What Obama’s many messes really mean
NY Daily News ^ | 5-28-14 | S. E. Cupp

Posted on 05/28/2014 6:59:27 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

Another week, another scandal.

From Fast and Furious at the ATF to the Pigford fraud at the Department of Agriculture, the IRS’ political targeting to the State Department’s Benghazi mess, the healthcare.gov debacle at HHS to spying at the NSA and the DOJ, President Obama is running out of agencies and departments to defend in his two years left in office.

This White House has either had the worst luck in recent memory or it is responsible for breaches of public trust so vast, it’s no wonder public faith in our government is at a record low.

And now, we must add the scandal at the Department of Veterans Affairs — one so singularly sad, offensive and disappointing it almost feels wrong to put the callous deaths of at least 40 veterans who served our country in the same category as political tax targeting. Still, in some ways it is more of the pitiful same.

There are hearings that try to coax information out of high-level bureaucrats who never seem to know enough or to tell the entire truth. Desperate finger-pointing, that Republicans must somehow be to blame, from Obama loyalists. And endless delays and stall tactics to slow-walk or withhold key information until the public tires of the exercise.

The truth Democrats don’t want you to know is that these scandals are not about racism or Republicans or obstruction votes or even President Obama.

They are about the collapse of a big-government bureaucracy that consistently lets you down, but which the left depends on to keep your vote.

Obama’s many messes reflect a failure of liberalism, in my opinion. This is what you get when you put liberals in charge.

That and a crushing amount of debt that will be a burden on this country for many decades to come. Its simply unsustainable and is a ticking time bomb that will eventually turn into a financial earthquake for the nation.

I am waiting - perhaps in vain - for someone to dry gulch Jay Carney with non-obvious questions i.e. those he doesn’t get to see in advance and/or prepare an answer for.

For example, when Jay says ‘the president just read about it in the paper’ the question(s) should be:

-Jay, who is responsible for letting the president know about these important matters? They are obviously not up to the task. What will happen to them for their incompetence?

-Is it mere coincidence that all the things the president doesn’t know about are scandals and/or negative events? He seems well-versed in positives (such as they are).

-Does the president’s lack of knowledge about his administration’s activities extend to combat operations, CIA activities overseas, etc.?

-Is there a magical, statistically-remote-chance there is a 1:1 correspondence between the scandals known publicly and the president being surprised by them? In other words, are there more scandals he doesn’t know about yet or are there scandals he does know about that we don’t?

That the "messes" go back so far,
and have all helped Enemies of the American people
and have been so long meticulously ignored,
shows the utter, contemptible, treasonous
abdication of journalism and the EXEMPT Congress.

"Obama Obama shifts FBI from Counter Terrorism to Fraud"


"Victims of Cole bombing upset
"A top officer slammed Obama's decision to seek the withdrawal of charges against the 2000 suspected U.S.S. Cole ship bomber."


"Impeach Obama Says Sister of Cole Sailor Killed in Terror Attacks
"The sister of Seaman James McDaniels, a sailor killed in the terror attack on the U.S.S. Cole wants President Barack Hussein Obama impeached
over his decision to withdraw charges against the al Qaeda mastermind of the attack."


"Mother of USS Cole Sailor Declines Obama-meet, Says "I Voted for the Wrong Person"
"After Obama dropped the charges against the suspect in the bombing of the USS Cole,
he asked the families of the victims in that tragedy to meet with him.
One mother refused, and now says,"I voted for the wrong person."

What it means that being a Liberal black president is like the gold ticket. You can get away with anything because all you have to do is pull the race card and it all goes away.
This is what happens when you have a Media that bends over backwards for a POTUS and a voter bloc that consists of lay abouts and work shy people.

Eventually Obama will come to understand that a President is ultimately judged by results, not rhetoric or posture.

One sure thing that is predictable with Obama: if its bad for America, he’s for it.

Obama is anti-American and willing to let people die — or cause them to die — for his own self-aggrandizement. And the majority of the Democrat power structure is with him on this.

What they’d LIKE us to believe is these “many messes” mean Bush sure left Obama with quite a mess of messes... so much so that an automatic third term is necessary “for the good of the people.”
