Obama and the Kingdom of the Concrete Skull

My friend Jane Woodworth looked over her newspaper, put down her coffee mug, and said , " Imagine being so down and out that you have to deter people from talking about the economy with the news that you are an accessory to murder." Nothing better summed up a week where the economy continued its tumble, the presidential approval rate continued its downward slide, and the President invoked executive privilege with respect to the government gun running operation which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people including our own border agent, Brian Terry, and perhaps an ICE agent of ours as well.

There was only one thing left for the failing president to do. Make a claim of executive privilege, make it late in the game, after months of his Attorney General Eric Holder's dissembling before Congress under oath, after repeated retractions of Holder statements which were proven false, a claim so weak that all it did was distract attention from the financial news and suggest to even the dimmest wit that the president himself was an accessory to murder. (Every respectable legal observer has announced the claim cannot be sustained. See, this, this and this.)

While Jane picked up the tab, my friend Surfer Doc handed me this brilliant piece by Matthew Continetti in the Washington Free Beacon, and the mystery of the preposterous presidential move was solved in my mind. You see, as soon as Jim Messina was named Obama's campaign manager he headed out to Hollywood where, as everyone knows the rich stars live. Very rich stars who one imagines have their fingers firmly on the pulse of what the ordinary voters believe and want: Stuff like free contraception, no actual energy just imaginary green stuff, open borders, gay marriage and warmer relations with leftist dictators...

From the article:

“As the great Iowahawk tweeted, it’s “Watergate with toe tags.”

Thanks for linking to the printer friendly version.

Another excellent piece by Clarice.

The Free Beacon article by Matthew Continetti really knocks it outta the park.

Excellent pieice by Continetti, thanks for the link.

I love it how he spells out the payback from Obama after those elite Hollywood turkeys bragged about not taking anything in returm for campaign contributions.

Obama has the pay to play game pat, probably as well as Murtha did and that’s saying a lot.

We have been asking friends and family if they know about the Fast and Furious debacle. No one seems to know about it a couple of them said, “the movie”? The only ones that are talking about it with us are our rural neighbors and friends that own guns.

Yes, it's criminal in my view that most of the MSM has ignored F&F and it has to be to protect Obama and his administration. CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson has reported on it but NBC and ABC have basically blacked it out from what I've read.

It's sad that the majority of people still get their news from the enemedia.
