Are we done with criminals in our White House?

The current regime running America has spent the past 8 years blatantly refusing to cooperate with courts, lawyers, Congress, investigations, and the like. When called to answer questions voluntarily about issues of national security, they refuse. When ordered to testify under oath in front of congressional inquiries, they refuse. They treat subponeas like most people treat telemarketers. Good thing they're on their way out the door, right? It'll be nice to be rid of criminals in the government that have no respect for the authority of law.

But wait... we may not be done with their kind yet.

The Associated Press reports that "Gov. Sarah Palin is unlikely to speak with an independent counsel hired by Alaska lawmakers to review the firing of her public safety commissioner." Likewise, her husband is refusing to cooperate with a subponea in the same case. Sarah Palin, the woman who is supposedly championing ethics reform, is refusing to cooperate with her own ethics probe.

Don't we deserve better than more of the same?

If you're not familiar with Sarah Palin, I offer these articles for your enjoyment (and am happy to receive any from you in return):

Whatever your views are, whoever you support... ask yourself if you could deal with four more years of the same kind of government that set the stage for financial giants like Merrill Lynch to fall... four more years of a government that thinks they are above the law... four more years of lies and half-truths.
