Obama and the “Pied” Pfeiffer

PfeifferYesterday, a Senior Adviser to President Barack Hussein Obama went on the Sunday Morning Talk Shows, in an effort to run interference for his boss, in the wake of the ever-growing scandals plaguing his second term in office.

Dan Pfeiffer, pulled the “Full Ginsburg” yesterday, as he appeared on all five Sunday Morning Programs, in a campaign of political propaganda, designed to get the nation to “move past” the murders of 4 brave Americans in Benghazi, the DOJ’s wiretapping of the Associated Press, and the attack on the perceived enemies of Obama by the Internal Revenue Service.

Pfeiffer’s main defense was to counter-attack those wascally Wepublicans, claiming that they were using the scandals for political purposes. In his next breath, he additionally urged the Republicans to work with the president on “Immigration Reform (Amnesty) and Budget Deficits.

Pfeiffer spent the overwhelming majority of the time trying to defend Obama’s scandal-plagued second term by attempting to deflect the nation’s focus to the opposition party…

…“There is no question Republicans are trying to make political hay here,” Mr. Pfeiffer said of the I.R.S. scandal. And regarding Benghazi, he said on Fox, “there’s a series of conspiracy theories the Republicans have been spinning about this since the night it happened.”

Chris Wallace, the Fox host, pressed Mr. Pfeiffer to explain exactly what Mr. Obama was doing on Sept. 11 as reports of the attack on the United States Mission in Benghazi emerged — specifically whether the president had gone to the Situation Room to monitor events. Mr. Pfeiffer dismissed the question as irrelevant and rejected what he said was an implication of presidential inattention. The attack killed four Americans, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.

“The assertions from Republicans here that somehow the president allowed this to happen and didn’t take action is offensive,” Mr. Pfeiffer said. “There’s no evidence to support it.”

But the minority leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, picking up a Republican theme, cast the disputes as symptoms of a deeper problem. “There is a culture of intimidation throughout the administration,” he said on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.” “The I.R.S. is just the most recent example.”

The president has insisted that it would have been wrong to have been involved earlier in the I.R.S. matter or to interfere with the Justice Department’s investigation into leaks that led to the seizure of the journalists’ records. That has provoked criticism that his management style leans too far in the other direction — so detached as to be ineffectual.

Mr. Pfeiffer brusquely dismissed those suggestions.

“I think that’s an absurd proposition,” Mr. Pfeiffer said on Fox. “What would be a real problem is if he was involved in those things.”

He said a cardinal rule of the presidency is “you don’t get involved in independent investigations, and you don’t give the appearance of doing so.”

On ABC’s This Week

…ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked Pfeiffer whether President Obama believes that the IRS might have acted illegally.

Pfeiffer replied: “I can’t speak to the law here. The law is irrelevant. The activity was outrageous and inexcusable, and it was stopped and it needs to be fixed to ensure it never happens again.”

For sure, Pfeiffer would have been better off leaving out the “law is irrelevant” line.

When Stephanopoulos replied, “You don’t really mean the law is irrelevant, do you?” Pfeiffer went on to say: “The Department of Justice has said that they’re looking into the legality of this. The president is not going to wait for that. We have to make sure it does not happen again, regardless of how that turns out.”

As conservatives hammered Pfeiffer, the White House adviser took to Twitter to explain: “Before folks quoting me out of context get too far ahead of themselves, of course the law matters, IRS conduct is wrong even if legal.”

Nice Washington two-step there, “Pied” Pfeiffer.

First, if the investigation is being handled by an agency in the Federal Government, Obama IS involved. He is the CEO of all of the agencies in the Federal Government.

Second, not even your boss, the Lightbringer, is above the law.

Speaking of the Manchurian President, he had the honor of speaking at the historically Black Morehouse College’s Graduation Ceremony, yesterday.

Obama said,

“As Morehouse men, many of you know what it’s like to be an outsider, to be marginalized, to feel the sting of discrimination. That’s an experience that a lot of Americans share,” Obama said.

Hispanic Americans, Obama lamented, are told to “go back” home while strangers pass judgment on the parenting skills of gay men and lesbians or stare at Muslim Americans with suspicion.

Obama said that too many young black men make “bad choices.”

“Growing up, I made quite a few myself,” Obama said. “Sometimes I wrote off my own failings as just another example of the world trying to keep a black man down. I had a tendency to make excuses for me not doing the right thing.”

But, the president implored, “we’ve got no time for excuses.”

You mean, excuses like, 

“I first learned about this [the IRS Scandal] from the same news reports that I think most people learned about this,” Obama began. “This is pretty straightforward. If, in fact, IRS personnel engaged in the kind of practices that have been reported on and were intentionally targeting conservative groups, then that’s outrageous.”

“And they have to be held fully accountable, because the IRS as an independent agency requires absolute integrity and people have to have confidence that they’re applying it in a nonpartisan way – applying the laws in a nonpartisan way.” …?

Uh huh.

Obama also told the Morehouse Graduates,

You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These men were many things to many people and they knew full well the role that racism played in their life. But when it came to their own accomplishments and sense of purpose, they had no time for excuses. Every one of you has a grandma or an uncle or a parent whose told you at some point in life as an African American you have to work twice as hard as anyone else if you want to get by.

Okay.

Mr. President, how do you think that those great Americans you just mentioned would feel about the scandals facing you right now and your use of class warfare as a purposeful tool of divisiveness?

Frederick Douglass once remarked,

I am a Republican, a black, dyed in the wool Republican, and I never intend to belong to any other party than the party of freedom and progress.

If he was beginning a non-profit group today, would your IRS investigate him, too?

Just wonderin’…

Until He Comes,

KJ

    Frederick Douglass would slap the taste right out of Obama’s mouth for the hateful division which he uses as a tool for personal power.. Obama uses race and class to teach people to hate each other, then dares to demand unity, as if he hadn’t made that damn near impossible..

    He can’t run calling half the country enemies of HIS state, and expect us to simply bow and surrender..

    That’s his Chicago way.. cheat lie steal.. then when you win, use the very government you lambasted as imperious and out of control, to bash crush and smother your political enemies. Illegal or not, in secret, or openly, he has no other plan, than a one party state. One where to belong to the GOP is to be a targeted extremist fit only for abuse.

    His Amerika, is not ours.. and never will be.

    Our best hope, is his hamfisted bungling has crippled him so we can survive till he’s resigned, impeached, or retired..

    Then.. the clean up..

    we’ll be decades mending the rank hatred and division he’s created.. a “historical” president, who turned out to be a petty thug.. The next black president has to be a republican, just to put aside the disgraceful taste left behind by a conman selling dogma and division.
