“Welcome to the Bush-Obama White House…”

Ron Fournier, writing for The National Journal, is to be congratulated. In a world rife with specious “journalism” it isn’t just any, garden variety, “mainstream media” stooge that could manage to turn the worst, consecutive set of presidential scandals in American history, into an indictment… of a president that has been out of office for five years.
Fournier’s article, entitled “Welcome to the Bush-Obama White House: They’re Spying on Us” begins thusly: “Welcome to the era of Bush-Obama, a 16-year span of U.S. history that will be remembered for an unprecedented erosion of civil liberties and a disregard for transparency. On the war against a tactic—terrorism—and its insidious fallout, the United States could have skipped the 2008 election.” It doesn’t seem possible but the article really does go downhill from there.
Fournier cites “a 16-year” reign of presidential terror, giving star billing to former president Bush. This spin is mind-boggling because, indisputably, all of the horror inventoried by Fournier is The Lyin’ King’s doing:
• Killing civilians and U.S. citizens via drone.
• Seizing telephone records at the Associated Press in violation of Justice Department guidelines.
• Accusing a respected FOX News reporter of engaging in a conspiracy to commit treason for doing his job.
Fournier adds that The Lyin’ King “is still detaining suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay”, despite promising to end the “ill-considered practice by President Bush.” Clearly, if Fournier gives Bush top billing he has to validate that casting decision somehow, doesn’t he?
...
Fournier and his ilk whine about the unprecedented invasion of privacy but they never asks why The Lyin’ King is doing it. At least President Bush explained why he requested the very limited data he requested. Does The Lyin’ King expect the public to think his dictatorial actions will make us safer? Facts say otherwise. Russia warned The Lyin’ King’s administration, repeatedly, about the Boston Marathon bombers. He had the data and ignored it. Whatever The Lyin’ King wants it for this data is not being obtained for our benefit. Even The New York Times understands the danger and said so: “Mr. Obama is proving the truism that the executive branch will use any power it is given and, likely, abuse it.”
Bootlickers, like Fournier, will say or do anything to deflect what this Imperial Presidency is doing to America. He is not alone. That such an egregious piece of claptrap has seen daylight is beyond disgusting. That so many are willing to carry fluids, far more poisonous than water, for the LyinÂ’ King illuminates where we are headed.
Big Brother is definitely on the case. Welcome to the Obama White House.
