AP Demolishes the Obama Presidency in One Brutal Piece




Kyle Becker
On June 10, 2013

Let me be clear: This isn’t just navel-gazing. This eyeing the whole kit-n-kaboodle like a Kate Upton photo spread. If you’re a Democrat, you might want to hold your hand over your child’s eyes.

This is from Liz Sidotti of the Associated Press (that’s right — the AP):

“As a candidate, Barack Obama vowed to bring a different, better kind of leadership to the dysfunctional capital. He’d make government more efficient, accountable and transparent. He’d rise above the “small-ball” nature of doing business. And he’d work with Republicans to break Washington paralysis.

You can trust me, Obama said back in 2008. And — for a while, at least — a good piece of the country did.

But with big promises often come big failures — and the potential for big hits to the one thing that can make or break a presidency: credibility.

A series of mounting controversies is exposing both the risks of political promise-making and the limits of national-level governing while undercutting the core assurance Obama made from the outset: that he and his administration would behave differently.

The latest: the government’s acknowledgement that, in a holdover from the Bush administration and with a bipartisan Congress’ approval and a secret court’s authorization, it was siphoning the phone records of millions of American citizens in a massive data-collection effort officials say was meant to protect the nation from terrorism. This came after the disclosure that the government was snooping on journalists.

Also, the IRS’ improper targeting of conservative groups for extra scrutiny as they sought tax-exempt status has spiraled into a wholesale examination of the agency, including the finding that it spent $49 million in taxpayer money on 225 employee conferences over the past three years.

At the same time, Obama’s immigration reform agenda is hardly a sure thing on Capitol Hill, and debate starting this week on the Senate floor is certain to show deep divisions over it. Gun control legislation is all but dead. And he’s barely speaking to Republicans who control the House, much less working with them on a top priority: tax reform.

Even Democrats are warning that more angst may be ahead as the government steps up its efforts to implement Obama’s extraordinarily expensive, deeply unpopular health care law.”

And lets not forget the voter registration scandal tied to ACORN. Ironic that they used a non-profit organization to their benefit and then targeted those not conforming to his policies. There's also the insider trading scandal with politicians including Pelosi. The Benghazi cover-up. Are the guberment's fleet of vehichles GM's?

Hope & Change promised from a man with questionable associations and background from the beginning. What did you expect… Peter Pan to take us to Nevereverland??
