The Consequences of Liberalism

The Consequences of Liberalism (Googtoon©2015 Mark Jordan Koeff)

If President Barack Obama's statements likening ISIS to a "JV Team" were not incriminating enough, just hours before Frances' worst terrorist attack ever, Obama was on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” where in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, he downplayed the threat of ISIS.

Stephanopoulos' softball question to Obama regarding whether ISIS was gaining in strength, was as expected, if not planned, quickly denied.

Obama responded, “I don’t think they’re gaining strength. What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them. They have not gained ground in Iraq, and in Syria they’ll come in, they’ll leave, but you don’t see this systemic march by ISIL across the terrain.”

Obama also admitted that, “What we have not yet been able to do is to completely decapitate their command and control structures," but fell short of conceding his failure to articulate a cogent and comprehensive strategy is a possible cause for global terrorist resurgence. 

So then, how has Obama's tune changed in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Paris? President Obama claimed he doesn’t “want to speculate” on who perpetrated the attacks. Regardless of a profusion of reports affirming that the gunmen were shouting, ‘This is for Syria,’ and ‘Allahu Akbar’ our feckless leader is incapable of stating the obvious. 

In contrast to President Obama, French President Francois Hollande offers us a different perspective:

“To all those who have seen these awful things, I want to say we are going to lead a war which will be pitiless. Because when terrorists are capable of committing such atrocities they must be certain that they are facing a determined France, a united France, a France that is together and does not let itself be moved, even if today we express infinite sorrow.”

I can only hope the world is watching and and taking note. On the one hand we have a slick politician who told the world that terrorism was "on the run," "decimated," and "on their heals," and has yet to come to grips the gravity of Islamic terrorism. On the other hand, we hear a French politician tell it like is, exposing the existential realities of terrorism. So I ask you, which of these leaders inspires confidence in fighting ISIS?

Will the horrors in France be a wakeup call for the world? We can only hope - and possibly write blog posts....

Harry Reid - Holding Cards for Obama & Holder Scandle Cover-ups

To date, years after numerous scandals have erupted, permeating the Obama White Hours, not only has no one been indicted, the vast majority of the victims have not even been interviewed. Adding to the White House stonewalling, one of culprits, Lois Lerner, has twice pleaded the Fifth. And yet the attorney general refuses to allow genuine, and impartial, investigations.

To say the least, the integrity of the Department of Justice deserves better. The American people deserve better.

Regardless of House Republican resolve to uncover the scandals, they are helpless to get at the truth with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid holding all the cards, objecting. In Monopoly, it's called a “Get Out of Jail Free” card.

Regardless of the Republicans standing on the right side of the law, being right is not nearly sufficient enough to force Obama and Holder to stop their cover-ups. They long ago made clear their willingness to do whatever they think is necessary to suppress the truth about their scandals.

Lest we forget the biggest and most diverse cover-ups in American history, following is a list of Barack Obama's more egregious scandals. As of this post the whitewashing is ongoing, none have been fully investigated or exposed, and no one has been held accountable regardless of Obama's vociferous yet vacuous avowals.

Eric Holder Justice

While some contend Eric Holder is a close second to the worst man alive, Harry Reid, few disagree that Holder is
"The worst person to hold the position of attorney general since the disgraced John Mitchell.”

Lest we forget the biggest and most diverse cover-ups in American history, following is a list of Barack Obama's more egregious scandals. As of this post the whitewashing is ongoing, none have been fully investigated or exposed, and no one has been held accountable regardless of Obama's vociferous yet vacuous avowals.

"A veteran Justice Department lawyer says that Attorney General Eric Holder has politicized the department in a way he hadn’t seen before. In short, “Holder is the worst person to hold the position of attorney general since the disgraced John Mitchell.” John Fund and Hans Von Spakovsky

Now in his sixth year as attorney general, Holder has increasingly tilted the department in an ideological direction. It’s one thing to emphasize President Obama’s legal priorities. It’s quite another to decide not to enforce certain federal laws — such as the ban on marijuana — or urge state attorney generals to refuse to defend local laws on same-sex marriage. Legal changes are achieved through legislation, not through a sudden whim not to enforce them. No other attorney general has acted in this manner."

Barack Obama Coverups

With Jimmy Carter no longer recognized as the worst president in American history, Barack Obama makes his new venture official by opening a chain of woman's clothing boutiques, appropriately named "Coverups."
