They say that truth is stranger than fiction, and
nothing proves that better than the goings on that have surrounded our current
president for the past eight years.
Barry “Almighty” and his many, and very devoted, mouthpieces have embarked upon what can only be described as being a rather bizarre scheme to
hypnotize the American people into forgetting the many scandals that have
occurred during his presidency. They seem to think that intoning “this
administration hasn’t had a scandal” over and over again will make history
disappear. A list of what most people would
consider scandals that took place during Barry tenure would include, but not be
limited to, the following, which is but a very short list of just some of the
scandals Team Obama thinks it can make America forget:
The
great “stimulus” heist: Team Obama seems to think nobody
will remember how he grabbed almost a Trillion dollars for “stimulus” spending,
created virtually zero private-sector jobs with it, allowed a great deal of the
money to vanish virtually into thin air, and spent the rest of his presidency
complaining that he needed hundreds of Billions more to repair roads and
bridges. Vast sums of taxpayer money
were wasted on foolish projects that came close to the Keynesian economic
satire of hiring some people to dig holes, and others to fill them in. Americans
ended up footing the bill for what was nothing more than an army of government
jobs, and a lavish network of slush funds for the Democrat Party and its union
allies. It’s one of the worst government-spending scandals in our history.
Operation
Fast and Furious: Team Obama also seems to think that any
given example of abuse or ineptitude by their man stopped being a “scandal” the
moment it seemed clear he wouldn’t be impeached over it. Operation Fast and Furious, Barry’s rather insane
program to use American gun dealers and straw purchasers to arm Mexican drug
lords, is a scandal with a huge body count, prominently including Border Patrol
Agent Brian Terry and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Jamie Zapata,
plus hundreds of Mexican citizens. Agent
Terry’s family certainly thinks it qualifies as a scandal.
However, the more sinister take on Fast and Furious is
that Barry wanted to create gun crimes in Mexico so they could complain about
lax regulations on American gun sales for the purposes of creating a narrative
that they could use in America to try and thwart our Second Amendment
constitutional rights.
ObamaCare:
Everything about ObamaCare is a scandal, from Barry’s incessant lies about keeping
your old plan if you liked it to Nancy Pelosi saying, “we need to pass it to
find out what’s in it.” ObamaCare
continues to be a scam, pure and simple – sold on false pretenses by people who
knew it wasn’t going to work the way they promised. It doesn’t feel right to
dismiss it as a “failed” scheme when so much of the failure was intentional. The bill was so sloppily crafted that
Democrats were basically signing blank sheets of paper when they rushed it
through Congress in a foul-smelling cloud of back-room deals.
The Supreme Court rewrote ObamaCare on the fly twice
to keep it alive, which is a scandal in and of itself. Barry delayed and rewrote the law so often it
was impossible to keep track of the changes, cutting Congress out of the loop
completely. (Actually, someone did keep careful track of them, and the tally
was up to 70 distinct changes by January 2016.)
The
IRS scandal: The selective targeting of conservative
groups by a politicized Internal Revenue Service was a scandal grenade
Democrats and their media pals somehow managed to smother, even though the
story began with the IRS admitting wrongdoing.
Democrats suffocated the scandal by acting like
circus clowns during congressional hearings, but at no point were the actual
facts of the case truly obscured: yes, pro-life and Tea Party groups were
deliberately targeted for extra scrutiny, their tax exemption applications
outrageously delayed until after the 2012 election without actually being
refused. If anything remotely comparable
had been done to, say, environmentalist and minority activist groups by the IRS
under a Republican administration, the results would have been apocalyptic.
There’s also no question about the facts of the
follow-up scandal, in which IRS officials brazenly lied about having backups of
relevant computer data. The American people were expected to believe that
multiple state-of-the-art hard drives failed, and were instantly shredded
instead of being subjected to data recovery procedures. Luckily for the
politicized IRS, the Justice Department was hyper-politicized under Barry too,
so no charges were filed, and scandal kingpin Lois Lerner got to enjoy her
taxpayer-funded retirement after taking the Fifth to thwart lawful
congressional investigation.
Benghazi:
This is the clearest example of Barry and his supporters thinking all of his
pre-2012 scandals ceased to exist the moment he won re-election. Benghazi has
been investigated extensively, and argued about passionately, since the night
of September 11, 2012. Nothing can change the absolute fact that Barry’s story
for the first few weeks after the attack was false, and they knew it was false.
They spun a phony story to buy themselves just enough time to make it through
the presidential election campaign, and it worked.
