The Unaccountable Presidency

During his first 4 years, President Obama blamed former Pres. Bush for all the economic problems, rising debt, job losses, high employment and lack of mortgage loans, among other things. 

Now for the beginning of his 2nd term, Obama can now blame the Republicans, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and other conservative voices.  It seems that this man cannot take responsibility for anything and must blame someone else for all his shortcomings.  Even Sequester, that is well documented he instituted, he now blames Republicans who protect the rich and want to screw the middle class.  Of course the recent tax increase in January did screw the middle class, but Obama escapes that by blaming the Republicans.  As long as the mainstream news media protects this president from any fault for this disaster this country is going through, he will slide through another 4 years as the citizens slide further into debt and the country into recession.  But, we all know that Obama will not be accuse of any wrongdoing.  The news media is the protector of our constitution and when they are complicit in what this administration does, the constitution becomes meaningless.  However, what the news media does not realize, no matter how much they endorse Obama's recklessness and lies, eventually, as we slip into a socialist/Marxist/communist society, the news media will become a threat to his administration and they will be silenced.  Remember the poem by Pastor Niemoller who escaped persecutiion by the Nazis: 

First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. 

And now a new play on this by yours truly. 

First they came for those who disagreed with them and I did not speak out because I did not disagree with the administration. 

Then they came after Fox news and I did not speak out because I did not watch Fox news. 

Then they came for the newspapers that objected to them and I did not speak out because I did not read those papers. 

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
