The LightSquared scandal, illustrates Obama’s callousness toward this country and its people.
Correct.
Woodstein was peripheral to the factors that moved Watergate. The two reporters were tools in the hands of the movers, that's all.
1) There's no James McCord.
2) There's no Mark Felt.
3) There's no Sam Ervin.
4) There's (especially) no Howard Baker.
5) And, there's no Peter Rodino.
For reasons not yet entirely clear, a community of interest arose (or was disclosed) among certain Washington insiders who wanted Nixon gone. This community of interest included Republicans and Democrats, but it especially included CIA (McCord) and FBI (Felt) who understood that there was a permanent government which could not be dislodged or disrupted by the strange little man from Whittier.
I also believe that they wanted to avoid (and went to great lengths to avoid) a repeat of the events of 1963.
If and when the ruling class decides that they've had enough of the man who calls himself "Obama", I don't think they will use the Watergate model.
The RinoCracy I’m sure has hundreds IF NOT thousands of “Solyndras” ove the last 30-40 years. NOBODY in DC wants to go there.....and nobody will unless We the People rub their noses in it....
He is one disaster after another, I submit that Billions are going into his own pocket, with the Czars handling the purse strings.
He has so many working for him in those areas, that not one will spill the beans lest they all fall. But it only takes one to talk and point the way. Then of course you have to factor in some of the Rinos, who profited from O's schemes, they don't want to fall either.
Boy, you sure are bought into the idea that the GOP is an actual opposition party.
In 1973, even after being crushed in November 1972, the Democrats knew that, above all, destroying Nixon was job #1. They have always known what they were about.
The GOP organization and GOP elected officials have NEVER accepted, and do not now accept, the concept of opposition without limit.
All three combined don't amount to a popcorn fart compared to Clinton's Oil for Food program.
“It’s because the Wee Wee is an amoral ... Muslim ... psychotic ... narcissist ... locked in an marriage to a mad dog ... that is suffering from years of blowing cocaine and toking weed ... with an I.Q. roughly equal to room temperature ... no discernible job skills ... no work experience other than as a “community organizer” (whatever the hell that is) ... placed in a job that would be demanding for even the best and brightest.”
These are just a few of the positive traits that makes him so attractive to liberals, especially the MSM.
Exactly. The great zero may not win re-election, but absolutely nothing of consequence will happen to him or his sycophants.
Articles of impeachment were prepared against Nixon and Clinton for far lesser offenses. What’s the hold-up here?
They weren't "persuaded," they were forced under threat of the destruction of their livelihood.
They weren't "persuaded," they were forced under threat of the destruction of their livelihood.
Obviously the only person with enough power to "FORCE" this insanity into practice was the COMMUNITY ORGANIZER himself.
The obvious question, why no real action by the REPUBLICANS? The answer is quite simple. Clinton proved that impeachment is not an option and the TRAITORS know it.
Believe it or not, this is part of Obama's re-election strategy. At least half of the people in this country are stupid enough to vote for this clown again just on the sympathy vote alone.
Obama thinks he can kill with impunity, i.e. you ain't seen nothing yet.
Exactly!
Serious backlash if Impeachment is used. Race Card willbe played. Obama will go from incompetent to victim. Republicans will be portrayed by MSM in taking place in a ‘high tech lynching’ solely becasuse of Obama’s race. Will be exactly the position Obama wants to be in.
Instead, Republicans will raise the issues and show Americans all of the Obama dirt. Let the death by 1,000 cuts continue for this regime. Let Obama continue to take down his entire party.
Is it justice? No. But it’s politics. It’s the smart political play.
Help me on this. Do the three scandals have a common theme that can be politically hammered?
1. Solyndra: pork in exchange for political funds.
2. Fast and Furious: abuse of executive power to achieve political result (unpopular gun restrictions).
3. GPS: compromise of public interest in exchange for political funds.
It’s all about putting personal/party political power above the interests of the “polity”. Seizing and abusing power that should reside in the hands of the people.
Watergate was not a conspiracy to deprive American citizens of any of their rights. Fast & Furious was. No comparison again.
Fundraisers were more important, they did it anyway.
Fast ands Furious, takes the abuse of power to a level of costing lives.
Pattern of corruption and abuse of power, very dangerous times.
I know, I’m a dreamer .....
Where did the rest of the stimulus go? I think it was around $1.5 Trillion or so.
What happened to all the money that went to "phantom districts"? Congress was shelling out tens of $Millions to districts they made up off the top of their heads.
Aside from a few tens of thousands temporary, artificial jobs, where did all that money go? What roads and bridges were repaired, what buildings were built?
Dear Leader doesn't say, no one in Congress, no one in the media want to talk about any of that. But he wants more.
We thought the Clintons were grifters extraordinaire, but they were penny-ante shoplifters compared to this guy.
Nixon and Clinton’s articles of impeachment were not going to trigger a race war, because those two were not part of a “protected” minority class.
What do you think the CBC, NBP, and NAACP would do if Obama were impeached?
This is going to make the Rodney King LA riots look like a scuffle, and this Reginald Denny brings a gun to the brick fight.
This one was early in the administration, a sign of more to come. What is so alarming about this, as you pointed out, there was no out cry for an investigation. This is stealing, the DOJ said regarding torture investigation of the CIA. - No one is above the law. -
Both parties are complicit.
With the exception of the new Tea Party members, and a few others like DeMint, we need a total house cleaning in government.
