Thoughts on the president’s serial lawlessness and lies:
The purpose here is not to prove, yet again, that Obama is a fraud, which would be like proving that Detroit may be a tad mismanaged. The purpose is also not to establish, yet again, Obama’s hypocrisy in condemning Bush’s flouting of a single statute when, once he assumed power, Obama so systematically violated laws that you’d think the oath says, “Take care that the laws be faithlessly executed.” The purpose is not even to reprise Thursday’s remarkable press conference, at which Obama — in the very moment of his humiliation over serial lying — brazenly repeated some of his most notorious and resoundingly disproved whoppers: the claim that his oft-repeated promise about Americans being able to keep their health-insurance plans somehow “ended up being inaccurate” when it was willfully false; the claim that this lie affects only the 5 percent of Americans in the individual market when he has known for years (as John Hinderaker shows) that Obamacare would force the cancellation of tens of millions of employer-provided plans; and so on.
No, the purpose is to highlight how insouciantly lawless and transparently political the president’s latest Obamacare “fix” is. I refer, of course, to Obama’s magnanimous proclamation that he now deigns to permit insurers to issue policies made illegal by the Obamacare statute — at least until the Democrats can get through the 2014 elections. This was frivolous to the point of malfeasance.
This is political malpractice on an unprecedented scale. The only thing keeping him from being removed from office is the same thing that got him there: the melanin content of his skin and fear of race riots.
I predicted in 2008 that electing this inexperienced, ideological, hollow narcissistic creature would ultimately be a huge setback for the cause of racial equality, and make it very unlikely that there would ever be an actually competent, qualified black man (or woman) elected to the office for decades. He’s poisoned the well.
There is a second reason that Obama won’t be removed, which I think is far more important than skin color.
Can you say “President Biden”? Bet you can’t. I know I can’t.
President Biden. In theory he was picked for VP to give O’bummer foreign policy cred. The problem is nothing Obama does is credible. Not even incredible. Just pathetic. As is our collective response to his blatant serial lying. If we ever needed a means of discrediting government and media… we’ll never need it again.
Actually, the words “President Biden” are looking better every day.
Why not impeach VP Biden too?
Puts Boehner in the Oval Office.
Reverend Manning had it right when he warned us about electing a long legged mack daddy. Sweet awesome goodness.
I don’t think Obama’s failures and corruption will have an impact in electing black people to office. His skin color isn’t the reason behind his performance. Its his ideology, morals, and inteligence. I don’t think there will be any impact on Democrats in terms of candidates put forward or how the party thinks.
The way Obama has hurt racial equality is the endless racial agitation and painting everyone who disagrees with him a racist. This line of attack is not going away. And it doesn’t hurt just politics, it hurts every day interactions.
I’m not talking about what Democrats think. Obama wouldn’t have been elected if so many non-Democrats hadn’t wanted to vote for the first black president. Well, they got that out of their system.
so you think in 2008, Herman Cain could have won running on the GOP ticket?
No.
Do you have any other stupid questions? You don’t have to answer that — we know you’ve an endless supply of them.
I’m not sure if dn-guy has any other stupid questions, but he certainly has no shortage of stupid opinions. I guess he should at least be congratulated for not using his usual argument, which is:
“BOOOOOOOSHHH!!!!”
Do you think Democrats would have attacked Cain because of his race if he were the nominee? Because they did it regardless…
Oh I agree but I think, or at least hope, that Obama’s failures will be looked at as his failures and not those of his race. It would be fantastic if people blamed his failures on his party’s ideology and held Democrats accountable but I don’t have much hope.
BATF, ICE, HHS, the president is on a roll with directing federal agents to ignore the law and do as he says.
