Andrew Sullivan: How Obama's Long Game Will Outsmart His Critics

[The Vrude]

27. Atrocious, not scandals?

I think you're working with a definition of "scandal" that many have gotten used to where the meaning of "scandal" deals more with actions in the dark than the violations they reflect.

The constitution mandates that congress "declare war" prior to attacking sovereign nations (Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution). Attacking Libya without congressional vote would be a treasonous action done in the light, not in secret, and should require the impeachment of President Obama. (A president who represents the money grubbing defense department and MIC). Read this, it's a good read: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2011/03/24/obama_s_unconstitutional_war

Trafficking guns into Mexico is not a scandal? From the article I linked to: "Agent (Brian) Terry was killed by weapons that were part (this) illegal Obama administration operation... He was a victim of his own government. This is not only a major scandal; it is a high crime that potentially reaches all the way to the White House, implicating senior officials. It is President Obama’s Watergate. ... Operation Fast and Furious ... has armed murderous gangs. About 300 Mexicans have been killed by Fast and Furious weapons. More than 1,400 guns remain lost. Agent Terry likely will not be the last U.S. casualty."

The NDAA authorizes the indefinite detention without trial of US citizens, disappearing citizens into black holes at the whim of the government and military. This Obama signing is a treasonous act par excellence. He swore to protect the constitution, not destroy its statutes!

And before you write that I am some sort of "tea Party" "Ron Paul supporting" wingnut, I voted for Clinton, Gore, and Kerry before I woke up. I hate the Bush crime family like a Celtics fan hates the Lakers. This country has been taken over by the 1%, and these powerful institutions use a series of politicians to clamp down on our freedoms and further drop us into the depths of economic enslavement. The "Patriot" Act, John Warner National Defense Authorization Act, NDAA, SOPA, and other traitorous bills all show a systematic push for tyranny.

Wake the F--- up everyone!
