The Obama legacy a culture of corruption

wfanning's picture

First let me say that I am under no illusion that corruption is new to the hollowed halls of Washington DC. The fact is that at many times in our nations political history corruption has raised its ugly head, nor has it been confined to Washington, corruption can and has been found in all levels of our government.

Globe Tabloid: "Obama Was Not Born in U.S."

Since President Obama’s campaign in 2008, a growing number of Americans have raised questions regarding Obama’s birthplace and whether he is indeed eligible to serve as President of the United States. Those citizens have been labeled “birthers” and have been assigned a reputation as looney conspiracy theorists by the mainstream media.

Now Globe magazine has jumped into the citizenship controversy with a July 12 cover story that states, “Obama was not born in the U.S.” The supermarket tabloid may not have the best track record for accurate reporting among mainstream publications, but it does have a large circulation and its voice and what it has to say will undoubtedly bring the issue of Obama's citizenship to the attention of a lot more people and cause them to consider seriously if there is anything to it.

As Senate Democrats were forced to consider scaling back their massive federal aid and stimulus package, House Democrats threw up the white flag on passing a budget this year, announcing instead they would consider a short-term proposal that cuts spending but does nothing to tackle future deficits.

Lawmakers in both parties are increasingly wary of adding to the nation's $1.3 trillion deficit, which has forced Democratic leaders in both chambers to shrink spending bills and show concern about runaway costs.

The federal government would have “absolute power” to shut down the Internet under the terms of a new US Senate bill being pushed by Joe Lieberman, legislation which would hand President Obama a figurative “kill switch” to seize control of the world wide web in response to a Homeland Security directive.

Lieberman has been pushing for government regulation of the Internet for years under the guise of cybersecurity, but this new bill goes even further in handing emergency powers over to the feds which could be used to silence free speech under the pretext of a national emergency.

agenda.

A $13 trillion national deficit is a figure that is hard to truly grasp.

Dear Reader,

A $13 trillion national deficit is a figure that is hard to truly grasp.

This breaks down to about $118,000 per American taxpayer -- and since you aren't getting a physical bill for this 6-figure levy in the mail -- maybe you aren't feeling the effects just yet.

So let's look at it from another point of view.

Imagine you have a next-door neighbor who's racking up one big debt after another. Maybe an expensive sports car, a new pool, and an extensive debt renovation.

And all these high price tag items have been put on the Visa or Mastercard.

After less than 16 months in office president Obama has already complied quite a legacy. I certainly can’t list his many accomplishments in my blog but here a just a few that America will remember for years to come.

1. Our economy refuses to recover even as the job less rate stays near the 10% level. This is in spite of the trillion dollars spent on a so called stimulus program.

Here it is the morning after Super Tuesday and the races for the mid term elections have become much clearer. With only a few exceptions such as Arizona the races are set and now the real battle begins. The power of the Tea Party became clear even to the talking heads of the lame stream media last night yet it was also clear that they and even some at Fox news don’t yet understand who the Tea Party is or what this movement is really about.
