Zero. I would expect Obama to go under oath zero times as well. You will find my opinion on Executive Power won't change based on who is in the WH.

Libby was charged with perjury and obstruction of justice because the jury determined that he lied and impeded the FBI investigation! But you know better than the jury.

We know what happened and we know Fitzgerald knew who leaked the information at the time he had Libby under oath and knew it was not Libby.
Do you support Emanuel being placed under oath and possibly being set up for a perjury charge?
Do you acknowledge the fact that Fitzgerald could easily set Emanuel up for perjury?
Is that acceptable to you?

Using the six degrees of separation game like this you can connect almost anyone in politics to this scandal. The question isn't whether he's connected to this- it's whether he or any one in his staff have engaged in inappropriate actions.

We certainly don't need six degrees of separation in this case. I think there has been direct contacts between all the parties, they know each other pretty well.
One thing I am not clear on. I lived near Chicago an I am familiar with Chicago politics, but I am not really familiar with inside the beltway politics.
So, is Obama bringing Chicago big league cronyism/corruption style politics to Washington or is Obama going to the big leagues of Washington cronyism/corruption style politics from Chicago?
