Watergate Times Three

The American Thinker ^ | Robert J Mack

You think Richard Nixon's presidency was the worst scandal ever? Well, so far, anyway. It all started with a tape holding a door open at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C., discovered by a security guard 39 years ago on June 17, 1972. That discovery started a sinister chapter in America's history, fueled by the fervent investigative work of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of The Washington Post and ending with the president, Richard M. Nixon, exiting the White House in disgrace on August 9, 1974.

A similar Watergate scandal could erupt for Barack Obama. The only difference is that there may be three of them.

The insane Solyndraloan, the LightSquared cronyism, and the Operation Fast and Furious gun-running debacle have all come into America's consciousness at the same time.

How could the government invest in a solar panel start-up that had no prospects for any kind of success, and to the tune of over 500 billion dollars? Why would a four-star Air Force general say that the White House tried to pressure him to change his testimony before the House Armed Services Strategic Forces Subcommittee to make it more favorable to a company tied to a large Democratic donor? Whatwere directors at the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, and the ATF thinking when they persuaded gun dealers to allow more than 2,000 firearms to get in the hands of drug lords in Mexico, resulting in over 200 deaths?

These are questions that demand answers.

I’d like to be optimistic in thinking we can restore the country, but something tells me your post is right on target.

The little people can't know the truth about JFK's brutal murder.

Have you figured out why his brother RFK, one of the most powerful men in the government and in charge of the vast investigative resources of the DOJ , didn't want the little people to know ? Could it be that it was just another chapter of the cover-up of whatever it was that had put the President's brother in the Attorney General's office in the first place? Like the stealing of a Presidential election with Mafia help?
