The Spotless One.

No, I don't mean Jesus when I say "the Spotless One", but a man who we are led to believe is about as Holy as Jesus. These past few weeks we have seens headlines full of scandals and cover-ups, let's review real quick.

IRS scandal: The IRS has admitted to targeting Conservative groups. The inspector general’s report made public May 11 found that IRS employees at the agency’s Determinations Unit from spring 2010 until about fall 2011 used keyword searches such as “tea party” and “patriot” to target groups applying for tax-exempt status. The Conservative groups were then put through lengthy periods of investigations and some requests for tax-exemption were delayed up to 3 years, all the while Liberal groups were rarely investigated.

AP Scandal: Documents and phone records were seized Unconstitutionally by the Justice department concerning a (then) ongoing terrorist investigation. In addition, a Fox News correspondent, James Rosen, was investigated and tracked because of an an investigation he was doing concerning classified material about North Korea in 2009. Eric Holder, U.S. Attorney General, is now under scrutiny for possibly lying under Oath. On May 15th he said, when questioned on possible use of the Espionage Act to prosecute members of the news media for publishing classified information, that he never took part in any "potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material...That is not something that I have ever been involved in, heard or, or would think would be wise policy,"  It has now been revealed that Holder had been involved in the discussions about getting search warrants to search reporters documents.

Benghazi scandal: I'm sure many are familiar with this one.Violent attacks happened in Egypt and Libya, specifically Benghazi, on American Embassies which resulted in the death of 4 men, including an Ambassador. Many officials in our government, including Hillary Clinton, said the attack was sparked by an anti-Islam online video. Many questions still revolve around these attacks, yet Liberals have been trying to bury it and leave it be.

Now what do these all have in common aside from showing how corrupt our government has gotten? Obama apparently is not connected, or in any way responsible, for any of them. Obama apparently wasn't even aware such things were conceivable. regarding the Justice Department spying on the AP, Jay Carney, White House Press Secretary said that  Obama “found out about that from news reports" on May 13.

So the way I see it is, we either have one of the most incompetent, ignorant presidents in recorded history, or   our president is covering up and he was aware of some or all of these scandals. I think it might be a bit of both.

Either way, the media is portraying these things as if Obama was deliberately kept in the dark lest he find out and break open these scandals. He now has "plausible deniability" (Kennedy anyone?) for all of these things. So we are told now, basically, that Obama is the Spotless Lamb, free from sin or blemish. A near perfect being in a not-so-perfect government. Maybe he is, maybe he really had no clue at all. It's possible, but not likely.

One thing's for sure, our government isn't worth of trusting too much right now. Whether it's violating our free speech and privacy by seizing records and information unconstitutionally, or targeting groups and people simply based off of what party they support in what values they have, we know that our government won't think twice before stabbing it's citizens in the back. So stay vigilant, vote, pray, and STAY INFORMED! It's all we can do at the present to try and keep a hold on a corrupted system.
