Okay, so the American
public is really stupid like the White House seems to think. Like we don't remember the very first bill
Obama signed into law when he was elected and the Democrats could do anything
they wanted because they controlled the House and Senate.
On January 29, 2009 Obama
signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 to much fanfare, and the Obama
White House declared:
"President Obama actively
supported the bill. President Obama has
long championed this bill and Lilly Ledbetter's cause, and by signing it into
law, he will insure that women like Ms. Ledbetter and other victims of pay
discrimination can effectively challenge unequal pay."
That was only five years
ago. Today Obama has launched yet
another partisan war against that most heinous of villains, those dastardly
Republicans in Congress who stand in the way of the Democrats' Equal Pay
Fairness Act of 2014.
Wait, isn't that the same
problem he already solved with the much heralded Lilly Ledbetter Act back when
he began? Didn't he and his Democrat
mouthpieces say THAT act of Congress would solve the fair pay problem?
Here we go again..
What Obama, the Democrats
and the Main Street
media failed to tell the public was his original solution was a joke in terms
of helping women but a great payback by Obama for the millions of dollars of
campaign contributions he got from the powerful Trial Lawyers Association and
trial lawyers.
Every analysis done of his
"signature" Lilly act by good guys (Democrats and Main Street media)
and bad guys (Republicans and the business community) say his act was nothing
more than a trial lawyer payout and did more to assist lawyers in collecting
more fees than to promote equal pay for women in the workplace.
Women seem to be a tool of
political expediency for this Administration to be used and confused by mixed
signals, empty promises and demagoguery of the most sinuous nature. Perhaps that is a reason Hillary Clinton
seems to be putting more and more distance between herself and her former boss
Obama. And former President Bill Clinton
is making more and more obvious references to the failures of the Obama
Administration to accomplish anything.
So Obama has three public
spokeswomen, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, former House Majority
Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senator Barbara Mikulski, all part of the partisan Washington establishment
with years of game playing experience and all part of the wonderful solution to
women's pay equality they passed five years ago.
If they screwed it up last
time and simply paid off the trial lawyers what in the world gives us
confidence they will get it right this time?
Besides, they had their chance when they absolutely controlled Congress
with Pelosi and Harry Reid in charge, do we really want to go back to that kind
of leadership again. Where is Hillary?
Attorney General Eric Holder
Now we come to the AG
whining about the hidden agenda of racism that is causing him as the chief law
enforcement officer in America
and Obama as the first Black president to be victims to some nefarious secret
plot. In fact, the "attorney
general", he said, talking in the third person as if he wasn't even in the
room, is subject to the worst harassment by congress in history and it was even
worse for Obama as our first minority president.
This came up because Holder was called to congress to deliver documents on the Obama Fast and Furious operations where guns confiscated by the government were sold to drug dealers from Mexico and used to kill American federal agents. He again refused to turn over all the documents requested in the congressional investigation.
Then he gives a speech and attacks the way he was treated by congress. When one of the top
government officials has absolutely no sense of history and turns to race
baiting to keep the media attention off his own failure to turn over documents
to congress then something is very wrong with this Administration.
I could rattle off a list
of former attorney generals who were persecuted by congress and it made no
difference whether they were Black, Hispanic, White, Democrat or
Republican. The AG is the front man for the
president and he better be capable of taking criticism for the boss and for the
cover ups that take place.
As for the president being
a target of racism, even the most beloved president in our history and the one
who took the courageous action to fight a civil war in order to free the slaves, an act that made it possible for Obama to one day be president, Abraham Lincoln from Obama's own state of Illinois,
was the victim of far more sinister and shameful racist attacks and eventually
paid his life for his convictions.
Ironically Lincoln
was accused of being part Negro by the rabid racists of that day.
Come on Eric, don't put
yourself and the president above everyone who ever held the offices if you
can't take the heat. Just get out.
