Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden was backtracking big-time yesterday over suggestions that an Obama-Biden administration might someday bring criminal charges against President Bush.

“I don’t know where that report is coming from,” said the Delaware senator.

Why, from Joe Biden is where.

Speaking in Deerfield Beach, Fla., this week, he was asked whether “you guys are going to pursue the violations that have been made against our Constitution by the present administration.”

Biden’s reply: “Yes.”

He then added, “We will not be ‘stopped’ from pursuing any criminal offenses that occurred” during the Bush years. “If there has been a basis upon which you can pursue someone for a criminal violation, they will be pursued.”

Correcting for Biden’s bizarre speaking style, this sounds pretty clear-cut: Bush-Cheney are looking at hard time.

What about Obama?

Last April, when asked about investigating “high crimes in the White House,” he said he would “have my justice Department and my attorney general immediately review the information that’s already there and to find out if there are inquiries that need to be pursued.”

In other words, maybe.

Whether either man really means it, or whether they’re trying to keep their party’s moonbat base happy, isn’t clear.

So let us be clear here.

We know that the loony left has been aching for a Bush-Cheney frog-march into the jailhouse since Jan. 20, 2001.

But criminalizing policy differences – which is what Obama-Biden seems to be talking about it – is how they conduct politics in Third World banana republics.

Jail to the chief?

Why not just promise to line up the outgoing administration against a wall and start shooting?

Biden needs to watch his mouth.

Obama, too.
