The Scandal-Ridden Obama Administration... alas

Dear Readers,

Fast and Furious.  The Benghazi attacks.  The Benghazi cover-up.  IRS targeting conservative groups.  Seizure of Associated Press journalists' phone records.

These are just some of the recent examples of corruption in Obama's administration.  They're terrible.  Nixon resigned over Watergate.  Watergate was terrible, but nobody died.  Under Obama's administration, Border Patrol agent Bryan Terry is dead, and U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens is dead.  Obama is not directly responsible for these two deaths, but people in his administration are.

This is an outrage.  The media should be covering it more, but they are too loyal to Obama.  They don't want to make him look bad, because they are liberal and he is liberal, and most liberals care more about loyalty than truth and morality.

And the really depressing part about all these scandals is I get the sense that people don't really care.  Or, not enough people care.  If the Presidential election were held again today, Obama would probably win again.  And you know why?  Because he's cool.  And Mitt Romney just wasn't cool.  That's about all there is to it.

It's cooler to be young than it is to be old. 

It's cooler to be black than it is to be white. 

It's cooler to have used pot and cocaine than it is to have abstained from all harmful drugs.

It's cooler to have been raised by a single mother in Indonesia than it is to be raised by a Mom and Dad in Michigan.

It's cooler to have two Peace-sign T-shirt-wearing-daughters who have their father's clearance to get abortions than it is to have three Eagle Scout sons.

It's cooler to be a politician than it is to be a buissnessman.

It's cooler to be a community organizer than it is to be a Mormon missionary.

Alas.  Obama is cooler than Romney.  And Democrats are cooler than Republicans.

The Democratic Party has successfully convinced the majority of voters that the Democratic party is the party of compassion. Democrats have successfully presented themselves as the voice of the common people, the voice of the underpriveleged, the voice of women, gays, and ethnic minorities.   And the Republicans are seen as a bunch of greedy rich white out-of-touch old men.  I don't know what to do to change that narrative.

Well, the education needs to start at home.  I'm doing my best to ensure that my two daughters turn out to be politically conservative.  But I've got to fight against the pervasive influence of the media and the school system.

Generally I feel pretty pessimistic about the political direction of the country.  I think Hillary Clinton has a great shot at the White House in 2016.  Never mind her abject failure in the Benghazi attacks and cover-up.  Never mind that she's lied to, or at least misled, the American people.  People don't care.  She's a woman, she's a Clinton, and she's cool. 

Alas.

Sincerely,
Telemoonfa
