President Barack Obama, in constant campaign mode because he
has no clue how to govern (i.e., lead), is out on the trail blaming Republicans
for our troubles and accusing them of being focused on “phony scandals.”
Barack Obama, who has done nothing positive that I am aware
of to benefit America,
never tires of blaming others and, being unwilling to own up to any of his
failures, just dismisses these very real scandals as “phony.” In a sane political
environment, any of five (at least) serious scandals would bring about either
(1) abject apologies and serious personnel discipline and possible criminal
trials, or (2) the impeachment or resignation of the president.
The “phony scandals” line is part of the administration’s
policy of stonewalling on these serious scandals and hoping they’ll go away as
time goes on. There will be no special prosecutors, because appointing them
would imply that there may be something to prosecute – which of course there
is.
Washington,
says the president, has “taken its eyes off the ball.” Otherwise, of course,
they’d be passing more tax increases, approving greater and greater spending,
and creating more idiotic “green energy” programs, doing more bankrolling of
crony “green” companies that will never succeed, some of which we’ll get anyway.
The Obama Administration’s corruption is a real scandal, and sometimes breaks out
in such blatant offenses as the IRS’ illegal targeting of Obama’s political opponents, plus Fast and Furious, a
gun-running operation gone wrong (that was supposed to bring about demand for
more gun control, but actually facilitated the deaths of an American Border
Patrol agent and many Mexicans). Then there’s the Benghazi
terrorist attack, in which four Americans died, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya. The president and secretary
of state abandoned the Americans to die and lied to their survivors and the
American people. Add to these the brazen targeting of James Rosen and the Associated
Press reporters by the Justice Department, plus the NSA revelations about accumulating
everyone’s phone records, reading who knows how many emails and listening to
who knows how many phone calls of Americans and our allies, not to mention the
creation of a massive database of everyone’s information. Any of these should be
enough to bring this administration down.
But simply label them “phony” and “fake” and hope they’ll
disappear – that’s the strategy, and the awful problem is, it may work a great
deal better than it should. Until this pathetic administration (and the Democrats)
are out of power, we will endure more and more scandal and less and less correction
by those responsible. The GOP must become real opposition, and citizens need to
pay more attention.
