		<description><![CDATA[<p>Some "missing" records of the Bush administration have surfaced. Here's hoping there's something in there that leads to prosecution.</p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='figure' style='float:right;margin-left:7px; width:250px;height:;text-align:right'><img id='img710' class=figure_img src='http://www.thegeekprofessor.com//graphics/posts/2009.12/bush_finger.jpg' alt="I'm outta office. Too late sucka!"  width='242px'  height='274px' /><div class=figure_text>I'm outta office. Too late sucka!</div></div><p>E-mail records required by law to be available were "lost" during the Bush administration and somehow no one seemed to end up bearing the responsibility. That aside, <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/12/14/groups-say-million-missing-bush-white-house-e-mails/">the e-mails have now been "found"</a> and it will be very interesting to see what's in them.</p>

<blockquote><p>Meredith Fuchs, general counsel to the National Security Archive, said "many poor choices were made during the Bush administration and there was little concern about the availability of e-mail records despite the fact that they were contending with regular subpoenas for records and had a legal obligation to preserve their records."</p>

<p>"We may never discover the full story of what happened here," said Melanie Sloan, CREW's executive director. "It seems like they just didn't want the e-mails preserved."</p></blockquote>

<p>"It seems like they just didn't want the e-mails preserved"&#8230;. No kidding. During a time when they were blocking the subpeona's of congress for Whitehouse staffers to testify against them for the screwups of <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/04/13/white.house.email/index.html">WMDs in Iraq, the CIA leak, the security agency spying case, and more</a>. I wonder what they could have to hide?</p>

<p>More importantly, can they retro-actively impeach him or is there some kind of statue of limitations? One of the biggest mistakes Obama has already made was to say that <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/12/us/politics/12inquire.html">we should look forward and not back</a>. That is incorrect mister president. The American public needs to see that abusers of power are held accountable. Make it so!</p>]]></content:encoded>
