The Mask Is Ripped Off of 'Hope and Change'
National Review ^ | 5/14/2013 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 05/14/2013 7:09:49 AM PDT by Servant of the Cross

Today’s Morning Jolt is jam-packed, as it is a special ALL-SCANDAL edition!

SCANDAL ONE: Dear Media: Obama’s Indignant Benghazi Response Revealed a Lot Yesterday!

Dear friends in the media.

Come on.

I mean, come on.

You and I know what’s going with the Benghazi thing. Let me share something that I first put into play during the “was Anthony Weiner’s Twitter account hacked” debate, but that comes from watching the Lewinsky scandal, the where-did –Mark-Sanford-go scandal, the why-is-David-Wu-dressed-in-a-tiger-suit scandal, and a wide variety of wrongdoing committed by politicians:

When there is evidence of scandalous or bizarre behavior on the part of a political figure, and no reasonable explanation is revealed within 24 to 48 hours, then the truth is probably as bad as everyone suspects.

Nobody withholds exculpatory information. Nobody who’s been accused of something wrong waits for “just the right moment” to unveil information that proves the charge baseless. (snip)

SCANDAL TWO: Hey, Why Does the IRS Have to Tell the Truth to Congress, Anyway? (snip)

SCANDAL THREE: Of Course Eric Holder Is Allowed to Secretly Eavesdrop on Journalists!(snip)

You “Hope and Change” true believers were a bunch of chumps.

I disagree with your saying the MSM went to sleep.

What they did was and IS deliberate.

They were not asleep they were and are actively engaged in turning this country into a socialist State.

The old idea Americans had of earning a living has completely gone by the wayside. The new idea is that everyone deserves a living whether they work for it or not.

If I earn a living and have a few pennies left over, those pennies are not mine, they belong to the State to share with those who will not work.

If I pay a premium to have good health care I am not being fair to those who will not or cannot pay, so I have to pay for their health care too.
I know many people believe that health care is a right.
It is not any more than Food is a right, or an Obama phone is a right.

I predict the press acts indignant. I predict we will see a lot of tsk-tsk-ing by pundits from both sides.

I predict the MSM will say it’s done its job by talking about these “problems” for the Obama administration.

I predict no further action takes place and a month or two from now we are all sitting around saying, “How does he keep getting away with this crap?”

If a single one of these had occurred under a Republican administration, they would have already resigned in disgrace .... as would have been demanded by the 24/7 OUTRAGE of the DNC-run media.

The current press 'outrage'? It seems a lot of kabuki theatre to me. They're just play acting. No one is demanding answers from their Dear Leader.

Ceasar Obama has crossed the Rubicon. What are we going to do about it?
