I AM NOT A CROOK
How Obama has enhanced the legacy of all previous presidents.
The video of Nixon proclaiming “I am not a crook” and the one of Clinton proclaiming “I did not have sex with that woman” are both events that will live in infamy. Jimmy Carter has always been considered by most informed Americans to be as the worst president in American history. They are all three now off the hook.
I need not spend much time on the failure of Obama as president. His tenure has been a failure on every measurable level. So much so, in fact, that some of the staunchest, most respected liberal Democrats and Democratic supporters have not only openly criticized him – some almost as harshly as I have – but they have called for him to step down.
Nixon lied in an attempt to protect his crew that actually committed the crime, and Clinton lied in an attempt to save his own butt. I totally agree that there are no excuses for doing what they did, but I do understand their rationales for lying. As for Carter, I have always believed he tried his best. He simply wasn’t cut out to be POTUS. He probably should have stuck with peanut farming and stayed out of politics.
But in the case of Obama, he lies because he is a liar. He doesn’t only lie to cover his misdeeds – he lies to get his way. He lies to belittle others and to make himself look presentable at their expense. He lies about his faith, his associations, his mother, his father and his wife. He lies and bullies to keep his background secret.
Many in America wanted to be proud when the first person of color was elected president, but instead, they have been witness to a congenital liar, a woman who has been ashamed of America her entire life, failed policies, intimidation and a commonality hitherto not witnessed in political leaders. He and his wife view their life at our expense as an entitlement – while America’s people go homeless, hungry and unemployed.
You know that Barack Obama is in trouble when even the Congressional Black Caucus begins to criticize him. Maxine Waters (D-CA) recently said that the Congressional Black Caucus is “frustrated” with regard to unemployment, a problem that has hit blacks harder than whites. The only thing holding them back from being more vocal, said Waters, was its fear they will lose the support of the black community.
The worst may be yet to come. Many experts are convinced the “birth certificate” is a fake. If that is ever proven to be true, it may very well be that he was never eligible for the office in the first place. Regardless of how that pans out, the legacy of Carter, Nixon, and Clinton will forever pale in comparison to that of Barack Hussein Obama.
