Conservative News of the Day: The Year In Obama Scandals

The Year in Obama Scandals — and Scandal Deniers

With 2011 drawing to a close, it is time to account. As an early-and-often chronicler of Chicago-on-the-Potomac, I am amazed at the stubborn and clingy persistence of President Barack Obama’s snowblowers in the media. See no scandal, hear no scandal, speak no scandal.

Dartmouth College professor Brendan Nyhan asserted in May — while Operation Fast and Furious subpoenas were flying on Capitol Hill — that “one of the least remarked upon aspects of the Obama presidency has been the lack of scandals.” Conveniently, he defines scandal as a “widespread elite perception of wrongdoing.”

So as long as left-wing Ivy League scribes refuse to perceive something to be a scandal — never mind the actual suffering endured by the family of murdered Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, whose death came at the hands of a Mexican cartel thug wielding a Fast and Furious gun walked across the southern border under Attorney General Eric Holder’s watch — there is no scandal!

Self-serving much?

1. How about you resolve to actually put America first rather than just talking about it? When making a decision, stop for a moment and consider not just the political ramifications, but whether or not your choice will really affect Americans in a positive fashion.

World rings in 2012, bids adieu to a tough year

PARIS — With glittering fireworks and celebrations from New Zealand to Times Square, the world eagerly welcomed a new year and hope for a better future Saturday, saying goodbye to a year of hurricanes, tsunamis and economic turmoil that many would rather forget.

Revelers in Australia, Asia and the South Pacific island nation of Samoa, which jumped across the international dateline to be first to celebrate, welcomed 2012 with booming fireworks displays. Up to a million revelers were expected to jam New York's Times Square for the famed crystal-paneled ball drop, and big crowds gathered under twinkling lights on Paris' Champs-Elysees boulevard to pop Champagne corks at midnight.

But across the world, people battered by weather disasters, joblessness and economic uncertainty hoped the stroke of midnight would change their fortunes.

New Year's Resolution

quote:

It's time to make New Year's resolutions for 2012, and given the fact that America and the American ideal are in serious jeopardy both internally and externally, Americans have to resolve to do everything they legally can to make sure President Obama isn't elected to a second term in the 2012 Presidential election, to fully restore freedom of speech, freedom of expression and the rule of law in the United States, to bring the U.S. back from the financial and military abyss and to re-establish the country's standing and leadership role in the world.
