Whereas, crony capitalism is part of the cancer of Washington DC and their culture that doesn't make it right, regardless of which party. But Obama promised to stop that nonsense and hasn't in his first four years in office. In fact he's been far worse than other administrations. The other day, I was discussing this with they left-leaning politically inclined Obama campaign operative. He told me that we shouldn't turn a blind side to the fact that crony capitalism goes on in Washington on both sides of the aisle. Okay so, let's discuss this shall we?
You see, no one's turning a blind's eye on this issue for either party, and I'm certainly not, nor is our think tank, but Obama has abused the system, and it hard to make the claim that we need criminal penalties after the election and a full investigation of everyone in his cabinet, all of the czars, and any advisors he has, but that might be wise. If he wins, we'd still need an investigation. I can recall that many Democrats who despised President Bush's politics demanded investigations and criminal proceedings against his administration. Fair is fair, right; or left?
Why should it be any different from the other side? Why shouldn't those who are Republicans, tea party members, or anyone on the other side of the political fence not demand those same types of investigations now of the Obama administration, their staff, and everyone involved with her operations? If they are innocent of any of these charges, accusations, or innuendos, then they should feel free to open up their e-mails, contacts, and records for all the see - after all, wasn't it Obama who promised to be transparent president?
It's time for President Obama to lead by example, to stop crony capitalism and not to engage in it for political campaign contributions for a second term. Nor should he be paying back his contributors with the gravy train lucrative government contracts which seem to befall all of his top corporate, investment banker, and deal-making donators. And like I said, it's not that Republican senators in the past haven't done dirty deals, or engaged in outrageous lobbyists contributions for a vote, it's just that we were promised by President Obama that he would be better than that.
Judging from some of these alternative energy contracts, the deals with ACCORN, and the handing-out of quasi-intelligence information to Hollywood - we just have far too many questions, questions which have gone unanswered, and that are far too coincidences for us to look the other way. If we are ever going to fix Washington DC, we need to start at the top, and follow the money. Isn't that exactly what the Democrats said during the Bush-Cheney administration? Well, look what Obama's Team has done, look what the Democrats have done, the hypocrisy in my opinion has gone on too long, and it's time that it stopped.
We can change all that on November 6, 2012 by reelecting a new president, and then going after anyone who engaged in illegal activity associated with the Obama administration, or allow them to prove themselves through transparency that they are innocent. They have every right to prove their innocence; I say we let them do it. Please consider all this and think on it.
