If Obama learned anything from Bush
GOP Vows to Ramp Up Investigations of Obama

If Republicans regain control of the House in November, some have vowed to launch investigations into controversies that Democrats have tried to ignore, including the New Black Panther voter intimidation case and the activities of the community activist group ACORN.
Fuck that. If Obama learned anything from George Bush and Dick Cheney it should be that if the House tries to subpoena you, just invoke executive privilege and tell them to go to hell. They said the executive branch was separate and didn't have to answer to the House, remember?

Don't be like Bill Clinton. Use the Bush model instead. Don't testify. Don't even show up. What are they going to do, arrest you? And if they arrest anyone one under you, just pardon them.
