Obama in comparison to…

Good day all. With the recent list of scandals coming out of the Obama regime growing by the day, people have started making comparisons to other administrations.

Originally, thanks to Der Fubar’s utter incompetence, for the last few years he was being compared to Jimmy Carter, and not in a postie way. Now, especially with the IRS scandal blowing up around him, Obama is starting to be compared with the most corrupt president in U.S. History, Richard M. Nixon.

Real Clear Politics, in an article titled Richard Milhous Obama connect the dots.

He’s compared himself to Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt, evoked nostalgia for John F. Kennedy, sought to emulate Ronald Reagan, (belatedly) praised George W. Bush, and enlisted the assistance of Bill Clinton in his 2012 re-election effort, but as his second term stumbles along, the president with whom Barack Obama finds himself being compared is Richard M. Nixon.

Obama comparing himself to some of the greatest presidents in American history, (and frankly, a few not so great), is par for the course. In his state of mind, (Delusional), he thinks he’s up there with Washington and Lincoln.

I can’t help but think that Nixon and Obama have more in common than either man’s devotees might imagine.

Richard Milhous Nixon was thin-skinned, felt persecuted by the opposition party, had a penchant for classifying political adversaries — and journalists — as “enemies,” and tried to control his image so fiercely that, ultimately, zealous aides committed illegal acts to further his re-election.

But even before that had happened — and before Nixon himself began directing a coverup — truth had become a casualty of his administration. This is the parallel between Richard Nixon and Barack Obama.

Nixon had his enemies list and he did try to get the IRS to go after them. He failed with that plan. Obama’s IRS did go after Obama’s enemies to the point of releasing documents illegally. Both Nixon and Obama have gone after the news media. There is one big difference though. The Main Stream Media hated Nixon. Today, they will lick Obama’s testicles if asked. Even with the probably illegal actions taken by the Justice Department against AP and Fox News, most of the media will never admit that Obama is a crook and a thug.

No evidence has been unearthed connecting Obama, or anyone under his direction, to illicit activities. But the absence of criminality isn’t the only test here. Nixon’s “enemies,” at least in his mind, also included vast swaths of the Fourth Estate. That apparently is how the current president operates, too.

Barack Obama often displays contempt for the proper role of news-gatherers and, by extension, for the value of reporting that seeks to be unbiased. Often, officials in his White House or re-election campaign seem uncomprehending of the concept of straight reporting.

As I mentioned, Obama has been the virtual nonstop recipient of the greats media tongue bath in history. (Outside of any totalitarian regime that is)

Those who work for this president have a fetish for stage managing the news. They never simply trust the facts; or maybe a better way of saying it is that they don’t trust the American people to be able to handle the facts. Washington has been consumed in recent weeks about who, exactly, massaged the administration’s “talking points” on Benghazi.

Four government officials were killed and a U.S. facility was attacked. Yes, some Republicans wanted to use that for partisan gain, but most Americans simply wanted to know what happened, and why. They still have not been told.

And as far as Obama and his sycophants in the Congress and Media, we never will be told.

Concerning the IRS scandal, there is no evidence that Obama unleashed tax collectors on opponents, as Nixon did. But after years of comparing congressional Republicans to terrorists and hostage-takers, and characterizing the Tea Party as racists and extremists, what message did the president or the leaders of his party think they were sending IRS managers?

The IRS scandal is something that every American can get their teeth into. Of late, it’s beginning to look like Obama did know what was going on and rather then confront it, he suppressed it.

On June 29, 1972, Nixon was talking to Henry Kissinger in a taped conversation about the Democratic Party platform. “These people are so revolting that they have to be smashed,” Nixon tells his national security adviser.

“I don’t mean just beat them,” Nixon adds. “It’s good to beat them. But I mean smashed. They must be, they must be, disgraced, driven right out of public life.”

No tapes are available to know how Obama speaks about Republicans in private. But tonally, he’s not that much different from Nixon when speaking in public. Last week, even after the Benghazi, IRS, and AP controversies crested on the White House steps, Obama found time to blame Republicans at a New York fundraiser.

“What’s blocking us right now is a sort of hyper-partisanship in Washington that I was, frankly, hoping to overcome in 2008,” the president said. “My thinking was when we beat them in 2012, that might break the fever, and it’s not quite broken yet. But I am persistent. And I am staying at it. … If there are folks who are more interested in winning elections than they are thinking about the next generation, then I want to make sure there are consequences to that.”

That describes the Democrats and also a few RINO’s as well. All they care about is keeping their fart butts in those congressional seats. To continue…

Get all that? The Republicans don’t merely have a difference of opinion with the president. They are rabid, and craven, and willing to sacrifice their own children’s futures to win elections. This Nixon-esque attitude constitutes a toxic brew: whining, boasting, and name-calling all overlaid with persecution-complex and a profound contempt for his opponents — along with a determination to make them pay.

Obama lives by the creed of the Progressive Liberal Democrat. Compromise means doing what I tell you to do. He’s just not at all subtle about it. Anyone who stands in his way is to be utterly destroyed. Now, Politics is not bean ball, it’s a blood sport. However, there are lines that politicians do not cross. Letting four people die when there was a chance to save them is one. Another is trying to use the IRS to go after your political enemies. Both sides know that if this is allowed to happen, they could be in the gun sights in the next administration.

Now a lot of people are trying to walk back any comparison of Nixon to Obama. One is Senator John McCain. This isn’t surprising since McCain has proven to be a classic Big Government RINO. According to the Boston Herald:

U.S. Sen. John McCain bucked the party line coming from many of his fellow conservatives this morning, saying suggestions that compare the trio of scandals gripping the White House to Watergate are “overreaching.”

“I think it’s overreaching. We need a full and complete investigation and then we will decide the dimensions of it,” said McCain while campaigning for Republican Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez in Dorchester. “It is terrible but we have to have a full investigation before we leap to conclusions.”

McCain is one of those “Republicans” that don’t mind being in the minority as long as they can have all their privileges. As to honest government, the Constitution and the American people? Well, maybe he and the others might talk to them….provided they go through delousing and a full decontamination protocol first.

The maverick’s caution is a sharp contrast to the response of many Republicans who have been eager to tie Obama to the Nixon-era coverup.

Maverick. More like stuck up sanctimonious hypocrite if you ask me. He’s another silver spoon twerp who thinks the world owes him. So you got shot down, captured and tortured, So were a number of other pilots. You aren’t special.

McCain also downplayed his ties to Washington, D.C., during the rally and called Gomez a bipartisan pol needed to bring balance in the Senate.

“I’m here because I believe in this young man,” he said. “The one thing we need in Washington more than anything else is bipartisanship.”

McCain’s idea of “Bipartisanship” is why we’re in the mess we’re in now. His latest “Bipartisan” plan is the “Gang of Eight” Illegal Alien amnesty program he and the others in Congress are trying to ram through. McCain will, like Obama, always put himself first and the country second…or third. When he retired from the Navy, he should have just written his memoirs and faded away.

Now there is one big difference between the Watergate scandal and the current crop of lies, deceit and intrigues coming out of King Putts regime. No one dies in the Watergate scandal. To date we have six confirmed Americans killed, (Two due to Fast & Furious, four in Benghazi), and hundreds of Mexican men, women and children dead. (Fast & Furious)

When the articles of impeachment were drawn up against Nixon, one of them dealt with his attempts to use the IRS against those he perceived as his enemies. What is any different with Obama doing the same thing, and far more successfully? You have to wonder what would the results have been if the Tea party and other groups the Obama Regime went after hadn’t been bogged down with the requests for minutia the IRS isn’t even supposed to be asking for? Might their “Get out the Vote” have been more successful? Would we be talking about President (shudder), Romney?

We may never know. Why I do know is we need to get a special prosecutor going looking into all of these scandals. I’m no fan of these prosecutors. They have a tendency to run out of control with little or no oversight. Make sure they can’t run amok and turn them loose. I’m of the opinion that where’s there’s this much smoke, we have a massive fire hidden behind it.
