What the Obama scandals teach us
Washington Post ^ | 5-20-2014 | Jennifer Rubin

Forget ideology for a moment. Whether you are liberal or conservative, the Obama presidency’s parade of miscues is jaw-dropping. In this administration we’ve had the Fast and Furious debacle, the murder of four Americans in Benghazi due to insufficient security, the Internal Revenue Service scandal, the bungled Obamacare rollout (not to mention the law’s other unintended consequences), and the Veterans Affairs disaster (made worse by the specific warnings given to the current administration in 2008 that the waiting time data was unreliable). President Obama speaks during a press conference. (Michael Reynolds/European Pressphoto Agency) President Obama speaks during a press conference to address the IRS scandal.

There have been few if any consequences for those directly involved in scandals, any one of which would rival the Bush administration’s handling of Katrina and collectively which reflect the most widespread failure of executive leadership since the Harding administration.

Affirmative Action president. He’s given a pass because of his (half) race.

MSM ignores the scandals. Dumbed down American public either doesn’t care or has been bought off with handouts.

They're not miscues, they're crimes. Apparently MS Rubin forgot to leave her liberalism at the door like we were supposed to leave our conservatism at the door.

Something I've wondered about for some time is why Holder wasn't charged with perjury? I mean, in order to get the sort of warrant issued against James Rosen, doesn't one have to give a federal judge a sworn affidavit?

Granted, to prosecute Holder for perjury, charges would have to be brought by Holder's agency, and Holder's employees would have to prosecute him.

Silly question.
