How is it that the biggest Obama scandal of the political season is getting no coverage in the media?

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Obama has given Iraqis the impression that he doesn't want Iraq to appear anything like a success, let alone a victory, for America. The reason? He fears that the perception of US victory there might revive the Bush Doctrine of "pre-emptive" war - that is, removing a threat before it strikes at America.
Despite some usual equivocations on the subject, Obama rejects pre-emption as a legitimate form of self -defense. To be credible, his foreign-policy philosophy requires Iraq to be seen as a failure, a disaster, a quagmire, a pig with lipstick or any of the other apocalyptic adjectives used by the American defeat industry in the past five years.

Clearly, it is the American people versus the leftist, Bush-hating, antiwar, elitist media, and the powerful Obama machine. And the leftist, Bush-hating, antiwar, elitist media is just willing to ignore the story and hope it will just go away.

Their problem, of course, is that the center-right side of the blogosphere and the American people have no intention of letting the story go the way so many other Obama scandals have gone - buried by the media.

He violated the Logan act, he needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Wouldn't it be great to arrest him while Barbra is singing Memories or something like that tonight in Beverly Hills....yeah, I know, wishful thinking.
