Still Crazy (on him) After All These (Lies)?

(With apologies to Heart and Paul Simon...)

Sadly, I know the answer to this question. No matter what he does, doesn't do, says, retracts, lies about, distorts, Barack Obama can do no wrong. 

I still remember the argument (yes, sadly, argument) between me and a family member after the election. I was (sad shocked depressed upset) about Mitt Romney's loss and s/he called to "see if I was OK" (so condescendingly kind of this person to call). Rather than be gracious and knowing I would be picking a fight, I said "nope," and then went full frontal assault. This had the desired effect of putting this relative on the defense, which quickly mutated to offense, at one point declaring that he/she was "further to the left than Obama." 

Further to the left of the most leftist president we've ever had? Maybe this was said to score points, or as a barb, meant to hurt. Logistically it puzzled me. There's not much room to the left of Obama, yet there, triumphantly, smugly, perched this family member. 

Needless to say, the "conversation" (such as it was), ended in short order. Yes, I called back a few minutes later to apologize, and all is well and forgiven though surely not forgotten. 

At least I have not forgotten. How far left can these people go before they realize how truly corrupt and unscrupulous their guy is? 

"The most transparent administration" is . . . not, at least according to Katherine Meyer, a Washington D. C. lawyer who specializes in the Freedom of Information Act law. Here's what she said a year ago (quoted here in Politico): 
Obama is the sixth administration that’s been in office since I’ve been doing Freedom of Information Act work … It’s kind of shocking to me to say this, but of the six, this administration is the worst on FOIA issues. The worst. There’s just no question about it. This administration is raising one barrier after another … It’s gotten to the point where I’m stunned — I’m really stunned" (Read full article here).
Jack Gillum of the Associated Press (posted here at Breitbart.com) reports that high level members of the Obama administration are using "secret government email accounts they say are necessary to prevent their in-boxes from being overwhelmed with unwanted messages." 

How convenient. Not only are their in-boxes clear of annoying clutter, they're also free from annoying scrutiny. Gillum writes: 
The secret email accounts complicate an agency's legal responsibilities to find and turn over emails in response to congressional or internal investigations, civil lawsuits or public records requests because employees assigned to compile such responses would necessarily need to know about the accounts to search them. Secret accounts also drive perceptions that government officials are trying to hide actions or decisions.
So despite claims to the contrary, Barack Obama's administration is the least transparent administration (hello, liberals, are you listening? This includes Richard Nixon's). You'd think this would be enough to give any well-meaning liberal pause, but no. It seems nothing can dim the sheen off their adored president: Fast and Furious, multiple terrorist attacks on our soil, drone attacks on U.S. citizens, IRS bullying of conservative Americans, intrusion on the right of the press to do their job, the still unresolved mystery that terrible night in Benghazi on the anniversary of 9 /11 when four Americans were killed and ODL (our dear leader) was AWOL. And let's not forget the "Affordable" (hahahaha) Care Act, which will be impossible to implement, especially in California, and is based on untruths and manipulation of data (see Wall Street Journal article, "ObamaCare Bait and Switch" here). 

Doesn't matter! They voted for him! He's their guy! So, even though Barack Obama is deceptive, duplicitous, arrogant, condescending, narcissistic, and political in the truly worst sense of the word...they're still crazy on him.
