Obama's Scandals

I found this on the Tea Party’s Facebook page. I’m going to re-post this to my blog to make sure that this information doesn’t get lost in the Facebook shuffle of information. That and just in case the federal government tells Facebook to take it off.

Now I understand that there is a lot of information in this posting, but that just goes to show you how much scandalous information is out there that could/can be associated to Obama.

LET'S REMIND OBAMA WE ARE PAYING ATTENTION. WE ARE NOT ALL STUPID SHEEPLE!

It’s easy to forget that the three scandals currently swirling about President Obama are just the latest episodes of potential misdoings by the scandal-plagued­ Obama administration. As a refresher, here is a full list of the administration’s most egregious scandals. This is true. It’s easy to forget when Obama and his supporters try and throw other distracters in the way such as the gun control debate.

1. IRS targets Obama’s enemies

The IRS targeted conservative and pro-Israel groups prior to the 2012 election. Questions are being raised about why this occurred, who ordered it, whether there was any White House involvement and whether there was an initial effort to hide who knew about the targeting and when.

2. Benghazi

This is actually three scandals in one: The failure of administration to protect the Benghazi mission. The changes made to the talking points in order to suggest the attack was motivated by an anti-Muslim video. The refusal of the White House to say what President Obama did the night of the attack. What gets me is that we have plenty of military throughout Europe that could have gotten to Benghazi, yet they were told to stand down by the Obama Administration. His reasoning??? We needed to investigate what was going on before we could plan on any kind of rescue mission. Really? I think I’ve heard this somewhere before… Oh yeah… This was from Star Wars Episode I where Queen Amidala (Ambassador Stevens) wants the Republic Senate (the White House/Congress) to send forces (American military) to help protect her from the Trade Federation (Muslim radical terrorists). What’s the answer she gets from Supreme Chancellor Valorum (President Obama)? At first it seems he’s willing to take action, until politics steps in. At that point, he asks her to wait until a committee can be formed to ascertain the validity of her accusation. Sound familiar?

3. Watching the AP

The Justice Department performed a massive cull of Associated Press reporters’ phone records as part of a leak investigation.

4. Rosengate

The Justice Department suggested that Fox News reporter James Rosen is a criminal for reporting about classified information and subsequently monitored his phones and emails. Something that Obama berated Bush over, by the way.

5. Potential Holder perjury I

Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress he had never been associated with “potential prosecution” of a journalist for perjury when in fact he signed the affidavit that termed Rosen a potential criminal. Oops… That lie number 1 and strike 1, Eric.

6. The ATF “Fast and Furious” scheme

Allowed weapons from the U.S. to “walk” across the border into the hands of Mexican drug dealers. The ATF lost track of hundreds of firearms, many of which were used in crimes, including the December 2010 killing of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Oh… That’s strike 2, Eric.

7. Potential Holder Perjury II

Holder told Congress in May 2011 that he had just recently heard about the Fast and Furious gun walking scheme when there is evidence he may have known much earlier. Oh… That’s lie number 2 and strike 3, Eric. YOU’RE OUT! Sucks the umpire (Obama) is still letting you play the game. He should have sent you to the showers a long time ago.

8. Sebelius demands payment

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius solicited donations from companies HHS might regulate. The money would be used to help her sign up uninsured Americans for ObamaCare. Now shouldn’t that be considered unethical and a good reason to throw Sebelius out on her butt???? That would be like an employer soliciting donations from his/her prospective employees (interviewees) so that employer could turn around and use it for some business expense. Imagine how well that would go over in a court of law.

9. The Pigford scandal

An Agriculture Department effort that started as an attempt to compensate black farmers who had been discriminated against by the agency but evolved into a gravy train delivering several billion dollars in cash to thousands of additional minority and female farmers who probably didn’t face discrimination. OMG, this is like someone suing an employer for discrimination and winning while non-employees attempt the same thing and win! And we’re told by Obama supporters that he isn’t wasting our money like Bush did????

10. GSA gone wild

The General Services Administration in 2010 held an $823,000 training conference in Las Vegas, featuring a clown and mind readers. Resulted in the resignation of the GSA administrator. Again, I reiterate… And Obama supporters say that Obama doesn’t waste our money like Bush did???? Of course, if any of them were to actually read this, they’d spout off about how Obama wasn’t directly related to this and something about Bush’s illegal wars and I’m racists and blah blah blah…

11. Veterans Affairs in Disney World

The agency wasted more than $6 million on two conferences in Orlando. An assistant secretary was fired. Hey… I’m a veteran! Where’s my two $6 million vacations to Disney World!?!?!

12. Sebelius violates the Hatch Act

A U.S. special counsel determined that Sebelius violated the Hatch Act when she made “extemporaneous­ partisan remarks” during a speech in her official capacity last year. During the remarks, Sebelius called for the election of the Democratic candidate for governor of North Carolina. I’ll admit that I had to look up the Hatch Act, hence the link for everyone else’s information. Hey now…. I don’t want to be a know nothing Obama supporter sheeple.

13. Solyndra

Republicans charged the Obama administration funded and promoted its poster boy for green energy despite warning signs the company was headed for bankruptcy. The administration also allegedly pressed Solyndra to delay layoff announcements until after the 2010 midterm elections. Another failed Obama attempt to create jobs, jobs, jobs, which the Europeans had already tried with the same exact results. "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - Albert Einstein

14. AKA Lisa Jackson

Former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson used the name “Richard Windsor” when corresponding by email with other government officials, drawing charges she was trying to evade scrutiny.

15. The New Black Panthers

The Justice Department was accused of using a racial double standard in failing to pursue a voter intimidation case against Black Panthers who appeared to be menacing voters at a polling place in 2008 in Philadelphia. Of course they did. Duh… Had they tried, the NAACP would have been all over that case!

16. Waging war all by myself

Obama may have violated the Constitution and both the letter and the spirit of the War Powers Resolution by attacking Libya without Congressional approval. Oh, but let’s not mention this to the Obama sheeple because they’ll only throw “Bush’s illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan” back in your face. I know from personal experience!

17. Biden bullies the press

Vice President Biden’s office has repeatedly interfered with coverage, including forcing a reporter to wait in a closet, making a reporter delete photos, and editing pool reports. Do you know who the last person was to do that that we know of? Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Propaganda Secretary!

18. AKPD not A-OK

The administration paid millions to the former firm of then-White House adviser David Axelrod, AKPD Message and Media, to promote passage of Obamacare. Some questioned whether the firm was hired to help pay Axelrod $2 million AKPD owed him. Didn’t the Obama sheeple berate VP Cheney for his association with Halliburton in regards to Bush going into Iraq? They said that Cheney stood to make millions through Halliburton because he was going to have his company handle all the oil in Iraq and that’s why Bush when into Iraq in the first place. Love how the left is so one way!

19. Sestak, we’ll take care of you

Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel used Bill Clinton as an intermediary to probe whether former Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) would accept a prominent, unpaid White House advisory position in exchange for dropping out of the 2010 primary against former Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.).

20. I’ll pass my own laws

Obama has repeatedly been accused of making end runs around Congress by deciding which laws to enforce, including the decision not to deport illegal immigrants who may have been allowed to stay in the United States had Congress passed the “Dream Act.” I love how he tries to get around Congress, yet he still has sheeple in Congress that blindly follow him (Nancy and Harry to name a few).
