Obanixon Circling the Drain?

[Unkotare]

IRS, AP, Benghazi, the dirty details of how Obamacare really got 'passed,' the arrogant dismissals of all this and much more enabled by a lap-dog press...it's all starting to pile up. The septic tank can only hold so much corruption before a good cleaning comes due. If Obama manages to play Greased-up Deaf Guy and complete his second term, how damaged will the brand be by the end of it? How many scape goats will end up on the spit, and who will they be? Will the mid-term elections portend things to come, or act as a pressure-release valve that allows the administration to limp its way to the finish line?

Stay tuned.

I wonder if any future Presidents will have the good sense to say "fuck it," and not bother running for a second term.

Stay tuned.

It's looking like it will be as damaged as what Bush did to the Republican brand. Maybe we'll be able to move back to the center after this administration.

Where's the beef?

Benghazi ain't no scandal.

IRS ain't no scandal.

AP ain't no scandal.

Where's the beef? Even Charles Krauthammer is warning wingnuts to lighten up.

Amazing that some liberals still claim there are no scandals.

Even Obama expressed outrage at the IRS and fired a guy, but the left only attacks the right for being outraged. Which is it, libs? Are you criticizing Obama for acknowledging a scandal with the IRS??

There are too damn many lies regarding Benghazi and only a liberal will dismiss all those witnesses. This is really the first time the country has heard actual testimony regarding what happened. Were the libs happy with the silence and sweeping things under the rug? And why didn't anyone wake Obama up from his pre-campaign trip nap to tell him they needed help convincing the Libyan government to give permission to fly in their airspace because our people were under attack and desperately needed help? Why didn't Obama condemn Libya for being so mean? Maybe it never happened, that's why.

The DOJ illegally obtained private conversations the AP reporters had. No search warrants and the AP was not under investigation. The AP, a notorious Obama lapdog, are rightfully pissed and are demanding an investigation.

The IRS is also being sued for illegally obtaining tens of thousands of medical records with no warrant or due cause to get them. What the hell are they up to?

I guess liberals will find it easier to get through the day if they just keep their heads in the sand and pretend that everything is copacetic.

Just don't have a nervous breakdown. I don't know if the train wreck known as Obamacare will cover that.

You either;

A) Need to stop watching so much Faux news and listening to so much conservative talk radio, the propaganda is conditioning your mind. Obama is a center-left politician. Compared to European politicians? He is a fascist.

or

B) Take an elementary class in political science at the University level. Americans have not shifted to the left in any substantial way, nor have their politics. Sure, the press make it seem that way. Socially they may have, but this is more a product of Hollywood than it is a product of the Beltway. The global elites would like to push their agenda, but as was made clear by their gun agenda, they have obviously overplayed their hand. Even half of the so called "liberal" Democrats realize you can't enact gun control w/o amending the Constitution.

Charles Krauthammer?? Are you serious? One CFR globalist elite telling the chattel of the world to ease up on another CFR globalist elite? Really?

Big fucking surprise. Hello McFly, they all work for the same Co., they are all playing ball and believe in the same global world order. Derp. . . .

The executive editor, managing editor and foreign editor of the New York Times are members, along with the executives of such other large newspapers as the Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times, the weekly news magazines, network television executives and celebrities, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw and Jim Lehrer, for example, and various columnists, among them Charles Krauthammer, William Buckley, George Will and Jim Hoagland.

Graduate Courses at a Big Ten School and a Pac Ten School.

That's not really important though. A person doesn't really need to go to University to be educated. I have met Anarchists with high school diplomas that read three books a week that are more knowledgeable than many post doctoral students.

The point is, you need to be well read, have an open mind, and not have your information and thoughts be formed for you by propaganda and opinion makers.

You should know a little something about the topics of which you speak.

There are some moderators on this site that have on their signature the "Political Compass." That is a good site. I recommend it to all people here. Professors at both schools taught several charting methods, but that site is standard. Of course, since Universities are heavily funded by foundations and endowments, you are going to have classes that are biased toward Statism, and liberal Democracy, so that political classification system is also necessarily biased, but it is the most commonly used classification system used in the west I believe. That is what I base that critique on.

But even using THAT chart, Obama still comes off as being a centrist. Look it up. Talk to the Mods and Admins here that like that site, they'll tell you.

Frankly, I don't put much stock in those charts, the questions are loaded and biased.

For instance, the first question;

If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

WTF??!! It's obviously designed by the CFR and the globalists, it stands for everything I'm against. I'm out, right there. It is NOT inevitable. It's like starting out a questionnaire;

"If slavery and child pornography are inevitable, it should primarily be for pleasure not profit."

Like huh? Evil is evil fuckers. I'll not be a party to this quiz, you won't label me on your chart. lol I've taken it before though. I land somewhere around the same place as the Dali Lama and Gandhi. On their chart I'm a unique mix of Libertarian and Progressive ideologies. If John Lennon and Ayn Rand had a child, I'd be him.

Then why did you make that specific suggestion?

Because his was an ignorant analysis of the US body politic based on the mass media's conditioning of the public, (specifically conservative media and the so called "tea party" elements thereof) to make them believe certain things about the electorate. This was a more useful and polite piece of advice because I aim to be friendly and helpful, not to be a troll. Now, if you want my honest opinion, with your badgering, and your harassing, I could have just stated, no, you are wrong; and said go read a book instead of believe everything you read and hear.

But what would be the point? Eh? The power of propaganda really cannot be so easily overcome. Read any Edward Bernays? I can't compete with the conditioning you receive daily through your electronic media if you do not make the effort to raise your own awareness. If you do not make an effort to unplug from the hive mind, you are a lost cause. THAT is the cause of your mis-perception.

Forget it.

The media will soon forgive the AP thing and get back to doing what they do.

These "scandals" will then be ignored and fade away.

Get back to trying to fix the GOP.

accusing a American citizen for Benghazi

Obama Irs targeting American citizens who didn't vote for or has the nerve to speak out against them..

Going after the press that has been nothing but on their KNEES for this guy..

I don't believe so. The media's the media, even if they are incredibly slanted to the left. When you mess with one, you mess with them all. They're pissed. And I believe and hope that this doesn't go away. On top of being targeted, they are being stonewalled on Benghazi, were given a paltry 100 pages of emails by the White House, and apologized to by the IRS for targeting Christian/Republican groups for aggressive auditing procedures.

I don't think this is something that will just go away.
