Obama Scandals Predictable

Former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin says the rash of scandals surrounding the Obama presidency is entirely predictable because Obama has never been subjected to close media scrutiny. Even the president’s Republican opponents have avoided directly confronting him for fear of incurring the wrath of his adoring media followers.

Palin reveals that in her 2008 vice presidential run, she was forbidden from talking about Obama’s relationships with both Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers, as well as his job experience. “I was not allowed to talk about things like that because those ‘elitists,’ those who are the brainiacs in the GOP machine, running John McCain’s campaign at the time said that the media would eat us alive if we brought up these things.” “What that got us, this kind of complacency and self-censoring of a campaign where we weren’t allowed to tell the truth about who this candidate was — Barack Obama — what it got us was a list of these scandals,” Palin charged.

Obama: The Green Meanie

President Obama continues his misguided campaign to wipe out the coal industry. With the economy barely growing and his record of job creation ranking among the worst in modern times, Obama still can’t seem to focus his energies on shoring up the anemic economy or boosting the prospects for job-seekers. Instead, he’s chosen to kowtow to his left flank, pushing more government regulation and introducing ever wilder green energy boondoggles. None of this is shocking anymore, coming from an aloof and arrogant, tone-deaf Administration. H/T Wall Street Journal

Irish Eyes Aren’t Smiling

President Obama was in Ireland this week for the G8 summit, but at least one Irish politician is not happy about the visit. Clare Daly, a member of the Irish Parliament, tore apart both Obama and the “unprecedented slobbering” over him and his family during their visit. She called the U.S. president a “war criminal” who can hardly claim to be promoting peace, and called out Irish leaders for pimping out Ireland for Obama, saying the Irish government is “prostituting ourselves in return for a pat on the head.”

What Will Obamacare Cost You

Much has been written about the bloated costs associated with Obamacare. Pundit Dick Morris begins to break down what the impact will be for average middle-income Americans. If his figures are correct, look for many to opt out of the program, and simply pay a fine rather than be saddled with the exorbitant Obamacare fees.

The Long Ears of the Feds

President Obama calls the NSA’s domestic spying on Americans “modest,” but now we know the government has been logging the phone calls, emails, Internet searches and even credit card transactions of millions of citizens, regardless of whether they stand accused of crimes or not. Never before have the Feds so shamelessly violated the privacy of so many innocent citizens, justifying the invasive activity in the name of national security. Fox’s Megan Kelly discusses this Administration’s serious credibility and accountability issues.

Why the Spying Must Cease

If President Obama isn’t already the worst president in American history, he’s vying for that title with news that he has approved the most massive domestic surveillance program ever mounted against the public. It’s one thing to turn the thumbscrews on terrorists, but quite another proposition to monitor the private and business affairs of essentially every American. Lee Doren asks how can we trust the government to collect such sensitive information after learning how the IRS and other federal agencies have been used covertly and unethically to target the president’s political opponents.

Ghost of Columbia University

Wayne Allyn Root just returned from New York, where he attended his 30th Columbia University reunion. He celebrated with his esteemed classmates. Everyone except Barack Obama. As usual: Obama wasn’t there. Not even a video greeting. Not a personalized letter to his classmates. Nothing. But worse, no one Root met at the reunion had ever met him. The President of the United States is the ghost of Columbia University. More from personalliberty.

Worse Than Bush

CNN anchor Piers Morgan says President Obama has compiled a worse record than George W. Bush on civil liberties. That goes without saying. And now even Obama apologist are having to admit as much. The most salient lingering question: How much worse has Obama been?

How much secret surveillance has he conducted, spying and prying into the lives of everyday Americans? How many witch hunts have been pursued against his political enemies? How many laws have been twisted or trampled by this arrogant and aloof Administration?

Par for the course, it took an overseas news outlet to bust the Obama Administration for its sweeping abuse of the Patriot Act and the civil liberties of all Americans. Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian journalist who broke the story about the top secret program surrounding the National Security Agency’s procurement of the telephone records of every Verizon customer, joined CNN’s Jake Tapper on Thursday. Greenwald detailed his report and noted how members of Congress are in revolt over their inability to oversee the program.

“It’s always been assumed that, under the Patriot Act, if the government had even the suspicion that you were involved in a crime or terrorism they could get a lot of information about you,” Greenwald began. He said that this order is unique because it is not directed at an individual, it is indiscriminately directed at every one of Verizon’s 120 million plus subscribers.
