Obama’s Scandals Stem from His Lawless Presidency
Posted 05/14/2013 07:05 PM ET
Last Friday, after the Associated Press learned about the Justice Department’s sweeping seizure of its phone records, AP CEO Gary Pruitt said “there can be no possible justification” for the action.
No doubt that’s true. But there also seems to be no possible justification for the many other scandals now swamping the Obama administration — from Benghazi, to the IRS scandal to the White House’s attempt to shake down health companies for ObamaCare money.
Except that they all stem from a common root — President Obama’s callous disregard for the rule of law.
When not grousing about “this big, messy, tough democracy,” or joking about having the IRS audit groups that don’t do his bidding, or talking about how “we’re gonna punish our enemies” (meaning his political opponents), Obama has repeatedly and casually flouted legal roadblocks whenever they got in the way of his agenda.
