Obama’s Predictable Scandals

[Mister D]

he media finally conceded the Obama administration to be inexperienced and inept, reminiscent of the Carter administration — but, they maintained, not possibly involved in any corruption. Then suddenly scandals erupted on nearly every conceivable front: the crony-capitalist half-billion-dollar loan guarantee to a now bankrupt Solyndra; the Fast and Furious gun deal, in which, in lunatic fashion, the U.S. government sold deadly automatic weapons to Mexican drug-cartel killers; the administration’s pressure on a four-star general to fudge his testimony as a favor to a big campaign donor whose suspect company, LightSquared, was doing business with the Pentagon; and the politically inspired dropping of investigations by the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department.

These news items need to be more widely reported. I am stunned it is not front page top headline news. There's a lot going on here.

Yep, but in some areas it seems the media (really people in general) delight in tearing a guy down even more than building him up.

True but t hat would make them look even more ridiculous. I thin they are sensitive about this. They compromised themselves during the lection and I think they know it. They were more than prepared to accept that as long as their boy was elected. But he hasn't delivered. Yeah, I know. Understatement of the year.
