TexasTiger 13,006 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 "On January 20th, 2009, if George Bush and Dick Cheney are not appropriately held to account this Administration will hand off a toolbox with more powers than any President has ever had, more powers than the founders could have imagined. And that box may be handed to Hillary Clinton or it may be handed to Mitt Romney or Barack Obama or someone else. But whoever gets it, one of the things we know about power is that people don't give away the tools."  John Nichols Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
