Nixonian: Obama's Government Runs Historically Amok, Harassing Organizations with Which It Disagrees, Perpetrating "Unprecedented" Secret Seizures of Media Phone Records, and Continuing Its Outright Lying About the Response to the 9-11 Benghazi Terrorist Attack...





Of course, Obama and his minions deny until the cows come home any direct involvement or culpability in these stories, but I have little doubt their slimy little fingerprints are all over them.  Involved, after all, are Obama's Justice Department, Obama's State Department, Obama's CIA, and the same IRS tasked with being the "enforcer" for Obama's Obamacare. But Obama claims, "I don't know nothing, I just work here!" R-I-G-H-T!

Over the past four-plus years, I've repeatedly pointed out examples (and before anyone else out there made the observation) of how Obama, his administration, and his federal government agencies have pulled off the best impersonation of the ol' Tricky Dick Nixon Administration since, well, that very same administration.  There have been a steady stream of examples, but never quite this sleazy, meaning three instances all in the same damn week!

To wit over the past week:

-Revelations of widespread IRS harassment and targeting of groups having political views with which Obama and his fellow leftist 20 percenters disagree.  This includes viewpoints such as the merits of limiting the size of the federal government and national debt, the desire to improve the performance of the federal government, the virtues of teaching people more about the U.S. Constitution, the expression of pro-Israeli sentiments, and the use of the term "patriot." Gee -- can't have any of those things, now can we?!?  Louts.

-The Associated Press' story yesterday that Obama's Justice Department (under the direction of shameful Obama appointee Eric Holder) has conducted a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" into the press activities of a news organization (the AP), including secret seizures of the telephone records of over 100 AP reporters and editors.  Imagine any gop-er president's agency doing that. It would be Game-Over for that gop-er president (and likely rightfully so).

-The Benghazi "whistleblower" hearings, in which it has become even more irrefutable that Obama's flunkies (next-president-in-waiting Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, etc.) told bald-faced lies to the American people last year when they claimed for weeks that some obscure anti-Islamic YouTube video had caused a "spontaneous" attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya (resulting in the rape and murder of the U.S. Ambassador and the murders of several other Americans) when, in fact, it was very clearly (and known from the start to be) a well-choreographed Al Qaeda attack having nothing to do with "The Video." Even now, and in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Obama's acolytes (see Obama press slug Jay Carney) still claim they were just spouting information fed to them by the CIA back then and that they did absolutely nothing to influence that completely false narrative.  Joseph Goebbels might be proud, if only the lying wasn't so sophomoric.

As I've asserted for multiple years, Obama and his rogues aren't just garden-variety slimes and skunks; rather, and much more significantly, these scaly individuals (including His Majesty himself) are downright scary liars (with a huge authoritarian streak) who pose direct threats to the political, economic and informational freedoms that Americans have so long enjoyed. They're Nixon. And no better.

But what makes Obama and Company arguably even much more dangerous than Nixon on his worst day is the fact that Obama does not have an "R" next to his name.  If he was a gop-er, he would be so Gones-Ville right about now (and I'd fully support that) for all this wholly un-American, totalitarian crap. But with a heavily left-leaning and advocacy-driven "mainstream" media to back (or, where convenient, to ignore or downplay) Obama and his lackeys' every move, they get away with these disgusting sorts of nefarious shenanigans almost all the time. An historic presidency, indeed.
