Obama: Never Supported Gonzales Anyway

ABC's Jonathan Greenberger reports: Senator Barack Obama, D-IL, added himself to the chorus of Democrats calling for an investigation of the way the US Attorneys' firings were handled by the Department of Justice, and specifically by Attorney Genereal Alberto Gonzales. He stopped short of joining Sen. Chuck Schumer of NY in calling for Gonzales' resignation.
"I opposed Mr. Gonzales' nomination, in part, because he had shown in his role as White House Counsel a penchant for subverting justice to serve the President's political goals, and I feared that in an Attorney General. Sadly, the latest revelations underscore my concern. Americans deserve to know who in the White House is pulling the strings at the Department of Justice, and why. Anyone involved should appear under oath and answer these questions."
