflated numbers right after 9/11, the contrast with Bush now is stark as he has sunk to an all time low and has been there for a couple of years. 

As the principle driver of Obama’s legislative agenda, Pelosi is in a great position to stab at the heart of the conservative cabal that ran this country like a mafia fiefdom.  She can take risks Obama won’t, lest he lose his mandate — which in turn will feed Pelosi’s success.  It’s an interesting dance.

Bottom line though, the conservatives have “emboldened” their worst enemy, a liberal Congress with populist backing.
