“When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal”
Ross Douthat’s latest column is well worth a read, if even just for historical purposes, to understand how fully Obama & Co. have destroyed the American political system:
Anyone paying attention knows that no such impeachment plan is currently afoot. So taken on its own, the impeachment chatter would simply be an unseemly, un-presidential attempt to raise money and get out the 2014 vote.
But it isn’t happening in a vacuum, because even as his team plays the impeachment card with gusto, the president is contemplating — indeed, all but promising — an extraordinary abuse of office: the granting of temporary legal status, by executive fiat, to up to half the country’s population of illegal immigrants.

Incidentally, I saw that on a bumper sticker in Elkhorn, WI yesterday.
The inflation-adjusted net worth for the typical household was $87,992 in 2003. Ten years later, it was only $56,335, or a 36 percent decline, according to a study financed by the Russell Sage Foundation.
The one beside it read “OBummer”. h/t
Obama’s Most Cynical Move Yet?
From Drudge today:
Obama Readying ‘Very Significant’ Executive Action On Immigration…
Unilateral grant of ‘work authorization’…
Gutierrez: Amnesty for 5 million…
Sessions: Will ‘end immigration enforcement’…
Plea to America: Melt Congressional Phones, Kill Executive Amnesty…
Prediction: Such a unilateral move by the Executive Office would likely be overturned by the Supreme Court in 2015 but if the Republicans were to speak out against it, they’ll suffer the price at the polls on November 4th.

“When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal”
The Federal Election Commission recycled the computer hard drive of April Sands — a former co-worker of Lois Lerner’s — hindering an investigation into Sands’ partisan political activities, according to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Sands resigned from the Federal Election Commission in April after she admitted to violating the Hatch Act, which bars executive branch employees from engaging in partisan political activities on federal time and at federal facilities.
The twist is that Sands also worked under Lois Lerner when the ex-IRS agent — who is currently embroiled in a scandal over the targeting of conservative political groups — worked at the FEC’s enforcement division.

How’s That Hopey Changey Thing Working Out For Ya?
The Quinnipiac poll showing that Obama is now considered the worst president since World War II offers him no silver lining. There were 12 choices and the voting wasn’t close — he got the highest “worst” vote, 33 percent, with George W. Bush the next worst, at 28 percent.
Jimmy Carter, routinely mocked as a disaster, drew only 8 percent. Even Richard Nixon did better, seen as the bottom of the barrel by only 13 percent of those surveyed. And we know how Nixon’s tenure ended.
Too bad America didn’t come to its senses sooner. Indeed, the Q poll shows a huge amount of buyers’ remorse, with 45 percent saying Mitt Romney would have been a better president, while only 38 percent think Obama was the right choice in 2012. Mulligan, anyone?
And half of those work in media.

Operation Empty Chair
Iraq has bought used fighter jets from Russia and Belarus to battle Islamist militants after long delays in the delivery of F-16 planes from the U.S. left troops without air support, Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki said.
The jets “should arrive in Iraq in two or three days,” Al-Maliki said.

IRSgate
Juan Williams: “This whole idea that we’re now to Watergate and burning tapes … I mean that … you’d have to … that’s quite a leap for me.”
George Will: “It’s a leap when six, not only Lois Lerner’s hard drive crashes 10 days after they get the letter from Dave Camp, the chairman of the appropriate committee, but SIX others do?!? Including those of the person who was the Chief of Staff to the IRS commission who was fired. And you know what the response to this is – Charles talks about the incompetence demonstrated here and that’s the default explanation of what government does a lot of the time – but the beauty of this – it’s almost an elegant thing – Commissioner Koskinen has said, as the perfect bureaucrat would, that all of this is evidence that the IRS needs a bigger appropriation so it can get better computers.”
Watching Juan Williams, one can’t help but remember this guy.
Update: Bill O’Reilly illustrates the rampant media coverup of this story.

Adam Carolla Interviews Dinesh D’Souza
In a 90-minute interview, Dinesh D’Souza and Adam Carolla discuss the many problems plaguing America and the sure road to socialist irrelevance awaiting the nation if it continues down the same path it has been heading. A few callers ask some interesting questions, including one contrasting D’Souza’s more optimistic outlook vs. Dennis Miller’s very pessimistic one. Definitely cathartic listening for SDA regulars.
