The NEW YORK TIMES, of all media organizations, is claiming that
Obama has “lost all credibility.”
Several Senators and Members of Congress have echoed that
sentiment. The Times added: "This
sort of tracking can reveal a lot of personal and intimate information about an
individual. To casually permit this surveillance — with the American public
having no idea that the executive branch is now exercising this power —
fundamentally shifts power between the individual and the state, and repudiates
constitutional principles governing search, seizure and privacy."
COMMENTS:
I disagree, simply on the basis that Obama never ever had any
credibility with me. In all of my blogs,
in all of my posts, I have been consistent in my criticisms and adamant as to
his lack of veracity and now, the facts are proving me to be correct. I’m not bragging here; my ego doesn’t need the
massaging. I’m simply telling it like it
is: don’t pay any attention to what he says, watch what he does. For example,
this President was on the stump prior to his first election espousing his
reasons for having the government spy and collect data on its citizens; and
now, here we are. He had no credibility to lose.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. The interesting question of the day is, why doesn’t
anyone end up getting fired over these misdoings in Washington? (Amir ~ Phoenix, AZ)
A. How can you rationalize firing someone who did what you
told them to? Obama believes in promoting people who do what he tells
them to, no matter how wrong it is. Take
Susan Rice, for example. If you fire
someone who does what they are told to do, the danger is that they will go to
the authorities and spill the beans.
Q. I hear the EPA scandal is widening. What’s new?
(Tetsuya ~ Pocatello, ID)
A. They've got a “secret” warehouse where they’ve been
storing new and unused computers, pianos and such for years. In that warehouse, certain key employees had “personal
spaces” built for them where they could store whatever they wanted at
government expense. One of their
employees, Richard Windsor, was three times awarded certificates for
outstanding ethics; the only problem is that the name is a fake, used by EPA
Director Lisa Jackson as a secret email address, evidently not subject to monitoring
or subpoena. Like the IRS, they’ve also
been stonewalling FOIA requests from conservative groups and individuals.
Q. I have this inner voice telling me that the
Administration has purposely leaked information on these scandals in order to
create a distraction from the Benghazi story.
Am I a conspiracy freak? (Dallas
~ San Diego, CA)
A. No, you are being realistic, considering the track record
of this Administration. I have insisted
in this blog and others for many months that there is serious wrongdoing
involved in the Benghazi Massacre story.
I do think that the Administration and the White House in particular is
scared beyond words over this issue.
