Another pathetic example: former White House advisor Karl Rove is still refusing to obey a Congressional subpoena to appear before Congress at hearings to determine the truth behind how we all got tricked into agreeing to go to war in Iraq. How can he do that? Because he has the attitude that he can do that. It all goes back to Ronald Reagan and his allowing the corporate interests to reach in and start to take over our government.
