eterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki cannot get a handle on the recent scandalous treatment of veterans in VA hospitals, where more than 40 sick men were allowed to die without proper follow-up treatment. A cover-up allegedly followed. When the Walter Reed Army Medical Center scandal broke under the George W. Bush administration, heads rolled. So far, Shinseki seems immune from similar accountability

Almost nothing that former secretary of health and human services Kathleen Sebelius promised before, during, or after the implementation of the ill-starred Affordable Care Act came true. She was also cited by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel for violating the Hatch Act, as she improperly campaigned for Obama’s reelection while serving as a cabinet secretary.

Former IRS official Lois Lerner used the federal tax-collection agency to go after groups deemed too conservative. She invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid telling Congress the whole truth.

Susan Rice, former U.N. ambassador and now national-security adviser, flat-out deceived the public in five television appearances about the Benghazi catastrophe. She insisted that the deaths of four Americans were due to a spontaneous riot induced by a reactionary video maker — even though she had access to intelligence fingering al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorists as the culprits who planned the attack on the anniversary of 9/11.


Rice recently blamed Obama foreign-policy failures on domestic political polarization. But that is best described as the give and take of democracy and was once thought to be our foreign-policy strength.

Rice also knows little history. In 2007, in the midst of the surge, when Americans were fighting for their lives to stabilize Iraq, then-senator Hillary Clinton implied that the commanding general in Iraq, General David Petraeus, was a veritable liar. Senate majority leader Harry Reid agreed and declared that the war was already lost. Then–presidential candidate Barack Obama prematurely wrote off the politically inconvenient surge as a failure. Was Rice then shocked that “polarization” affected foreign policy?

Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton left office with American foreign policy in shambles. She has been unable to make the argument that a single initiative — reset with Russia, lead from behind in Libya, red lines on Syria, deadlines to Iran, complete withdrawal from Iraq, pressure on the Israelis, outreach to radical Islam and Latin American Communist dictatorships — had met with success.

Clinton infamously dismissed the lingering mysteries surrounding the Benghazi deaths with “What difference at this point does it make?” She also refused, despite numerous entreaties, to place the now-infamous Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram on a State Department terrorist watch list.

Eric Holder is the first attorney general to have been held in contempt of Congress. Aside from his divisive language (he called America “a nation of cowards” and referred to African Americans as “my people”), Holder always seems to find himself at the center of scandals. He permitted the federal monitoring of Associated Press journalists. He green-lighted the “Fast and Furious” gun-running scam. He has failed to bring to account rogue IRS officials. Holder is the most morally compromised attorney general since Nixon appointee John Mitchell.

Do we remember former EPA administrator Lisa Jackson? Her case was as unprofessional as it was surreal. Jackson fabricated for herself an alternate identity as a mid-level EPA employee. In communications, she used a fake e-mail address and name, and then unethically honored her own alter ego (“Richard Windsor”) as a “scholar of ethical behavior.” Who could have dreamed up such an unethical caper?

What has happened to NASA? We are currently trying to isolate Vladimir Putin for his territorial aggressions and yet beseeching the Russians to send our astronauts into space. Perhaps NASA administrator Charles Bolden should not have boasted that one of NASA’s “foremost” goals was “to reach out to the Muslim world” and “to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering.” Americans might have preferred Bolden to stick with rockets.

Former secretary of energy Steven Chu left under a cloud of controversy involving crony capitalists’ getting millions of dollars in green loans that produced nothing but failed companies. Former labor secretary Hilda Solis slipped out of office, battling accusations of Hatch Act violations and freebie rides on private jets from insider union friends. Former top officials such as Timothy Geithner, Peter Orszag, and Larry Summers have given new meaning to the revolving door between Wall Street and the White House.

The common denominator?

In all of these cases, politics trumped ethics. Because Obama professed that he was on the side of the proverbial people, administrators assumed that they had a blank check to do or say what they wished without much media audit. The mystery is not whether some administration officials were incompetent or unethical or both, but whether there are any left who are not.

You nailed it as far as his appointments go, but he, himself has committed so many unconstitutional acts that it would take a book to list them. Of course, finding an ethical democrat was an impossible task--they're ALL corrupt ! Such shining examples as Sheila Jackson Lee, Elijah Cummings, Nancy Pelosi, Harry (Liar) Reid, Joe Biden, Barbara Boxer, Barney Franks, Jay Rockefeller, etc. etc.

Very well said. You speak the truth. I wish our politicians could do the same.

Gringo get to point, the problem's there are no ethics to be found in this 'Supremacist-Racist-Fascist' administration, no matter how deep you look, it just gets darker than the Third Reich's best days. Benghazi has become a political ping-pong game from both delusional sides, if only Constitutionality was applied, high crimes and misdemeanors, would have removed this traitor from the office he disgraces on a daily basis, as well as the Moslem Brothers, they would have been a bad dream by now, unfortunately every one is afraid of being called a homophobe, Islamophobe, or racist, when the short take on this story and appropriate tittle for these illiterates is they are all Islamocodomites, another amusing descriptive tittle for the Brotherhood, Al'Qaeda, Al'Islamiya and Mufti-Obama's moral deficits and the blood that's on his hands; Boko Haram let's not forget, in a Brotherhood Al'Qaeda franchise, yet while the kidnapping of these girls was an ongoing 'cable news' event, as they psychoanalyze their criminal behavior they get a pass for mentioning "Islam" the religion that according to these mass-murdering drug smugglers, orders you to provide slaves these are the orders they received from their studies of the Q'ran, that Friday it was a travesty, to watch the Mufti declare, there will be weapons to Al'Qaeda, Al'Assad is kicking Al'Qaeda's ass, the only, ruler who is protecting the Judeo-Christian Communities of Syria that predate Islam by an embarrassing time spam, this bi-polar political policy disgrace, cannot continue much longer, before we become as one with Al'Qaeda, we are damn close, Obama is an enemy agent in the White House in an office that should have been closed to him.

I wonder when obozo is going to swoop down on us like they have veterans? Supremacist-Racis-Fascist // Hitler/Obozo // 160,000 vets carry permits and weapons seized because PTSD diagnosis ( Iread that but haven't documented it). Patty's post and others on veterans scandal.Now this starting post.

The FEMA stuff; the Tzars appointed by obozo that are muslim. The 9/11 contra government proof and statements, that is really hard to believe; although the Pentagon crash expose' is quite convincing.

Jesse the body Ventura and his videos is very disconcerting. Truth what a hard commodity to find in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

I can't even believe some of the supporting posts for obozo. Any one should be able to present a valid birth certificate of live birth in the USA. One that would pass any scrutiny. And back it up with valid documents from the hospital, doctors, nurses something.

Sadly, the same can be said of Congress and most other political types at any level. While there are bad players of all political stripes, the Democrats clearly lead in the areas of incompetence, unethical conduct, and disrespect for God, Country, and the Constitution.

One sure way to get on track, is to follow the Constitution and get Mufti-Barry back to Kenya, Hawaii, or Indonesia; 10 to 1 not something they'll allow to happen. Mufti-Mahdi-Barry will take a lot of pigeons to distinguish between the droppings and the feed, it is however written that either way we loose way more than he.

Too easy to call a racist act, instead consider the Halal way to slaughter those goats once divorced, or just call it "a just jihad" and no questions will come, it is after all politically-correct to accept the slaughter of the infidel, Al'Qaeda and their Moslem-Brotherhood handlers claim is the way of Mohammed, it is however more than plain, both Mohammed and Allah must be outraged and turning at a high speed in their respective graves.

Well following the constitution would require eliminating the VA, since the federal government shouldn't be taking care of any troops. They are not empowered to create a VA.
