Obama goes Nixonian

When Nixon did that kind of thing the press went into overdrive over abuse of power. Now they yawn.

Obama is the most mendacious and power-hungry president since Nixon.

But conservatives are evil, you see, existentially, unremittingly evil. Leftists are not bound by the common rules of civility or by constitutional constraints when it comes to their evil opponents, not that Nixon was any paragon of classical liberalism.

Obama Campaign Flags ‘Less-Than-Reputable’ Romney Donors - ABC News

Nixon never did that kind of thing.

Your link does the exact same thing to President Obama.

"President Obama, unlike Romney, voluntarily discloses the names and contribution amounts of all his top volunteer fundraisers — “bundlers” — not just those who are registered lobbyists, as required by law. Obama also refuses donations from registered lobbyists or PACs.

But Obama has received support from hundreds of wealthy Americans – including some with less-than-reputable records of their own.

Former New Jersey Gov. and Obama bundler Jon Corzine has been under investigation for his role in the collapse of investment firm MF Global, where he was chairman and CEO and from which more than $1 billion disappeared.

The Obama campaign and Democratic National Committee later announced they would refund more than $70,000 in contributions from Corzine and his wife. Officials said they would examine on a case by case basis whether to refund some of the more than $430,000 in additional funds Corzine delivered to the campaign from other supporters.

In February, the Obama campaign refunded more than $200,000 from Carlos and Alberto Cardona after the New York Times reported the brothers’ ties to a Mexican casino magnate and fugitive from the U.S. who had sought a presidential pardon.

Earlier this month, another major Obama donor, Abake Assongba, made headlines for a civil lawsuit alleging that she stole $650,000 in an email scam to help build a multimillion-dollar home. Assongba has bundled more than $50,000 for the campaign."


What caused Nixon to resign.

The History Place - Impeachment: Richard Nixon

Nixon kept an enemies list and sicced the IRS on them. Obama as CEO of the US is in charge of Justice and the IRS, to name a couple of agencies that can make anyone's life miserable. Naming people like that and insuating illegal activity is an invitation to persecution by those agencies. That is a gross abuse of power.
 
Can you imagine if Nixon got a border guard killed liked Obama did with Fast and Furious?
 
Nixon never broke into the Watergate same way Obama never pulled the trigger on Brian Terry, it was for his "involvement" in the cover up
 
Obama goes Captain Queeg.
