The presidency: Latest in long line

0

It’s highly interesting and maybe a bit frightening to hear President Barack Obama’s administration suggest that the horrific and deadly attack eight months ago in Benghazi “was a long time ago” and that the Internal Revenue Service probes of conservative political-interest groups were the travails of a few “rogues.” Neither was on point.

Late last month there was a vehement verbal volley between White House spokesman Jay Carney and Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, one during which Issa labeled Carney “a paid liar.” Well, is he? Who knows? We know this much from history: Both sides of the aisle are adept at talking out of both sides of their respective mouths. Sometimes it’s too much, or too little, to believe. We do suppose, however, that a rising tide is heading toward the White House.

It’s patently shameful that the American voters have reduced the presidency to what it has become. It didn’t happen all at once through Obama’s residency in Washington. His camp’s effort is the latest in a long, saddening line of presidential failures. Bonus:  More than a lifetime of angst dosed by Congress, which continues to look for ways to spend our money and does. Really, if you think about it when watching Obama tell Americans, “I didn’t know about that,” it’s totally believable; we don’t believe he’s lying. Therefore, he is the Bystander President. And this takes us back to the American voter, whose due diligence was not done with respect this administration or, really, any administration since the days of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower – except, maybe, for that of Ronald Reagan.

The two parties are incapable of running this nation to effect the well-oiled superpower it should be. Until a viable third party gains momentum and becomes coast-to-coast meaningful, we’re getting and stepping in exactly that which we deserve.
