Mr. President, when it rains it pours, but most Americans hold their own umbrellas. Today in the Rose Garden you dismissed the idea of a Special Counsel to investigate the IRS scandal. With that, your galling political hubris shined bright in the midst of todays dark clouds.
Mr. President, how can we trust your Justice Department to conduct an independent investigation when there is a systemic violation of the Hatch Act throughout your administration?
Surely you are aware that the Hatch Act prevents certain federal employees from engaging in political activity. Specifically, its illegal for these federal employees to engage in action in support of or in opposition to a political party, a candidate for partisan political office, or a partisan political group.
Yet that is exactly whats happened within the IRS, the Justice Department, and in the Benghazi cover-up. This scandalous hat trick is on your watch. It is not believable that you knew nothing about Obama administration actions in dealing with these scandals. And in regards to Benghazi, when you should have taken appropriate action to save American lives for instance by calling in the Marines you were AWOL. Just weeks before the election your team scrubbed the Benghazi talking points in 12 different versions, lied to the American people about some YouTube video being to blame for the deaths of brave Americans who put our country first, and you prove Michael Barone right when he writes, What actually happened in Benghazi was out of sync with the Obama campaign line. Thats why you all did what you did. Pure raw politics were at play during a horrific time of loss.
For more evidence of Hatch Act violations right under your nose, simply consider DOJs massive and unprecedented intrusion into the free press. Do you think they picked up some political talk when tapping the phones in the House press gallery?
Your team is out of control. Those who cannot remember the past and learn from it are doomed to repeat it, and that is exactly what is happening. Look back exactly 40 years ago this week and apply that disheartening chapter of American history to the team youve chosen and lead today.
Some of us warned America; we cautioned voters in 2008 that a community organizer with no executive experience and no sense of accountability would be a very poor choice for the nations top management position.
Mr. President, you said today that you have complete confidence in the Attorney General. America doesnt. Eric Holder needs to appoint an unbiased Special Counsel to investigate the illegal political action of this administration. And then Eric Holder needs to resign.
Most Americans see ominous dark clouds looming beyond the White House Rose Garden, Mr. President. Theyll roll away only when light is shined on the Obama administrations antics, and America will only recover when you cease avoiding responsibility in this mission of yours to fundamentally transform America. For that to happen, the press had better learn from their experiences of being duped and provide a deserving public fairer, more intelligent coverage.
Speaking of coverage, glad you finally called in the Marines... shame it was just to hold your umbrella.
- Sarah Palin
Thanks KC_Lion.
BTW, the Marine holding the umbrella for Obama, in addition to looking awkward and unbecoming, also violated Marine regulations, if I heard correctly.
“What is the GOP prepared to do about it?”
They are willing to do NOTHING, they the Tea Party as much as the left does, and have known of this mess for quite some time now.
My guess is you left out the word "hate" from that sentence, as in "they HATE the Tea Party as much as the left does."
For most in the GOP Washington establishment, that's true, but there are a few Republicans who are exceptions to the rule.
According to Marine Corps regulation MCO P1020.34F of the Marine Corps Uniform Regulations chapter 3, a male Marine is not allowed to carry an umbrella while in uniform. There is no provision in the Marine Corps uniform regulation guidelines that allows a male Marine to carry an umbrella.

Exactly!
It sure is extra good..thanks for posting.
Once again Sarah has summed up this obamination like no one else I’ve heard.
Love it that she’s not intimidated and she tells the truth about what’s going on, and why.
Praying hard for the privilege of voting for her soon.
most disappointing when mrs. palin chooses the word ‘antics’ to describe
what’s going on with obama and his
minions.
get out your thesaurus and come up with something akin to the seriousness of the situation!
Thanks for the ping!
1. Make sure your umbrella fits the occasion

2. Be mindful not to block the view of fellow spectators

3. When with a senior companion, the younger person should hold the umbrella
4. Be careful not to let the wind flip your umbrella
5. Be mindful not to jab your closed umbrella at people. It is not a weapon. Im looking at you, Mr. KGB.
6. Be mindful of the size of your umbrella
Associated Press
7. Always hold an umbrella for a lady

Child, please
But Palin had someone hold her umbrella!!
A) See Rule #7
B) He wasnt a US Marine. Because Marines are Devil Dogs-Not Umbrella Holders
#BOOM
It is both Accurate and timely regarding proper umbrella etiquette!
