Obama's scandals

[jefboyardee]

Obama embraces role as consoler in chief to remain above the fray

The trip comes as his administration faces tough questions over a trio of controversies: the IRS political targeting scandal, the Justice Department’s leak probes and the handling of the Benghazi mission attack.

And another:

Obama: We’ll Be There for Folks of ‘Monroe, Oklahoma.’

Nixon and Obama, their explanations are the same

I really hope that soon the impeachment process will begin and Obama will just do the right thing for America and resign. That is the only thing Nixon did that Obama hasn't done yet when dealing with their crimes.

Well, maybe if you feel you can't trust your presidents abandon you should abandon the executive presidential system.

Only if he is guilty and meets the requirements for impeachment and as long as you can get the House to agree to it.

Impeachment is not the grand thing you seem to think it is. It really damages the country.

Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment, Provisions in the Constitution that are Relevant to Impeachment and Past Impeachment Inquiries

I would agree its not some grand thing........ but it doesnt really "damage" the country.... at least not any worse that what it already is

at most is causes a lot of gridlock and fighting in Congress...... which we already have

at least it didnt do any "damage" when Clinton was impeached......... if anything it was taken as more of a joke....... and he wears it as a badge of honor

 

[chrlswltrs]

I don't think it is something grand, but when you have a President like Obama that is hell bent on destroying the country and has a King complex it really is the best thing for the country. Plus, with an impeachment maybe that would wake up a lot more Americans that will care about who they are voting for and not vote for such a corrupt POS again. Then we wouldn't need to worry about repeating this situation for another 16-20 years until everyone forgets again.

Yes, the past 16 years of those in office have been terrible for the country! I really don't think it will get any better.

No, just the last 13 years. I still have a glimmer of hope in this country that we can recover from this.

Obama Job Approval Tumbles in Wake of White House Scandals

In all honesty, I am surprised enough people are actually paying attention to impact job approval. I sincerely thought the public at large just wasn't as engaged.

I don't care which side of the aisle you are on, it is a good thing when we collectively pay attention.

I'm watching the testimonies right now on the IRS scandal. Things are getting really bad, really fast!

No doubt.

Sadly, we will likely learn about the other stuff a few years down the road. My faith is rapidly dissipating. Anyone got some land for sale in the deep woods?

Benghazi-gate
IRS-gate
Ap/Foxnews-gate
EPA-gate.

This all smells of the Chicago political machine rearing its ugly head after 5 years. You can hide corruption, but you can't hide the stink!

seems this writer had the exact same sentiment....

Obama's Chicago Way

 

[jefboyardee]

I grew up just west of Chicago in the sixties, so even though I was too little to understand, there was no end of Chicago Politics, with Richard M Daley signs on the freeway and ugly stories on the news... and these days don’t seem much different.

 

[reefrecon]

maybe if the uninformed voters would of gotten off their ass and voted we would not be where we are now.

 

[jefboyardee]

Personally, I think too many uninformed voters did get off their ass and too many informed voters didn’t.

And yesterday. Holder says he has no intention of resigning. Obama promotes Susan Rice (the face of the Benghazi lie) to be his National Security Advisor.

There is so much corruption coming forward that it is so difficult to keep up with :ahhhhh:

Burglars stole three computers and broke into the firm's file cabinets. But silver bars, video equipment and other valuables were left untouched

And that's not suspicious. I just hope they had an offsite backup.

" ... Campaign watchdogs say those groups have flouted the law, which says 501(c)(4) groups can't make politics their "primary purpose." Watchdogs have demanded that the IRS and the Federal Election Commission crack down on these nonprofits for spending too much time and money on politics.

Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code defines tax-exempt social welfare groups as:


"Civic leagues or organizations not organized for profit but operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare."


In 1959 the IRS interpreted "exclusively" as meaning

I'm watching the testimonies right now on the IRS scandal. Things are getting really bad, really fast!

Here is the transcripts of the Hearing: IRS Scandal: Top Democrat Releases Interview To Prove Scandal Not Politically Motivated - Full Transcript

The only scandal is the IRS budget was cut so drastically that 501(c)(4) application approvals were delayed.
