Obama Rewards His Cronies

There's a saying I heard long ago that "only in Hollywood or in government, can you fail upwards." This is sadly true as that many people who screw up and fail in their job somehow get rewarded and move up the food chain. Unlike in the real world, where failure usually means that you lose your job, failing in government is fine as long as you know the right people. Case in point is how President Obama has rewarded those loyal to him despite failing the American people horrendously.

The latest slap in the face to Americans is the appointment of former UN ambassador Susan Rice getting promoted to Obama's national security advisor. Rice's appointment serves two purposes: first is that she loyally trotted out the administration's lies that the Benghazi attack wasn't a terrorist attack, but rather a spontaneous demonstration in response to a YouTube video. The second reason is that Obama wants to give a big middle finger to the Republicans as they forced her to pull out of the Secretary of State consideration. While Obama called Susan Rice "a tireless advocate" and "passionate and pragmatic," he means that she willingly discards truth to the American people in order to serve his imperial presidency.

Another case in point of Obama rewarding his minions is Sarah Hall Ingram, the notorious head of the IRS tax-exempt office that purposefully targeted conservative groups. Her reward for abusing the system and harassing innocent American citizens? She got bonuses totaling $103,000 and got promoted to overseeing the implementation of Obamacare. She should be in jail, but so far she hasn't ratted out the White House so she's sitting pretty.

Our last example of Obama rewarding his loyal ideologues is Samantha Power. This long time Obama friend has been picked to be the next US ambassador to the UN. Her qualifications are golden in the progressive socialist eyes of Obama. Power has a loathing for America and says that we need a "historical reckoning" and "instituting a doctrine of the mea culpa would enhance our credibility by showing that American decision-makers do not endorse the sins of their predecessors." She has also advocated that the US intervene militarily in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and is anti-Israel. Powers is also married to Cass Sunstein, Obama's former regulatory czar who attempted to rewrite the fabric of America in order to espouse the nanny state (benevolent of course as we simple children are incapable of making decisions of our own).

While politics has always been a sordid affair, the Obama administration is rewriting the book on how to be dirty. Lying to the American people, loathing our culture, turning our back on our allies, harassing citizens exercising their Constitutional rights, and striving to turn America into a socialist hell-hole isn't something to be ashamed of. No! Doing such actions is showing that you're in the running for Employee of the Month in the Obama administration. Physics have been rewritten to allow crap to roll uphill.

How much longer will we continue to allow Obama and his Obama-style liars and deniers to wreck what has been the single greatest country this earth has ever seen?

How much longer are we going to hide behind our jobs and paying out taxes as the reason we can’t fight to save our country?

IMO, you should all re-read “Atlas Shrugged” and see what Obama’s America looks like. The only difference is that there is no Galt’s Gulch and most of the millionaires that went there in Rand’s story, support Obama in the real world.

Jason Furman was also rewarded...Furman met with George Kaiser regarding the Solyndra loan...no further info at this time but it would appear he advised Obama to give Kaiser the loan. Furman’s mother and Global Green USA owners (Scott Seydel) wife Patricia Mitchell (was CEO of PBS) are buddies and on the Georgetown Afghan Womens Council together. DOn’t have time to research further but there’s something fishy. Global Green USA is the American affiliate of the International Green Cross of which Gorbachev’ is the founder.

Rewarding failure is the way to keep the culprit quiet about the failure and your involvement in it. If you fire someone for a failure, they'll write a book about it and go on the talk show circuit, making you look bad. This way, all the dirty laundry is kept within "The Family".

I agree with what everyone has posted. This is the most corrupt administration ever and we have to hold our elected officials accountable. This means cleaning house and getting rid of the fake conservatives. We actually do have power, but Obama and the progressives are doing everything to convince us that we don’t have any. They are totally afraid of us acting, which is why they’ve tried to destroy the tea party. Sadly, it’s up to the public to fix the problem, but so many people choose to be uninformed or just don’t care enough as long as the bread and circuses are still going.
