I have to admit that I did watch the film entitled 2016: Obama’s America, produced and directed by Dinesh D’Souza. He uh, also had a starring role. I thought it was well done, but typical political fare. The man does know how to manage expenses. While I didn’t learn anything new about Obama in the video, I’m quite sure that there were those who did learn something. The way I view this is simple: D’Souza did after 2008 what the press should have done before 2008.
But now D’Souza is in trouble for alleged violations of the campaign finance laws in the 2012 US Senate race in New York. I have no idea what he did, or even if he did it. What does concern me is that some GOP senators are claiming that D’Souza is a target of politically motivated prosecution —in some circles known as malicious prosecution. This is getting to be business as usual in the Obama administration.
Still, in trying to maintain an even keel, my gut feeling is that D’Souza should have anticipated this, unless he happens to buy in to the somewhat weak proposition that IRS persecution of conservative 501(c) organizations was merely a few bad eggs in Cincinnati. Personally, I don’t buy it, but I know that almost everyone on the left, who concomitantly suffers from socialist encephalitis, swears on a stack of bibles that it’s true. I laugh every time I imagine liberals getting within a mile of a Bible.
The problem, or so it seems, is that the person who is prosecuting D’Souza is Preet Bharara, US Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Bharara is an Obama appointee, an inaugural donor, and a politician who imagines himself as the slayer of Wall Street dragons. I wonder if that would include Franklin Raines or Barney Frank. And he, much like Anthony the Weiner, cut his teeth while on bended knee in front of Her Majesty Chuck Schumer, and is now a top prospect for Attorney General in a Clinton administration. God forbid.
Of greater interest is the fact that Bharara may be in line to replace Eric Holder, should God intervene in advance of the end of Obama’s term. And uh, Bharara is the weenie that cried like a baby when Attorney General Gonzales fired a host of retired on active duty federal attorneys.
So anyway, that’s the news about your corrupt Democratic government. But heck, D’Souza probably had it coming anyway. Oh, which reminds me, whatever happened to Jon Corzine?

Excellent post Sam..
ReplyDeleteAlthough Obama "claims to be a constitutional scholar" notice I used the word "Claims", however, he has never published a single scholarly article or book, although he was a lecturer at the University of Chicago. He subscribes to the Progressive liberal view that the Constitution “ is not a static but rather a living document, and must be read in the context of an ever changing world.” Got a problem with the Constitution? - USATODAY.com.
The resume of the President with the thinnest record of achievement of any modern President, got even thinner.
This is just one more instance of Government Gone Wild. If you are rich, you can buy your way out of anything. If you piss off the current regime, you get the cudgel and the full force of the "law" crashing down on you.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pay to play system, and America has the biggest, baddest government money can buy.
Both parties do it. It's just that Obama's people are particularly eager and ham-handed about it, too stupid or too arrogant to mask their actions like sneaky pols always tried to do in the past.
I hate to sound like a broken record, but I invite everyone to read up on Argentina's decline from great nation to basket case that took place in the 20th century. We are on the same trajectory, for many of the same reasons.
Let's see, poor little Dinesh is under Criminal investigation.
ReplyDeleteSam will now produce anyone involved in the so-called IRS scandal who was under Criminal investigation.
We can move on to Wall St. bankers later.
Regarding the fired AG's. It is common practice t replace the AG's when the administration changes.
ReplyDeleteObama replaced far fewer attorneys than his predecessors. Several conservative AG's stayed.
If you think the Obama administration is bad, just wait until the *cow pies in this country get around to electing Hillary to the White House--you haven't seen anything yet.
ReplyDelete* It was not my intention to embarrass or in any way demean cow pies.
I must agree with Mustang. Obama's greatest sin isn't that he's doing something new or different than past presidents, he's not. He's just doing it very poorly and ham-handed and he's staffed himself with clumsy, wild-eyed ideologues, ignorant buffoons and inexperience weasels who, like him, have never run so much as a lemonade stand.
ReplyDeleteMy friend Hector who runs his own mobile taco and burrito stand is more qualified to be president than Obama. Hector definitely understand the constitution better!
But wait 'till the Clinton Machine retakes power (and my prediction is it will). You will see progressive statism rammed through with cold, steely precision, all covered with the velvet schmoozing and spoonful of honey that makes it all go down. You'll see GOP legislative 'victories' that are nothing more than a sop to their pride and a thinly-disguised bribe to go along to get along.
