The List is Growing.  I am not fan of Barrack Obama; his behavior, his ethics, and his performance.  I am not a huge fan of the Republican Party either; but it is presently the lesser of two poor choices.  I feared that a second Obama administration would feel so empowered by hubris that they would veer into dangerous territory regarding executive actions.  Unfortunately, recent news developments indicate that the veering began well before the second-term election.   Let us count four of the ways.
An amateur YouTube filmmaker is dragged out of his home by gray shirts in the middle of the night (yes…this is literal) under the guise that he is primarily to blame for the Benghazi attacks.  Now it has become clear that not only was he not the primary cause of this tragedy, but this Administration knew that from the beginning and fabricated/nourished this fairy tale to purposely mislead the American public; with, I might add, the mainstream media (Candy Crowley anyone?) on board as co-conspirators.  This should not only alarm any sane person concerned about citizens’ rights in the country, but is also indicates a severe lack of awareness or concern by this Administration about honestly, ethics, and morals.
This Administration (and their Fed puppet master) continues to prop up this economy with federal hiring, federal spending, and massive currency pumping.  How long the bubble can be maintained is anyone’s guess, but the longer we wait for the “pop”, the worse the implications will be.  Once again, go to any mainstream media outlet and you see the rosiest spin possible on any economy-related number, while fostering a veil of self-denial for the darkness coming that is hidden in any reasonable analysis of the data.
Obamacare continues to accrue baggage as it stumbles towards some type of implementation.  So far, the baggage has been invisible to the public because it is primarily behind the scenes and mostly associated with preparation for upcoming events.  However, once those upcoming events become reality, the true suffering and economic damage from this colossal legislative blunder will become all too apparent to the nation as a whole.  Putting this big, fat genie back in the bottle will be a task that will be monumentally difficult, but equally unavoidable.  The ultimate tragedy is that so much of the bill’s content could have been accomplished in a deliberate, intelligent, and bipartisan fashion had this Administration been willing to spend a bit of political capital and place a portion of its gargantuan ego in the back seat.
And now comes the coup de gras; we find that the IRS, leading up to the last election cycle, was targeting conservative organizations in an adverse fashion.  This belated confession comes with the qualifier that it was done without political motivation, but what other possible, conceivable explanation could there be?  Of course it was done for political reasons.  If the use of such a powerful and omnipresent federal agency as the IRS by a sitting Administration for naked political gain does not concern you, then you are a great candidate for Soviet or Chinese citizenship.
History will record that this is not only one of the worst Administrations in history based on its accomplishments, but it appears quite likely that it will also go down as one of the most ethically and morally bankrupt Administrations this county has ever known.  And when that chapter is written, those self-professed guardians of the truth, known as the mainstream media, should have co-billing right along with them.
