Hey, Joe!

Nice find by Jiminy Jilliker:

The thing I like about this is the way he emphasizes Congress's responsibility (and acknowledges their efforts so far). While some of us like nothing finer than the thought of Bush, Cheney, et al, being marched off to Gitmo while President Obama proclaims, "Our long national nightmare is over," we don't want a sound bite that the rightwing noise machine can use to make it seem like we're running on a platform of vengeance.

I am all over the place on the issue of investigating the Bush Administration. Certainly, in my heart, I'd like to see it happen, and intellectually, there's a lot that appeals about notions of accountability. However, done too fast, it could be seen as a witch hunt, which could hurt efforts to push our agenda on other matters, like a new energy plan, health care, ending the Iraq occupation, and getting the economy back on track. I think Biden illustrates the way to go about it -- brick by brick, calmly, dispassionately, but inexorably.

No drama. Yes we can.
