The country was hemorrhaging jobs at nearly a million per month. The Democrats had FOUR MONTHS where they could stem all the bleeding, and keep the country out of a depression from which it would likely never recover, without having the republicans obstructing everything. That includes obstruction by career employees the Busheviks had burrowed throughout the government, including the legal system. We are still trying to dig out of it. They were also trying to get healthcare reform passed. If you want to keep believing that the Democratic Congress had the time to investigate Bush and Cheney on top of all of that, then you go right ahead, if that makes you feel feel better.
