The Obama administration’s scandals are numerous, yet Obama and his media are wont to say that they are “phony scandals” that the Republican Party like to chase. But not in our wildest dreams could we have imagined the magnitude of these “phony scandals.” The numbers themselves suggest something less than the stellar transparency promised, and quite possibly more towards the corruption that he promised to eradicate.
In the beginning of his presidency everything was President George Bush‘s fault. Which brings us to Fast and Furious, and the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in December 2010. The ATF lost track of hundreds of firearms that were “walked” across the border and into the hands of Mexican drug cartels, theoretically so they could track the cartels. They blamed the Bush administration because this started during his presidency. The only difference is, when Bush and his people were in charge, they actually put tracking devices in the weapons. The Obama team didn’t. Those weapons are still out there, killing people. Where, is anybody’s guess.
Eric Holder perjured himself when he told Congress in 2011 that he had just recently heard of Fast and Furious. There was clear evidence to the contrary. He should have resigned.
James Rosen, a Fox News Reporter was accused by the Justice Department of being a criminal-co-conspirator. His phones and email accounts were monitored.
Eric Holder perjured himself again when he said he had no knowledge of any “potential prosecution” of a journalist, when in fact he signed the paperwork that termed Rosen a criminal. He should have resigned.
The New Black Panthers voter intimidation case. The judgment in favor of the government was then refused by the government. The New Black Panthers got a pat on the back and a “we’ll see you the next election cycle.” Eric Holder should have resigned.
Solyndra, the green energy debacle that cost taxpayers $535 million. Obama told Solyndra to delay its bankruptcy and layoff notices until after the 2010 election. Obama also did a fundraising stunt through the area and made a campaign stop there.
Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel asked Bill Clinton to use his influence with Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA), to step aside in his bid against Arlen Specter (D- PA). We will give you a prominent job inside the White House if you do this little favor for us. Illegal.
The Pigford Scandal. This is big and wildly under-reported. A lawsuit brought about in 1997 by African-American farmers unfairly denied loans by the USDA has blossomed into minorities living in apartments in New York receiving payment of $50K for the very thought of becoming of farmer. The Justice Department oversees this program.
The General Services Agency goes wild in Las Vegas! A training course with a clown, a mind reader, and a taxpayer bill of $823K. They had another training course planned for the following month in Arizona that was promptly canceled.
Lisa Jackson former EPA chief had a secondary email account, Richard Windsor, which she used for personal and public business. Richard Windsor even received an employee award from the EPA, despite the fact that “he” wasn’t a real person. She resigned, but her actions are still under investigation.
Vice President Biden, crazy uncle Joe, who put a reporter in a closet. Reporter Scott Powers says Biden’s staff kept him confined in a closet.
The Justice Department’s watching of the Associated Press. The AP says;
The news organization calls the move an unprecedented intrusion by the government.
Benghazi. The administration failed on so many levels in Benghazi that resulted in the deaths of Ambassador Stevens, Smith, Woods and Doherty. Why was Ambassador Stevens there in Benghazi, why was he there without adequate protection, why weren’t the protection details given diplomatic immunity, why was the “don’t go” order given once the conflict began, when there was clearly enough time and manpower to get there, who gave the order to change the talking points to a “Internet video” rather than a terrorist attack, and where was Obama on the night of the attack?
Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the Benghazi patsy that went to jail for making the video that Obama and Hillary Clinton so proudly blamed for the Benghazi attack.
Sharyl Attkisson, while a reporter at CBS and doggedly reporting on Benghazi had her computer hacked. It had been strongly suggested that it was the Justice Department via the NSA.
The National Security Agency has been watching you, listening to you, knows what you had for breakfast and what your golf score is, and if you have called, emailed, tweeted, Instagramed, or Facebooked with a known or unknown likely threat.
The Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. I suppose I should just list Obama lies here. You can keep your family doctor. Premiums will be lowered by $2500. If you like your current healthcare plan, you can keep your current healthcare plan. It’s just like shopping at Amazon.
Former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius asked health industry executives for large financial donations to help with the implementation of ObamaCare. Illegal or unethical?
The VA. The Department of Veterans Affairs, back in 2011, held a couple of conferences at Disney World at a cost of $6.1 million. Meanwhile, there were waiting lists for appointments that were never made because our brave veterans died waiting on those lists to get an appointment. In total, the VA gives out $400 million in bonuses per year.
The Internal Revenue Service targeted conservative groups seeking non-profit status. The ensuing cover-up has now evolved from vanishing emails, to hard drives crashing, to a computer server for 6 IRS employees having been destroyed. Denying Constitutional rights, abuse of power, obstructing justice, just to name a few. What are they trying to hide? Who are they protecting?
Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood. Egyptians were critical of Obamas involvement and support of Morsi and the MB and asked him to quit interfering.
Libya, an illegal war for which Obama neglected to get congressional approval, as required by the War Powers Act of 1973.
Syria, Bashar Al- Assad the president of Syria used chemical weapons on his people, killing over 1,400. Obama told him not to, and drew a red line, a red line that kept moving until Putin took the reins.
The NSA spied on Angela Merkel, Germany’s Chancellor.
A nuclear deal with Iran, which could prove fatal to Israel.
Chuck Hagel announces our Army would be cut to numbers not seen since 1930’s. With the release of the Taliban 5, ISIS, and Putin’s desire to expand Russia back to the Soviet borders. Now is not the time to dismantle our military.
Russia seized Crimea and is moving towards taking all of Ukraine. Obama tells Putin he should not do that. (See Syria.)
Obama loses Iraq to Al Qaeda, as ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) takes town after town with mass executions of Shiites. Obama is taking his time deciding what to do. Meanwhile, Shiites are being murdered. Obama may take this opportunity to partner with Iran. Just let that sink in for a moment.
Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor traded for the Taliban 5. And the brave men who served with him who came forward to tell the truth about the night he deserted and were then called psychopaths by the Obama administration.
The flood of illegal immigrants – particularly children – crossing into our southern border is at a crisis level. Obama has invited these poor souls into our country only to be harbored at the border. At the current pace, the numbers could reach 90,000 over the course of the year. Obama’s Cloward-Piven Strategy on the Southern Border.
I’ve got a phone and a pen. He used to say he wasn’t a dictator and wouldn’t act unilaterally. Executive orders.
And to top it all off, the president says he heard about these things on the news.
Where? On the 19th hole, or in the clubhouse after a nice round of golf? Or was it whilst perusing the web looking for pictures of yourself after one of your many fundraisers, and you just happened upon a news article? No, you are clueless because you aren’t very smart, but you are right in the thick of things. I don’t know what is worse, your domestic policy, or your foreign policy. Either way, it is clear that you make decisions on both fronts as a campaign strategist. Campaign strategy does not work with heads of state. They will take you for a fool. Actually, they already have. Campaign strategy does not work for domestic policy either. Remember those shovel ready jobs to pass your stimulus? We’re still waiting.
If that list gets any longer, a topical index will be needed.
The list is already getting longer, VALman, I’m getting suggestions for the next list, Biden outing Seal Team 6, Cash for clunkers, SWAT raid of Gibson guitar.
