So! Anthony Weiner has resigned. Everyone expected it. The Democrats demanded it. They very much wanted this guy to disappear, so he wouldn’t sling any mud on their scheme to keep their party in power for 2012.
Personally, I don’t think they have anything to worry about. The Republican Party, my party affiliate, is in deep turmoil right now.
The Democrats have only one front-runner at this time, and that is Obama. With the exception of Herman Cain and Ron Paul, there are no viable candidates running on the Republican ticket, and they are not the party’s favorite candidates, and neither of them are the media’s darlings.
What will happen is this: The host of Republican candidates will effectively split the number of votes for our side, giving the Democrats control of everything once again, and destroying our country completely.
There will be no more United States of America after 2014, if the Democrats have their way.
However I found Obama’s statements from the June 14 episode of the “Today” show on NBC, where he stated that Rep. Weiner should resign, was a clear case of the “pot calling the kettle black.”
Obama made his comments about a congressman’s ethical conduct. He stated that public service “is exactly that; it’s a service to the public. And when you get to the point where ... you can’t serve as effectively as you need to at the time when people are worrying about jobs, and their mortgages, and paying the bills, then you should probably step back.”
The reason that people are worrying about their jobs, their mortgages, and paying their bills, is because of the policies that are being placed into effect by the Obama regime.
First, there is something suspicious about someone who needs two years to produce his birth certificate. I can show mine, if I need to, in 24 hours or less.
Then, we have the issue of “Obamacare,” which threatens to destroy one-seventh of our entire economy. We have a national debt that will never be paid down.
Joplin, Mo., was nearly destroyed by a tornado. FEMA does not have the money to help those people, yet Obama gives billions of taxpayer dollars to the Egyptians.
Gas prices are out of control, because Obama will not sign any drilling moratoriums, absolutely loathes the coal industry and is in bed (almost literally) with the tree-hugging environmentalist crowd.
This, to me, speaks more volumes about Obama’s ethics than it does of Weiner’s ethics. Clearly, this is not a man who has any ethics on his mind, let alone the thought of helping the American people.
In my opinion, Obama should do the country a favor and resign on the heels of Rep. Weiner, and the twosome should take a long vacation together ... maybe on a tour of all of the 57 states.
