President Obama drowning in corruption scandals

LOS ANGELES, May 29, 2013 —President Obama is drowning in corruption scandals. Whether you believe he is an innocent victim, incompetent bungler or nefarious schemer, one thing is certain. These scandals will not disappear just because he and his supporters want them to. We asked the question in January,is President Obama corrupt?

“Solyndra, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the NLRB suing Boeing, and Lisa Jackson’s EPA emails are all serious scandals involving government corruption at the highest levels. At the minimum they show Obama to be ignorant or indifferent to what’s going on in his own administration.”

Those words appeared here only four months ago, and in retrospect they’re astonishing. The astonishment comes not from those listed powder kegs, but from the ones missing from the list. If Obama’s first term raised ethical concerns, the last four months suggest an administration deep in moral bankruptcy.

Nefarious schemer. We only know a fraction of the crap he has pulled. He and his wife were devout followers of a racist America-hating socialist reinvention of a church for 20 years. A person only does that by choice.

Posts like these just go to show what lengths the discredited right wing media will go to to attack our nation’s first black president. It doesn’t matter how many times these stories have been completely debunked, there will always be racist, big-business flat-earthers and birthers ready to believe. In the name of freedom, and of the highest American principles, including the right of a woman to CHOOSE when and when not to alleviate maladies inside her belly apparatus and therefore provide social justice to future generations, it is time we did away with this old white man’s doctrine, this so-called “constitution,” and move as a nation, together, without disagreement, without our altogether irritating and racist press, (I refer of course to the New York Times and Los Angeles Times, who have had it in for our Greatest President Ever from the beginning) toward a more just and progressive society. Drones might help, the targeting of enemies of the State by the IRS might help, but in the end all we can do is eliminate the threat of dissent. Freedom forever!

...and move as a nation, together, without disagreement...

Without the disagreement of anyone who matters, anyway. That's pretty good satire, actually.

Obama isn’t going anywhere. All of this will be history by the end of this week, next week at the latest. The media still loves this ass hole of a president, summers just around the corner and the college kids(supposedly his biggest supporters, outside of the MSM) couldn’t really care less right now about “President Cool’’. To them he’s like the friend you bought to the frat party but who got way too drunk too early, so you just stick them in a corner and party on, and worry about them later.

I got it from a Star Trek episode, imagining what some lady would think about me if she knew what I was thinking about her. Nothing too completely immoral, by the way, and only for a brief instant ;)

I was toying with the idea of being “Tondelayo Excaliber’’but I thought it was too pretentious.

Well, you did misspell “Excalibur”. It’s not bad, though. It leads one to ponder the meaning.

Great satire! I’ll bet the brain dead of the Left would not even realize you’re mocking them.

Maybe we’re making some progress. Lead story at AJC, $50M for IRS conferences.

You know, it’s scary to think that there are likely many on the left who would support what you wrote and be disappointed to know it was meant as satire.

He isn’t going to drown.
There are hundreds of lifeguards in the form of the MSM waiting to rescue him.
Dowse the funeral pyre. It ain’t gonna happen.

The last paragraph sums up what has been Obama’s goal all along,not by himself being skewered I will admit,but the same result.This is true because all this does not happen in a vacuum,our enemies are licking their lips.
