The Rotten Obama Record -- and Legacy
Apr 10, 2017 09:27:27 #
The mainstream media idolized and guarded the Obama 'narrative' and legacy. It's coming apart now.
There is an excellent cartoon showing a circle of people surrounding Barack Obama, guarding him, preventing anyone from bringing him harm. An observer asks if those people are the Secret Service. The answer: No, that’s the media.
I don’t think there is a better portrayal of the Obama legacy. This cartoon succinctly communicates how this man gained office, kept it, and remained popular. The Obama phenomenon had a complex side, but the most complex and nefarious part was the unwillingness of the mainstream media to criticize, or bring up any hint of wrongdoing on his part. From the beginning, our media created an image for him, never actually delving into his background, his beliefs, or his life in any way. Unlike the quest to find out Trump’s tax returns, the media never sought to reveal who or what Obama was.
After Obama’s e******n, it was Chris Matthews who infamously said, “My Job Is to Make the Obama Presidency a Success” continuing with, “This country needs a successful presidency.” The entire left-leaning media clearly took that construct as its main job for Obama. They reported everything as positive. If there was something negative, or heaven forbid WRONG, it often was ignored, lied about or spun hard to make it look like nothing was there. Great examples are the horror of Obamacare, the lies about B******i, and the falsehoods about the “wonderful” Iran deal.
There is a very dark underbelly to this fawning: Obama himself. Here was a radical l*****t who had accomplished nothing in his entire life. His success in politics was being elected, being black, and being able to convincingly read a teleprompter. He had no brilliant bills he authored, no success in his work or political history, yet there he was being spoken of by our media as the finest example of intelligence, acumen, and moral clarity our country had produced in a century. They also never reported this t***h: He was a hard l*****t radical.
The biggest consequence in all this: St. Barack seems to have actually believed the PR. He could do no wrong. Wh**ever he said, the media would slavishly report. This was a terrible thing. For anyone. Sycophantic attention, no scrutiny, no hard questions. Ever. Looking back: The radical he was, what he actually stood for, what his world view was, were the makings of a disaster.
Which is his legacy. A disaster. Not only for him, but for all of us in this country. So far, this man has skated because he has had no scrutiny. The media tries to claim he had a scandal-free presidency. Nothing can be further from the t***h. Which has finally begun to trickle out. The trickle started ignominiously with Donald Trump’s tweet about “wiretapping.” I believe history will show that event as the beginning of the end of St. Barack.
Trump has taken much flack for that tweet, one that on its face was not entirely correct. The media has had its weeks of fun with it, yet suddenly we find ourselves seeing major revelations of wrongdoing. There have been a lot of suspicions about how Obama was steering the federal government and the bureaucracies, none of which appeared kosher. We are now beginning to see just how intentional his administration was at appropriating power for doing things that used to be considered shocking, wrong, and illegal.
Barack Obama weaponized the federal government. Purposefully. We are learning there was an unprecedented use of the federal government to spy on an opposition party and its members within the U.S. We are learning that Nixon was a piker, a little leaguer, a nothingburger. This trickle that has become a stream is about to become a torrent. Legacy.
When he nominated Eric Holder to be Attorney General, we should have known. Rather than delve into Holder’s corrupt reputation, the GOP allowed this man through without a fight, allowing him to politicize the Justice Department in ways not thought possible. This was the man who helped Bill Clinton pardon Marc Rich for the quid pro quo of money donations. Holder then:
*Dismissed Black Panther felonies
*Sent guns to drug gangs in Mexico to make a case for gun control
*Refused to give information to Congress about “Fast and Furious”
*Sued states for cleaning up v**er rolls
*Roiled the black community for v**es by hyping Trayvon Martin.
The list of ugly things by Holder is long and beyond the pale. When he left, Loretta Lynch followed in his same corrupt footsteps. Both were an extension of a corrupt president who was puffed up with power, without scruples. And the media didn’t care.
Here are a few Obama scandals of corruption ignored by the media:
* The IRS targeted conservative groups and individuals, apparently for the crime of being………conservative. We are told Obama met with the head of the IRS over a hundred times prior to the scandal erupting. Oh, I forgot, that would only be a scandal if Trump’s IRS went after the Sierra Club. This targeting actually happened, the main perpetrator not in prison, still drawing a good salary for her efforts. Politicizing the IRS to destroy political opponents, it happened. They even admit it happened, yet no one is in prison.
The media allows democrats to be felonious.
* When the information was published about Edward Snowden, the sirens went off all across America. We found out that the NSA was spying on ordinary Americans, sweeping up data from all their phone calls, texts and computer searches. Who was President? Oh, right, Barack the Pure. His administration assured us this was not really happening. Unfortunately, it actually was. I know, I know, St. Barack would never use this kind of intelligence, would he? He also “wiretapped” Angela Merkel, the Queen, and other foreign leaders, but he would never do such a thing…….
And yes, that was me feigning liberal media innocence.
* B******i. A complicated event, but one of consequence. We do not know exactly what happened other than an American ambassador was k**led, along with other Americans. We do know that St. Barack and his cohorts all lied to the country with a straight face. To add insult to injury he then went to the UN and lied to the world. The video did it.
And the media helped them sell it.
The list is longer, but now to the building flood of how the Trump team was “inadvertently” (*Cough, cough*) surveilled prior to and after the e******n. Yes, that is the narrative the democrat/media complex wants you to believe. Don’t. They argue that because “Russia hacked the e******n,” it was perfectly righteous to do what Nixon did; no namby pamby little burglary here, St. Barack would use the whole power of the government to spy and collect data on its political opponents. And this was fine because "Trump colluded with the Russians.” Which did not happen.
It’s the Catch-22 of all time. They had to investigate a scandal because they said it was one. They had to spy on all these people, with no reason to, because they had to find a reason to do so. And if you believe the Russians made Obama spy on American citizens, I have a bridge to sell you. Cheap. Just one small deposit in my Nigerian bank.
An incomplete recap of the corruption that has happened under his watch: Eric Holder, the “stimulus,” Fast and Furious, Solyndra, Obamacare, the census power grab, the IRS targeting of political opponents, executive amnesty, the Snowden NSA spy revelations, the debate collusion with Candy Crowley, race-baiting for v**es, selling our soul to Iran and Cuba, wiretapping allies, spying on journalists, destroying attempts to clean up v**er rolls, the B******i video. Politicizing and weaponizing our government and its bureaucracies. And so much more. This was eight years of a purposeful, corrupt power grab in the worst of ways. And no, I do not believe for a second he did not know, or did not incite these to happen. Fish rot from the head down. The media was the neck of this administration.
This oozing scandal of spying on the Trump circle is being found out in spite of the media effort to spike it. More people will find out as the facts emerge, it is too big to hide. Obama and Susan Rice’s actions are too bizarre to bury. Wikileaks was not covered by the media, yet half of America knew about it. This is far bigger than Wikileaks revelations. As the information streams forth about Obama’s wrongful spying, only hardcore true believers will stand with him. Eventually, the rest of his actions will be scrutinized. This will take time, likely years. The facts will shine a devastating light on his Presidency, and his legacy: Will be far worse than Nixon, and he will be considered as worse. He and his media enablers just don’t know it.

I think you will find that history will call him one of the best presidents we have had. Much of what you wrote is b.s.
How about turning the economy around from Bush losing 400.000 jobs a month to gaining 200.000 or more.
How about all the consumer protection laws did he implemented, trump is doing away with. On day one the republicans said this president would get nothing,and for almost eight years they did nothing except giving themselves a raise.
So now we have a draft dodging pervert who is deeply indebted to the Russians.

You are absolutely correct. obama is the worst and most dangerous President this country ever had and the damage done by obama will continue far into the future mainly due to all the Muslim "refugees" who will cost taxpayer money possibly for ever and commit all kinds of crimes.

Not because it isn't warranted, but because the domino effect would be catastrophic to both parties...
They are nothing but greedy, sell outs that could care less about our country, and care about everything in what they can get in their pockets before they finally get caught or chased out....
Pretty sad when the elitism of fraudsters is all we have for a government!!
Are you proud?? I am not!!

Well, you are making assumptions and listening to gossip. Evidence that indicates no wrongdoing decided by the various judicial branches-is no evidence.
I don't have to be proud of my government. They are supposed to be stewards of my tax money, they screw that up, "me" the v**er gets to decide whether they continue. That's all that matters.

I have asked you and others, numerous times to provide legally obtainable filings to support her shenanigans and yet none of you can provide one bit of that evidence.
You go check, you go do the leg work. I'm not making statements that imply that she has harmed anyone, but no one, can find a single court filing outlining any charges that have been weighed against her.
I don't need to prove anything, it doesn't matter what I think about what she has done. You've made up your mind on: NO EVIDENCE.
Don't send me to i***tic links without any verifiable information, THAT'S CALLED GOSSIP. Gossip isn't fact, it's junk news, cookie.
Here's a fact: the Governor of Alabama, dittled the help, and finds himself divorced, refused to resign, BECAUSE HE WOULD RATHER BE SHOEHORNED THROUGH AN IMPEACHMENT PROCESS. P***e goes Before a Fall, what an ass. Yup, he's a Republican.

Can you provide one link to a government source that supports your ridiculous assumption that Muslims have take over the country.

I didn't say that Muslims had taken over the country, just that they will cost the taxpayers money and create problems far into the future of this country. Thats all.
