President Declares Scandals “Phony” and “a Distraction”
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 27 July 2013 | John Semmens

Posted on 07/28/2013 9:25:56 AM PDT by John Semmens

In a bid to change the national narrative, President Obama slammed ongoing investigations into Administration actions as “phony” and “a distraction from the real issues Americans care about.”

Incidents being investigated include the attack in Benghazi that killed the US Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans, the IRS abuse of political opponents, and the extensive spying on US citizens by the NSA.

“The tragedy in Benghazi was heart rending,” Obama acknowledged. “But no matter what we do now we can’t bring those people back to life. Stirring things up, trying to figure out who to blame diverts us from moving forward toward more productive uses of our time.”

“The punishment of those low-level employees at the IRS who may have exceeded their authority is something that will be handled administratively,” the President reassured. “Those hoping to trace their missteps back to me will be sorely disappointed. I gave no explicit orders for any IRS employees to harass my political enemies. I can’t be held responsible for any transgressions they may have committed out of excessive zeal and loyalty.”

“Finally, I would think that the House’s recent rejection of Congressman Amash’s attempt to rein-in the NSA is proof that, at the very least, this so-called scandal is one joined by a majority of both Parties,” the President maintained. “Mature adults recognize that privacy is a luxury we can no longer afford. Electronic communications are going to be intercepted by somebody. Isn’t it better that the Government have access so we can help protect people from malevolent forces?”

The key issue from which our attention is being diverted is, according to the President, the significant progress the economy is making under his leadership. “We have restrained the unfettered greed of those who in their quest for profit would force larger and larger numbers of Americans into the workforce,” the President boasted. “At the same time, the Government is providing more people with disability benefits and food stamps than ever before. We’re well on our way to severing the link between effort and reward that has enslaved humankind since the beginning of time. Freedom from toil has been achieved by more Americans than ever before.”

The president brushed aside arguments that his vision of a leisure society is unrealistic. “I converse with reporters on this topic all the time,” Obama offered. “They tell me my ideas are great. And off-the-record, most Republicans tell me the same thing. They’re just afraid to agree with me publicly out of fear that misguided GOP voters won’t understand the wisdom of my policies and will oust them in a primary election.”

“We have restrained the unfettered greed of those who in their quest for profit would force larger and larger numbers of Americans into the workforce,” the President boasted.

LOL! I can honestly see him making this boast (in private) to the Sharpton and Jackson followers in his audience.

Then going only slightly further and expressing his opinion (Executive Directive) that forcing blacks to have to 'work', especially in some job that actually makes them have to sweat like their Slave Ancestors were forced to do by the Evil White Race (and "White Hispanics") is RACIST.

Of course you know that all his supporters and elite liberal media suckups will immediately agree without hesitation, lest they be labeled Racist, or even worse: Uncle Toms, with the result that if they disagree they will like George Zimmerman be forced into hiding for the rest of their lives.

Most liberals are delusional. The only ones who aren’t are in it for power.
