I AM NOT A CROOK!

Listening to all the talking heads stepping forward to try and defray the damage of these scandals by stating or implying that the President knew nothing has me thinking. What if they are telling the truth? What if he (Obama) really knew nothing of the problems throughout the system because his people kept it from him? Let's play what if (or connect the dots, whichever you prefer). 

All the scandals that have come to light were all begun before the election. One by one they are atrocious misguided abuses of power, but together...when you place all these together, they appear on their face to be carefully planned election planning. That's right I said it. Maybe Obama didn't know what was going on, but the people that wanted to keep power by keeping him in office did. All of the issues that we are currently seeing happened prior to the election. I believe this was a directed assault on groups that opposed Obama's reelection bid. How so you may ask? The IRS targeting 'Patriotic' groups may not have looked bad, but it definitely hampered coordination of opposition during the election cycle. The AP phone record scandal on it's face isn't bad, but behind the scenes they were seeing who a FOX reporter was talking to right down to his parent's phone calls. Can you see a coordination effort on their part yet? How about Benghazi, Obama went to sleep while people were being killed...someone had to have told him "There's nothing to see here, goodnight Mr. President", thus 'insulating' him from the issue. Plausible Deniability. That's obviously what they were aiming for, but I think they misapplied that directive and underestimated the scope.

One by one they are an affront to the People Of The United States, together it is a pattern of deception. All committed on Barack Obama's watch. Plausible Deniability does not apply to a pattern of deceit. He is supposed to be smart enough to lead us and choose people loyal to his lead, not loyal to another that seeks to keep him from being hurt politically. This is a clear example of dereliction of duty. He has allowed the people close to him to run the aspects of the government and they failed. Take some personal responsibility for your charges Mr. President! These are the men and woman you entrusted with the full power of the Presidency, therefore you are just as much at fault as if it was yourself. If this pattern of deceit was specifically used to affect the election it trumps Nixon's follies and we all know what happened to Nixon.

My biggest regret for our nation is that these crooks cost our future citizens $7 Trillion and counting. I wonder if Obama would use that line? "I am not a crook!" Nov. 18, 1973 Richard Nixon to Washington Post editors. Maybe so Mr. President, maybe your not a crook, but the people you've chosen to surround you and do your business are crooks. That makes you a crook by association. Somehow you conveyed to those people that their actions were warranted and directed by YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. You are as guilty as those that acted in your behalf, on your behalf. The truth will eventually come to light. Your Presidency is a failure and will go down in history as a pock mark on our great country.

That's my two cents, spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person.

Who is Lois Lerner Protecting?

Lois Lerner, head of the IRS division that is charged with non-profit exemptions, intends to plead the Fifth Amendment when she appears before congress. This woman was entrusted with protecting the public trust through UNBIASED scrutiny of applicants and she failed. Her pleading the Fifth in this case illustrates her fear that the actions perpetrated by her department could, in fact, be a criminal matter. In the least it could be an attempt to cover the President himself. Lois Lerner's political affiliations are no secret, her husband's law firm held an event for voter registration in support of Obama's campaign. If she has no intent of cooperating with investigators and divulging the person pulling her strings, then she should be terminated immediately. Besides, anyone that is charged with working within the IRS, the largest ACCOUNTING service in the United States, should at least be good at math.



This case should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Obama has proven that he has a cult-like following among his followers and this proves the extent of which they will go to support him. If Obama wants to save face then he should ferret out and FIRE every person involved in any scandal involving government employees. Government employees should not be 'sympathetic' to a specific cause or political affiliation. All actions by government employees should be performed by the letter of the law and without bias. Any infraction, no matter how small, should be dealt with by IMMEDIATE dismissal from position without compensation. This would ensure that every employee would do the job they are charged with and not just try to please the boss by steering his course. Political affiliation should not be a factor in the day to day goings on in governmental agencies. This administration has raised the public awareness as to the actual reality that they work to OBTAIN AND RETAIN POWER AND THE WIELD THAT POWER LIKE A SWORD AGAINST THE PEOPLE THEY ARE SWORN TO PROTECT.

We can not as a free nation tolerate this level of governmental indiscretion and intrusion. As I outlined in the last post this is a rare opportunity to make fundamental changes to our federal system. It was never intended to be all things to all people or even have a hand in all things for all people. The men who drafted our Constitution and Bill of Rights envisioned a country that was run BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE. The people in power have seen fit to wrest that power from the people bit by bit. It's time to take it back.

This blog finds a handful of people in hopes that it will open a few eyes. When I'm dead and gone everything I have will be someone else's. I don't really want to be part of the legacy this government has been building for the past 9 years. A debt that will burden generations to come, rules that are mandatory to the citizens and optional to the government and liberties that are modified to suit the ruling class. Some of the people I discuss politics with claim that these changes will build a better country. History shows that the direction we are going in has fueled the demise of many great empires. The country we are allowing them to build is a shadow of it's glory.

That's my two cents, spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person.
