Barack Obama pledged that “transparency and the rule of law
will be the touchstones of this presidency.”
With all due disrespect to Nancy Pelosi,
I am also recalling that she declared
that Republicans in Congress at one time were plagued by a “culture of
corruption at the expense of the American people.”
President Barack Hussein Obama and his “culture of
corruption” have exceeded even that of the Nixon Administration. It is fascinating that the media, who have
covered for his every misstep and made excuses for every instance in which he
has thwarted both Congress and the Constitution, should all of a sudden wake up
and complain, because this time it is they who have been wronged when the Department of Justice wiretapped the phones of the AP. That changes everything.
Now they are angry and seem to be more ready to actually investigate
instead of just repeating everything they are told by a classic
prevaricator. As pastor Martin Niemöller said, in part, in the time of Germany’s
takeover by Hitler, (and no, I am not accusing Obama of genocide):
“First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.”
and there was no one left to speak for me.”
Our President grew up being indoctrinated in
the belief that America
is not a good country. He says of his
time in Indonesia
where he studied the Koran, “I was a little Jakarta street kid.” He has exclaimed that the sound of the
Islamic Call to Prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.” It is certain that he was not taught to love America while
being educated in an Infidel-hating country and culture.
When back in America he admittedly chose his
friends in college by picking out the most radical ones; he spent
decades attending
the church of a man who famously preached "God d___ America!", saying
after 9/11 that our "chickens had come home to roost"; and he befriended
a
Weather Underground member, Bill Ayers, who bombed public buildings to
protest
the Viet Nam War. He worked as a
Community Organizer, using Saul Alinsky's Rules for
Radicals.
Once elected President, he appointed a long
list of his radical friends to recognized government posts including the
Cabinet. He also appointed many of them
as his Czars, who are not authorized nor overseen by Congress. In those positions they wrote many new rules
and regulations, many against the direct votes of Congress. They were following in the footsteps of their
leader, who has repeatedly countermanded the votes of Congress by writing his many
Executive Orders.
It has become believable that our President,
having placed his appropriately radical friends in powerful positions, did not need to be told of everything they do. In fact he didn’t want to know what they were
doing. What better way to be able to
say, “I don’t know anything about that!”
That he tells bald-faced lies to defend his own actions has been
repeatedly proven. It’s as if he doesn’t
know that audio and video of his speeches exist. This same President who
recently told The Ohio State University graduates that they should reject those
who warn of government tyranny is now embroiled in actions which can only be
described as government tyranny. Our
government is attempting to intimidate those of us who do not agree with the
agenda of Barack Obama. The very
definition of tyranny is absolute power, and this President is attempting to
have it, going so far as to lament that he is being restrained by the Constitution.
The list of scandals about which Barack Obama
is defending himself include but are not limited to:
1) “Fast and Furious”,
the gun-running program allowing American guns into Mexico and then losing track of the
weapons
2) His secret and
personally chosen enemy kill lists
3) The power to indefinitely
detain any American he chooses to detain, directly against our
Constitution
4) The 4 Benghazi deaths and the
“stand down” order given, while falsely blaming an American’s video. Obama’s recent release of “all” emails
regarding this subject omitted the emails of the first two days immediately
following the deaths in Benghazi.
We still do not know what Barack Obama was doing after Hillary Clinton and Leon
Panetta were told by him to do what needed to be done.
5) The newly admitted IRS scandal of targeting
conservative organizations and the leaking of that private information to
the media for their use. This went so
far in one case as to demand that a conservative group who trains high school
and college students, Lynchpins of Liberty, to divulge the name of every single
young person whom they trained. And now
our President is threatening any critics in Congress
to “treat (the IRS) with the responsibility it deserves and in a way that
doesn’t smack of politics or partisan agendas.” Now that’s funny! Add to this intimidation the fact that it is
the all-powerful IRS who will monitor us and tax us on Obamacare. The
IRS is currently defending a class action lawsuit from companies which
claim that the IRS stole more than 60 million medical records
of more than 10 million Americans.
6) And last but not least is the newest scandal - the DOJ
tapping the phones of AP reporters, and allegedly the phones in our House of
Representatives' cloak room as well.
All of this can be expected when a President so
carefully chooses his Administration members that he does not have to lead them
at all. He just lets them do what he
knows they will do, and he can thus try to keep his hands clean. He is
either lying again, he is an Empty Suit, or he is unwilling, uninterested or unable
to actually control his own Administration.
