Why is Denier-in-Chief Barack Obama still president, and why is his scandal-scarred administration still around?
The stakes are high for the world’s top government, its credibility shakier than a belly dancer on hot coals, as one rumble after another abridges our safety and Constitution, and jades our morale and spirit.
Bam and his bamboozling brass promised transparency, but they’ve delivered more fog than a London morning, erecting smokescreens, raging belatedly, and absurdly recusing themselves in matters of vital importance to Americans entitled to a just life in a just nation.
The questions about the Oval Office’s assorted, dubious shenanigans are endless.
Like why it huffed, puffed, and rebuffed its way through the terror attack on our embassy in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans — including a sitting ambassador — and then tried to abort due scrutiny.
Like why the non-partisan Internal Revenue Service went for the jugular of conservative political groups that applied for tax-exempt status, behaving like a Bam biddy out to childishly crush the opposition.
Like why the Justice Department — ironically the one investigating the IRS — secretly seized Associated Press’s phone records in connection with a probe about the leak of classified information, opening a can of worms about its own ethics.
Like why terrorists received witness protection status and then vanished off the “no-fly” list.
Obama has vandalized America more than he has led it.
The national debt is a whopping $16 trillion, growing more than it did in eight years of President George W. Bush. Record numbers of Americans are on food stamps. Gas and health care costs are skyrocketing. Feckless foreign policies have compromised our world repute and clout. And selective budget cuts have killed time-honored traditions such as Fleet Week, but lavished funds on foreign aid more than on border security.
High-ranking cabinet members have added to the wet weekend.
Attorney General Eric Holder excused himself earlier this week from the Associated Press investigation, suggesting he issued the subpoenas himself, and he was held in unprecedented contempt of Congress last year, after refusing to fork over documents in a loused-up federal gun sting program that poured weapons into Mexico and caused the death of an American agent. And former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham-Clinton shrugged away criticism of the administration’s bungles in Benghazi with a cocky, “What difference at this point does it make?”
Actually plenty, now that the chickens have come home to roost.
The U.S. is a beacon of democracy because its government, while not perfect, has stuck with capitalism above socialism, championed American sovereignty over submission, and kept systemic corruption at bay with checks, balances, a free press, and a commitment to hard work. Most of all, the American way has prospered and conquered because the White House has navigated Americans through rough times with sound leadership.
Barack Hussein Obama has broken the mold. He was elected for his eloquent speeches, his race, and his background, and he is now being given a pass through his assorted disgraces because of it. What a sham.
His preoccupation with playing politics, instead of creating policies of advancement, has set the U.S. on a collision course with kismet. And political correctness, chronic denial, and a base camp of shirkers and panderers are steering the deadly helm.
