The plan for hearings if Republicans take house
If Republicans take control of the House of Representatives, as they are expected to, Democrats’ policies may not be the only thing they attack.
A Republican-controlled House is expected to begin investigations and hearings into the Obama White House in what might hark back to the days of the Clinton administration.
Michael Tomasky, editor at large for The Guardian, predicts Republicans will investigate President Obama’s dealings with the New Black Panther Party, Rahm Emanuel’s alleged offerings of jobs to people so they would not run for offices, and hearings on the bailouts.
