A Sorry Excuse of a President

UPDATE: Wednesday evening president Obama went before the cameras huffing and puffing about the IRS scandal, putting on an "I'm pissed off" performance and vowing to get to the bottom of who, what, why, when, where and how it all took place.  He immediately announced the resignation (code for firing) of acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller, as if to say 'I'm on top of this.' 
Well...as it turns out, this giving Steven Miller the axe was grandstanding at best. Mr. Miller is "acting" commissioner, and as "acting" commissioner, his tenure in the position is limited to a certain amount of time. As it turns out, Mr. Miller's time as "acting" commissioner expires next month!!! The president either has to then to name Miller the commissioner or name someone else. So, in effect, Obama did nothing!  This dog and pony show in which Obama acted out of sorts over the IRS targeting conservative groups was just that....a dog and pony show.




I remember all the hoopla back in November of 2008 when Barack Obama descended from the heavens and was elected president of the United States . It was "the second coming," he was "the Messiah," he was going to right the country with is mantra of "Hope and Change." What we got was....a sorry excuse of a president. 

In Mr. Obama we have a president who:

• is inexperienced
• does not know how to govern
• is not a leader
• is driving the country toward economic failure
• has put the country on a path to socialized medicine
• has wasted billions of tax dollars on failed "stimulus" programs
• has overseen the loss of millions of jobs
• appears hell bent on seeing that the United States is no longer the world's super power

...and the list goes on. During his first four years in office, every ill was blamed on the previous administration, the GOP and conservatives. They are to blame for his programs of failure being failures. Now, into his second term, he still refuses to take any responsibility for the country's problems. 

 His administration is embroiled in a host of controversies and scandals and the blame game is still in play. 

Benghazi, Libya, the scene of a terrorist attack that took the lives of four Americans - he's finding blame everywhere but where it belongs, on his desk and that of his then secretary of state. He blames the Republicans calling the investigations a sideshow. Not sure the families of those who died under his watch would call it a sideshow. They deserve answers as do the rest of us, but through a cover up contrived by the president and others, answers are not forthcoming.

The IRS went after hundreds (last count was 500) of conservative groups, tying up their tax exempt status applications for months on end while liberal applications sailed through the process unquestioned. Using a government agency to intimidate your political rivals is an impeachable offense. The president claims he knew nothing about it. The IRS has admitted the wrong doing and the president says IF the IRS did the dastardly deed he would get to the bottom if it. There is no IF, Mr.President. They admitted doing it!

The Department of Justice confiscated the phone records, both business and personal, of Associated Press reporters to find out the leak of an investigation DOJ was conducting. Again, the president claims to be unaware of what was going on. Attorney General Eric Holder has also publicly stated he is clueless.

This is a corrupt, inept, inefficient and out of control government with a man sitting in the Oval Office that has no business being there. Mr. Obama needs to put on his big boy pants and  quickly get over his "I'm not at fault so don't blame me" attitude and start accepting responsibility for his administration's actions.  Quit passing the buck, Mr. President...Harry Truman didn't.

The world is watching.
