From the scandals that just dont stop coming out of the Administration along with the government using the power of its agencies to intimidate and harass conservative groups, it looks like Barack Obamas chickens are coming home to roost. just recently there was the story posted from Cynthia Lee Meyers where she told her story as the cousin of a CIA agent assigned to protect the Ambassador, J Christopher Stevens, who was tortured, beaten and had his g*****ls cut off before being thrown into a ditch! By the time he was found, it was too late! You can read it here! And this is on the Heels of a scathing and factual report from justice Jeanine Pirro who put the Administration back in its place while on Fox News! You can watch the video here:
Here is the article posted in the associated Press by Liz Sidotti. This is her work in italics, not mine and I wouldnt change a thing, even if I wanted to! Yet how long can the most corrupt Administration since Richard Nixon who has gone much farther than he did hold out? When the people wake up!
As a candidate, Barack Obama vowed to bring a different, better kind of leadership to the dysfunctional capital. Hed make government more efficient, accountable and t***sparent. Hed rise above the small-ball nature of doing business. And hed work with Republicans to break Washington paralysis.
You can trust me, Obama said back in 2008. And for a while, at least a good piece of the country did.
But with big promises often come big failures and the potential for big hits to the one thing that can make or break a presidency: credibility.
A series of mounting controversies is exposing both the risks of political promise-making and the limits of national-level governing while undercutting the core assurance Obama made from the outset: that he and his administration would behave differently.
The latest: the governments acknowledgement that, in a holdover from the Bush administration and with a bipartisan Congress approval and a secret courts authorization, it was siphoning the phone records of millions of American citizens in a massive data-collection effort officials say was meant to protect the nation from terrorism. This came after the disclosure that the government was snooping on journalists.
Also, the IRS improper targeting of conservative groups for extra scrutiny as they sought tax-exempt status has spiraled into a wholesale examination of the agency, including the finding that it spent $49 million in taxpayer money on 225 employee conferences over the past three years.
At the same time, Obamas immigration reform agenda is hardly a sure thing on Capitol Hill, and debate starting this week on the Senate floor is certain to show deep divisions over it. Gun control legislation is all but dead. And hes barely speaking to Republicans who control the House, much less working with them on a top priority: tax reform.
Even Democrats are warning that more angst may be ahead as the government steps up its efforts to implement Obamas extraordinarily expensive, deeply unpopular health care law.
