Ex-Obama Spox Earnest Blames Republicans for Obama Inaction on Russian Meddling
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/26/2017 6:13:41 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

In a transparent attempt at blame-shifting, former Obama spokesman Josh Earnest has tried to place responsibility for President Obama’s failure to respond effectively to Russian meddling in the election . . . on Republicans.

It’s been reported that Obama was paralyzed into inaction by fears of seeming to help Hillary during the campaign. Appearing on today’s Morning Joe, Earnest said:

“The first time, [McConnell] didn’t have time to schedule time to talk about it. This is something that Republicans did not take seriously, and that did hamstring our efforts to respond to this as effectively as we would have liked.”

If the federal govt is involved, you can be sure the parasites are getting a salary.

Well, that sounds all fine and good, but you're not living up to your screen name, Realist. These ideas are not realistic.

I have always voted by absentee ballot. I haven't been to an actual voting booth since I voted when I was right out of college. Military bases as polling stations? Do you really want millions of civilians traipsing onto military bases for what reason exactly? Military bases aren't designed as polling stations. And what about people who live where there are no military bases or they are hundreds of miles away?

Results from the polls passed over the phones to some clearing house? All phones today are digital, meaning they operate like a computer. Easily hacked.

Make sure the "warnings" about voter fraud are written in big red crayola, so people take it seriously.

And the biggest problem I see is how do you expect to get these ideas from your mind into actual law? Seems like stretch by anyone's imagination.

I'm just sayin'....

Best to hammer Rice like this:

Unless Susan Rice ansers questions as to her handling of the safety and security of Amerians, her job should be in jeopardy.

===============================================

As of March 2017, Susan Rice (Obama's hand-picked Ntl Security Advisor) has begun a job as a Distinguished Visiting Research Fellow in the “American University’s School of International Service.”....

During her residency at A/U, Rice will work primarily on her next book and mentor SIS students on careers in national security.

A/U defines Susan Rice's position with Obama thusly: ”She provided the President with daily national security briefings and was ‘responsible for’ coordinating the formulation and implementation of ‘all aspects’ of the Administration’s foreign and national security policy, intelligence, and military efforts.

American University’s School of International Service
4400 Massachusetts Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20016
Phone: 202-885-1000

=================================================

CONTACT CONGRESS: Capitol Switchboard 1-866-220-0044
Talking Points: sever all federal funds to this institution while Susan Rice is employed there.

Well, the realism doesn’t work in the area of politics. I’m just throwing some ideas out there. Something has to change and that is for sure if we want an honest election, although truth is, if voting could change anything, they would make it illegal.

I was responding mostly tongue-in-cheek to your ideas.

Seriously, to get things to change, politicians would have to agree to any changes and then pass laws so they could be enforced. As divided and partisan as this country is right now, I don't see that happening.

The only two things we really need are voter ID's and that purple ink on the finger, like the Iraqis used.

Voter ID would keep the game honest up front, before someone would be allowed to vote.

The inked finger would stop people from voting multiple times after the fact.

And he played golf a lot and went on expensive vacations at taxpayer expense, meaning they were paid for by the people who didn’t vote for him.

Well if we’re listing the Community Organizer’s accomplishments...

Obama:

Fundamentally undermined the military and wreaked havoc on troops’ morale.

Ruined healthcare.

Jacked the national debt into the stratosphere.

Inflamed racist enmity to levels unseen in many decades.

Engineered chaos in the ME.

Tricked an entire country into believing he was born in HI.

I’m sure I’m leaving some out.
