Tribune: 3 days ago - The 52-45 roll
call Tuesday by which the Senate blocked a bid to start debate on President
.... Senate looks to have deal to debate fast track.
Editor's notes: This editor opposes any legislation that gives Obama a positive legacy claim. Why? Because he has proven to be the single most corrupt president in our history when it comes to such matters. His willingness not only to lie about ObamaCare, but to lay out an entire strategy of lies, is the first example that comes to mind . . . . . . . . . . a disgraceful performance and one that is unforgivable.
A second and equally damning consideration, is his willingness to co-op new law, and amend it at will, to suit his purposes. Give the man a piece of new legislation, and he perverts it to suit his own agenda, turning the particular legislation into something that could not and did not receive Congressional.
A third legislative trick this demagoguing slickster uses with impunity is his abuse of the U.S. Constitution. On average, previous Administrations have a success rate, when defending themselves before the High Court, of 70% . . . . . . . Obama's success rate is closer to 39% when it is the chief litigant. In fact, Obama's has been defeated 9 to Zero, on at least 11 occasions (Redstate counts 20 such defeats)*, proving that his agenda is too far gone, even for his two appointees and Justice Ruth Ginsburg.
Finally, we have Obama's long held decision to rule as president apart from the Legislature, and to function as the sole arbitrator with regard to this nation's future, as much as is humanly possible. While his executive actions have not been as numerous as GW Bush or FDR, his orders have been more extreme than any president since FDR, without question. His latest order, that of amnesty for 6 million illegal immigrants, has been put on hold, by a Federal Court, since last February.
Any of the above four categories, should put him on the "outside" when it comes to honor and respect . . . . . . and whether you agree or not, these are four of the more significant reasons this man should be defeated in everything he seeks to do, everything.

* The difference in this count (11 versus 20) may be the result of counting only those cases where the Administration is the primary litigant versus combining such cases with the Administration's appearance before the Supremes as a "friend of the court."
Conservative Republicans have been searching endlessly for evidence of criminal corruption. Something beyond the typically bureaucratic incompetence that every president faces. Something criminal so they can see arrests, and convictions, and impeachment. They haven’t found squat, because there is nothing to find.
ReplyDeleteFast and Furious involved the illegal transfer of guns into the hands of the Mexican mob, for the purpose of using the projected capture of these guns to foster a campaign that promised to the end of private gun ownership. The plot was dreamed up between Obama and Eric Holder. The problem was this: two federal agents were murdered with these guns. Holder refused to investigate the circumstance leading to the larger plot we know as Fast and Furious. We have the testimony of a dozen American gun dealers who revealed that upon their complaints as to the sales of these weapons to the mob, they were told by the Feds to continue the practice.
DeleteBenghazi was such a bastard coverup, that, to this day, the State Department has refused to surrender 30, 000 emails, requested by the House Committee investigating that criminal coverup.
The Left loves to argue, "they don't have squat," forgetting that intelligent folks know that the Administration owns the DOJ, and is complicit in the coverup of 8 different scandals including spying on our own allies (Brazil, France, Germany, Israel), spying on more than 120 AP reporters, Fast and Furious, the Benghazi coverup and false imprisonment of a novice film maker, Obama's coverup of his donor list for more than 400 million dollars in the 2008 campaign, the illegal search and seizure of Gen Patreaus' emails, used to shut him up on the eve his testimony on Benghazi, the illegal use of the IRS to stop the flow of information and funds in the months before the 2012 election, the email coverup in the Fort Hood case, his illegal recess appointments (determined illegal by a Federal Court but never prosecuted by Eric Hold), and, on 6 August 2011, 12 weeks following the death of bin Laden, a U.S. Boeing CH-47 Chinook military helicopter was shot down IN RETAILIATION FOR bin Laden. 38 special forces died in the attack in Kabul, Afghanistan; 15 of them from Navy Seal Team Six. Obama had given a "stand down" during the attack, preventing a counter attack and, allowing the copter to go down without a fight.
This is the kind of scum we have for leadership.
