“This is the most transparent Administration in history.”
Barack Obama; White House “Fireside Hangout” hosted on line by Google, February 13th, 2013
As Saturday Night Live’s would be newscaster, Seth Meyers, would say in reply, “REALLY, Mr. President!”
One of the most basic tenets of good leadership is maintaining--nay,
demanding--timely communications with one’s subordinates up and down the
chain of command.
A good leader will have a well promulgated standing policy in place
that his/her subordinates will instantly communicate anything that could
possibly bring embarrassment to the organization or to the leader. A
good leader should never be surprised.
That Barack Obama would like Americans to believe he knew nothing
about the IRS targeting conservative groups..”I first learned about this
from the same news reports that I think most people learned about
them”...he simply confirms our growing suspicians that his leadership is
seriously lacking, OR that he commands no loyalty from his
subordinates, OR that his operating MO is to insure denyability of any
wrongdoing, OR that he is simply lying. Yes, lying, not mis-speaking,
not skirting the truth, but flat out lying...like it or not.
Good leaders meet controversy head on and stay out ahead of it, but
Mr. Obama, is in such a state of denial he lies even when the truth
would serve him better. He is currently so overwhelmed by scandals on
every side to the point of near helplessness, all to the worsening
plight of our economy, our foreign policy, our national security, and
certainly our confidence in government. As the President himself
recently prophisized, “when we lose faith in our government, then we
have problems”. REALLY, Mr President!
The whys and wherefores of the Benghazi tragedy are still the subject
of an “ongoing investigation” and cannot be discussed; not even the
President’s and Secretary of State’s whereabouts throughout that evening
after leaving the White House ops center and her State Dept office
respectively early on while our Ambassador and three other Americans
were murdered by Islamic terrorists, none of whom have been “brought to
justice” as our President promised...but then what’s just another
Presidential promise?
In the meantime the leadership of the Justice Department and the IRS
mirror the style of their Supreme Leader, Mr Obama himself. Lois Lerner,
who headed the Non Profits division of the IRS which targeted only conservative
groups seeking non profit status refused to testify to a congressional
hearing by pleading the Fifth Amendment, a rarely used tactic to avoid
incrimination. Her lawyer swears she is innocent of any wrong-doing so one wonders just whom she is protecting.
Eric Holder, the President’s old Chicago Mafia buddy whom he
appointed US Attorney General continues his lying habits to Congress by
denying any knowlege of or role in the unconstitutional persecution of
Newsman James Rosen, which transcripts show he clearly did. He has
previously lied under oath about the DOJ process resulting in not
prosecuting Black Panthers for flagrant voter intimidation in the
election of 2008. He also denyed any knowlege of the ill fated “Fast and
Furious” DOJ program shipping guns to Mexico hoping to follow their
trail to Cartel kingpins. DOJ records revealed Holder did in fact know
of the program. One of the guns was traced to the incident in which
Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed.
Our President is currently watching the riots in Turkey directed
against Prime Minister Erdogan who is inexorably (like a frog in
gradually boiling water) leading his country (and our NATO ally) toward a
more rigid form of anti American Islam. Yet he continues to praise
Erdogan as “one of America’s closest friends”. Sayonara Egypt...and soon
Turkey. Great foreign policy!
And in the background of all this is the continuing saga of the Fort
Hood terrorist attack (since 2009) by Major Nidal Hasan, who says he was
acting in defense of the Taliban. Yet Obama, in deference to his
affinity for Islam, continues to call it “workplace violence”, and
refuses to put a stop to Hasan’s Army pay, by now in the hundreds of
thousands. Must be of great comfort to the families and friends of the
13 innocents slaughtered by Hasan.
We have a “Leader” who refuses to hold anyone accountable for anything...including himself.
