NO PRESIDENT IN HISTORY HAS WORKED AS HARD AS OBAMA FOR A FOREIGN
POLITICAL PARTY AS BARACK OBAMA HAS THE MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY of LA RAZA.
OBAMA HAS SQUANDERED BILLIONS
PROTECTING THE BORDERS OF MUSLIM DICTATORS OVER THERE WHILE SABOTAGING HOMELAND
SECURITY OVER THERE TO THE HORDES OF MEXICANS THAT CROSS OUR BORDERS ALONG WITH
THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS!
FROM
JUDICIAL WATCH’S 10 MOST CORRUPT:
President
Barack Obama:
Were there a "Hall of Fame" for broken promises, here is one that would get in on the first ballot: "Let me say it as simply as I can: Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency" (President Barack Obama, January 21, 2009). Instead of transparency and the rule of law over the past four years, we have witnessed the greatest expansion of government in modern political history and, consequently, an explosion of government secrecy, scandals, and abuses of power. Among the low-lights:
Were there a "Hall of Fame" for broken promises, here is one that would get in on the first ballot: "Let me say it as simply as I can: Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency" (President Barack Obama, January 21, 2009). Instead of transparency and the rule of law over the past four years, we have witnessed the greatest expansion of government in modern political history and, consequently, an explosion of government secrecy, scandals, and abuses of power. Among the low-lights:
- Illegal recess
appointments: Perhaps former Attorney General Ed Meese and Todd Graziano
summed it up best in their January 5, 2012, Washington
Post guest commentary: "President Obama's attempt to unilaterally
appoint three people to seats on the National Labor Relations Board and
Richard Cordray to head the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(after the Senate blocked action on his nomination) is more than an
unconstitutional attempt to circumvent the Senate's advice-and-consent
role. It is a breathtaking violation of the separation of powers and the
duty of comity that the executive owes to Congress."
- Illegal immigration: In
mid-June, Obama announced that by executive decree - and in apparent
violation of his oath of office - his administration would stop deporting
and begin granting work permits to younger illegal immigrants who came to
the U.S. as children. According to The
AP,
"the policy change ... bypasses Congress and partially achieves the
goals of the so-called DREAM Act, a long-sought but never enacted plan
..." Lest anyone doubt that Obama knew he was overriding the law of
the land, in March,
2011, he said,
"There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear
in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to
simply, through executive order, ignore those congressional mandates would
not conform with my appropriate role as President."
- Unprecedented secrecy: Judicial
Watch has had to file almost 1,000 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
requests and nearly 100 lawsuits against the Obama administration on
issues ranging from Obamacare to the continued funding of the criminal
ACORN network; from tracking Wall Street bailout money to the
unconstitutional use of czars; to White House visitor logs; to the attacks
on the integrity of our nation's elections. This president touts
transparency but condones law-breaking of open records laws by his
administration.
- Unconstitutional czars:
As far back as 2009, Reuters reported, "Name a top issue and
President Barack Obama has probably got a 'czar responsible for tackling
it." By the time the Judicial Watch Special Report President
Obama's Czars
was published in October 2011, the number of Obama czars had skyrocketed
to 45. Largely unconfirmed by and unaccountable to the Senate, many of
Obama's czars are often outside the reach of FOIA. Some of these
czars exercise unprecedented and unconstitutional control over major
aspects of government policy and programs. And a number of the czars have
been linked to scandals, thefts and kickbacks, flagrant and offensive
statements, conflicts of interest, and radical leftist political
ideologies and policies.
- Use of Executive
Privilege to protect Eric Holder: On June
20, 2012, Barack Obama acquiesced to a plea from Attorney General Eric
Holder and asserted "executive privilege" to protect the
Attorney General
from being prosecuted for failing to provide Congress with Fast and
Furious documents. On March 22, 2011, when asked by a Univision
TV if
he had been informed of the Holder gunrunning program, Obama bluntly
stated, "Absolutely not. This is a pretty big government, the United
States government. I've got a lot of moving parts." So, as Judge
Andrew Napolitano said on Fox
News,
"They can't have it both ways. If the President was not personally
involved, executive privilege does not apply." To this day,
President Obama refuses to detail the specific documents he is withholding
from Congress.
The
list could go on ad infinitum - with Benghazigate, bailouts, abusing the
perks of office for luxury vacations for his family, and, of course, his
personal involvement in the Solyndra scandal. But the bottom line is this: The
federal government under Barack Obama is off the rails and out of control. And
now, with Obama having been given the "flexibility" of a second term,
it can only be expected to get worse.
