"Now that a Democrat has been elected president, the Democrats in Congress have no excuse. They can no longer pretend that they have to "hold back" to win the election.

They have no excuse to delay war crimes charges against Bush, Cheney and company for Iraq.

They have no excuse to delay war crimes charges for torture.

They have no excuse to delay criminal charges for spying on Americans.

They have no excuse to delay criminal charges for 9/11.

Now is not the time for Democratic machine politics. Now is the time to implement true American values - cherished across the political aisle - of liberty and justice.

There can be no liberty in America unless the tyrants who have tried to imprison us and enslave us are prosecuted.

There can be no justice in America unless the high and mighty are held accountable for their actions.

Obama is a former Constitutional law professor. He knows the value of the Constitution and the rule of law. He promised during his campaign to curb the unconstitutional practices of the executive branch.

But that is not enough. Because if the tyrants in both parties who have trampled on the vision of the founding fathers are not held accountable, then future tyrants will learn that they can get away with it, also.

Now that Obama has won, there is no excuse. Those who have trampled on our country and our people must be held to account for the whole world and future generations to see."

I totally agree!!!! But I don't know how much it is realistic to expect such things..... I just think now it's up to the people to make pressures on these issues and others, at least you will have more chances to be heard now.
I would just add a few more:
no excuse to delay the closure of guantanamo
no excuse to delay the issue of climate change
no excuse to delay the moratorium on the death penalty

a question about the last one: is Obama really for death penality or do you think it was only a temporary stand he took for his election propaganda?

you're right in that there really are 'no excuses' for working towards the policies that obama and the democrats said they believed in and supported...however, i would say much on your list was NOT promised, nor even what the majority of americans want....so why would all that occur?

it IS exciting to think some positive change can happen, if so many are in agreement on much....get more pushed through a bit more easily, etc.

i am far more interested in seeing the governement working on getting an exit plan in action for iraq, preventing future aggressive actions, working on healthcare, environmental policy, etc.

and eva.....i wonder that too. that is probably the one issue i am am on complete opposite sides with obama's stated stances. i am completely anti-death penalty. and while i do think i's a very important issue....there are FAR more prssing issues in my own mind that even with that, he still was my best choice. i've yet to find a candidate who 100% represents my views.

They do have an excuse to not do all those things.

Most of the USA is so happy because of their new leader that they are going to forget about the war crimes & mass murders.
