DC,

Given the housing and mortgage crisis, do you think Congressional oversight should include the potential illegal acts of Jim Johnson, other potential conflicts of interest, undue influence from the industry by friends/supporters/donors of elected officials, and of course potential campaign finance violations by Obama and Rezco?

I bet many have enjoyed the "oversight" hearings when the targets were Bush, his administration, Halliburton, big oil, etc., but now I am interested in your explanation of how you would determine what is reasonable and what is not for Congressional oversight? McClellan's book adds no insight into what lead us to war, assuming how I think you would answer the question above, how do you justify support of McClellan testifying, adding no value, in front of Congress, but ignore something that could be far more compelling and potentially affecting real change in campaign finance reform and conflict of interest by those in charge of government sponsored agencies? If nothing else, just to show that even friends of the presumptive Presidential nominee can not get away with illegal acts. Many already have concluded that Jim Johnson has violated the law.

I am just curious, I know you can say it is different, it is a red herring, it is not related, etc., etc., etc., and I already know about my lack of fact based posts, my failures to include charts and graphs, my right-wing biases, my reliance on unreliable sources, etc, etc, etc, so you can save a few key strokes with any of that, or just completely ignore my illogical rantings and ravings. I am at peace with all of that stuff, but not with what I think may be empty rhetoric by our next President and the party in control of Congress.

{added} O.k., I might be impressed with Obama, but we will see.
