ABC News has posted a story stating that the Democrat National Committee DNC) has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for information on potential Obama challengers in 2012. 

According to the article:

“The request for information on Gingrich stretches back to 1979, when he was a freshman member of the House. The DNC is asking for information related to Palin’s service on the Wasilla, Alaska, City Council in the early 1990s, while the Pawlenty request includes his service on the Planning Commission in Eagan, Minn., in 1988 and 1989.”

There is nothing wrong with the DNC filing this request for information.  That is not what I am complaining about.  My question is simple–shouldn’t the DNC be spending the time on coming up with ideas to solve America’s problems rather than looking for ways to tear down its opponents?
