The
trouble with Barry, like Hitchcock’s moribund [
Trouble With]
Harry , is that he never seems to go away, constantly emerging at the
most inopportune moments. Unlike every other president in American
history, Obama has dedicated himself to the practice of what the
Washington Examiner has described as “post-presidential meddling.”
He has thrown himself fully into Alinsky-style “community organizing,”
stirring up resistance to the Trump administration in every way
conceivable: installing, according to the New York Post, a “shadow
government,” dubbed Organizing for Action, comprising more than 30,000
agitators and 250 chapters across the U.S., in order “to sabotage the
incoming administration”; renting a dwelling and setting up command
headquarters around the corner from the White House; cooking up the
Russian hacking fable; and most recently, allegedly wiretapping Trump
Tower, which seems disturbingly probable following the salient remarks
of Ret. Army Intelligence Officer Tony Shaffer on Fox and the
revelations from Breitbart News. Mark Levin’s accusation that Obama is
orchestrating a “silent coup” against Trump rings true. As Daniel
Greenfield points out:
Why
then, would he not use any means at his disposal, legitimate or
illegitimate, including those that reek of “police state tactics,” to
achieve his ends? Was this not predictable from the beginning?
There is now a President and an Anti-President. A government and a
shadow government. The anti-President controls more of the government
through his shadow government than the real President.
Obama and his Deep State have engaged in “a criminal conspiracy of
unprecedented scope.”
And yet, even today, few media outlets are willing to investigate the
innumerable instances of lying, lawbreaking, corruption, broken
promises and cronyism for which Obama is clearly answerable. That he is
likely involved in a wiretapping operation against a political opponent
should not come as a surprise to anyone who has observed or researched
the man. As Matthew Vadum comments in FrontPage Magazine, “It might be
said that every day of his presidency he committed at least one
impeachable offense” -- whether abusing executive powers, bypassing
Congress, leaking classified information, misrepresenting Obamacare,
being ultimately responsible for the Fast and Furious and Benghazi
infamies, and more.
The wiretapping affair is only the latest in a vast and ongoing
sequence of misdemeanors, scandals and illegalities --
a
list compiled by Doug Ross runs
into hundreds of such instances of impropriety and malpractice. No
matter. The list will only grow. The editor of a prestigious
conservative site wrote me calling this latest outrage a “game
changer.” That remains to be seen. I would have thought, for example,
that Obama’s first Executive Order (13489) on January 21, 2009, sealing
his vital records would have been the game changer we were waiting for,
but Barry sailed on unscathed.
