Lord Obama
pjmedia.com ^ | 5/26/2014 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 05/27/2014 8:07:32 AM PDT by rktman

If we were living in normal times, the following scandals and failures — without going into foreign policy — would have ruined a presidency to the point of reducing it to Nixon, Bush, or Truman poll ratings.

Think of the following: the Fast and Furious scandal, the VA mess, the tapping of the communications of the Associated Press reporters, the NSA monitoring, Benghazi in all of its manifestations, the serial lies about Obamacare, the failed stimuli, the chronic zero interest/print money policies, the serial high unemployment, the borrowing of $7 trillion to no stimulatory effect, the spiraling national debt, the customary violations of the Hatch Act by Obama cabinet officials, the alter ego/fake identity of EPA head Lisa Jackson, the sudden departure of Hilda Solis after receiving union freebies, the mendacity of Kathleen Sebelius, the strange atmospherics surrounding the Petraeus resignation, the customary presidential neglect of enforcing the laws from immigration statutes to his own health care rules, the presidential divisiveness (“punish our enemies,” “you didn’t build that,” Trayvon as the son that Obama never had, etc.), and on and on.

So why is there not much public reaction or media investigatory outrage?

As a Roman historian once said, "The average Roman citizen is more concerned with the stone in his sandal."

After the great Dr. Sowell, Victor Davis Hanson may be my favorite columnist. Good things still do come from California.

Because the Obama admin have a way of “getting even”.

Sick the IRS on people; including but not limited to .. their right to free speech, being audited umpteen times, putting people out of business .. etc., etc., etc.

When you have an atmosphere of retribution constantly dogging you - you learn to do exactly what is expected .. you shut up.

Or .. they use the old standby .. “you’re a racist”.

Aaaaah silence! .. that was the goal in the first place.

But .. I see and hear a growing din of discontent .. and November will tell the tale on how disgusted the people are regarding this admin.

From link :”1) His record support among minorities will not change since 70-90% of various hyphenated groups see the Obama tenure as long-overdue representation of their own interests — economic, ethnic, and symbolic. It does no good to cite rising unemployment rates among African-Americans or a deterioration in household income among Latinos. The point is that Obama feels their pain, even if his policies helped cause it. In this view, expecting blacks, to take one example, to defect from Obama would be as if right-wing rural Texans would have abandoned Bush in 2006, or the Malibu set would have given up on Clinton during Monicagate. In short — unlikely.”

Most of them will never blame Obama for anything.

To them every problem that comes up Obama obviously inherited and he only gets blamed for them because most Americans ~ 51% are inherently racist.

Also they think that Obama’s policies are the same ones that the GOP supported in the past but now they are against them because Obama is black.

According to the online survey of 1,002 African-Americans, when asked the question “Which of the following speaks for you most often?” 40 percent said that no one speaks for them, while 24 percent said the Reverend Al Sharpton of the National Action Network and MSNBC speaks for black people, and 11 percent said the Reverend Jesse Jackson of Rainbow PUSH.
Meanwhile, 9 percent of black respondents named Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D‐CA), 8 percent said NAACP President and CEO Ben Jealous speaks for them, and 5 percent mentioned Assistant Democratic Leader, Congressman James E. Clyburn (D‐SC). Marc H. Morial, President and CEO of the National Urban League, and former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele each received 2 percent.

The media is not just overwhelmingly hard left, but hard left with a chip on its shoulder that its own views are neither accepted by the majority nor usually implemented by government.

Pow, right between the eyes.

Obama gets away with murder because he's black; plain and simple.

In politics, being a member of a coddled race is like possessing an impenetrable force field; you can do anything, say anything, be caught red handed in one corrupt scandal after another, and the second anyone points a finger at you, yell 'racist!', your adversaries backpedal immediately, issuing apologies all the while, and you're safe once again.

You have to give the leftists credit for their color choice in puppets.

I agree with your post. But I also think his residency is ruined.
When he’s physically left office it will show as his ability to ruin your life will go with him. History will be tough the truth will be told

Well, one of the newest things to come out of the Benghazi investigation is the fact that people within our current government organizations (State; IRS) are being targeted (because they belong to a Tea Party group, or espouse their beliefs); and these people all have “security clearances”. The targeting comes by having the employees’ children taken from them by the local CPS office; and the mother has not been charged for anything.

How’s that for targeting your enemies ..??????

Here's some strangness:

http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/post?id=3160583%2C22

http://beforeitsnews.com/politics/2014/05/breaking-report-circulating-that-justice-john-roberts-signed-off-on-obamas-arrest-for-treason-2624510.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=feed

(Before It's News) There is some serious speculation that Chief Justice John Roberts has signed off on Interpol, which would mean that Obama is one step closer to being removed from office for multiple counts of treason.

Charges include infringements of the Second Amendment, and declaring war without consent of Congress, and some other serious violations of Obama’s Oath.

The leaked document claims that Obama is guilty of the following crimes:

Article 1, Sect. 1 1. Used Executive Privilege in regards to Fast & Furious gun running scandal. When Government misconduct is the concern Executive privilege is negated.
2. Issued 23 Executive Orders on gun control – infringement of the 2nd Amendment.
3. Executive Order bypassing Congress on immigration Violation Article 1 Section 1
4. NDAA – Section 1021. Due process Rights negated. Violation of 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Amendments.
5. Executive Order 13603 NDRP – Government can seize anything.
6. Executive Order 13524 – Gives INTERPOL jurisdiction on American soil beyond law enforcement agencies, including the FBI.
7. Executive Order 13636 Infrastructure Cyber security – Bypassing Congress Violations: Article 1 Section 1, Art. 4 sect. 4,
8. Signed into law the establishment of “NO Free Speech Zones” – noncompliance is a felony.
9. Attempt to tax political contributions Violations: 1st Amendment, Art.1 sect. 7

---------------- What if this is real?

They're possessed by "victimization". Even when they get political power, they cannot aspire any higher---victimization controls their lives. Witness this deconstruction of the twisted mind of an aggrieved Lib/Prog.

LIBERALS Cling to a Grievance Culture / FR Posted by Cincinatus' Wife It's their crutch and their club. They identify and segregate groups, then pit them against one another; it is easier than telling the truth. With each manufactured "crisis," government "helps" by taking power from the people. So it's, war on women, income inequity and wealth redistribution, race baiting, war on religion (except Islam), climate disruption alarmism , obamacare etc etc etc

Democrats Privately Calling Obama 'Detached,' 'Flat Footed,' 'Incompetent'
Weekly Standard / Daniel Halpern / FR Posted by Sub-Driver

CNN's John King reports that Democrats are privately calling President Obama "detached," "flat footed," and "incompetent." "Forget for a moment that Republican outrage," said King on his CNN show this morning. "More and more Democrats in key 2014 races are calling for the president to get a spine, they say, and fire his Veterans Affairs secretary. And what more and more Democrats are saying privately is scathing, calling the president and his team detached, flat footed, even incompetent.

"Maggie Haberman," said King turning to a panelist, "that's what strikes me, what democrats are saying privately in the wakes of the healthcare.gov problems, they see a president who doesn't want to take command, doesn't want to act fast. Raising the competence question. Some Democrats, who believe in government, [are saying] this White House doesn't appear to have its hand on the lever."

Haberman of Politico agreed, cited more examples, and added: "All of this adds up to somebody who just doesn't seem at all involved."

===========================================

Obama outing a CIA chief in his visit to troops in America-hating Afghanistan is certainly a corker. But this takes the cake for presidential incompetence. Boobamba gave this boob ntl security clearance.

Boobamba's campaign van driver attends WH Situation Room
meetings. Tommy Vietor is Hillary's top pick for Secretary of state.

===============================================

Course, Hillary's all-girl State Dept is right up there when talking incompetence. Musta been having a bad hair day when the girls couldn't name even one of Hillary's accomplishments.

Frankly, as much as I’d like to see Obama gone .. and America not have to endure his last 2 years .. there is no doubt in my mind that NOT ONE DEMOCRAT WILL EVER VOTE TO IMPEACH HIM.

So, I think the document is just wishful thinking.
