Obama's crimes went unpunished

Barack Obama became president and remained unimpeached. Indeed, his administration appointed no special counsel to investigate his shady deals, his campaign finance violations, or the 36 Obama aides who owed $833,000 in back taxes as of January 12, 2012. They went unprosecuted.

Let us start with the shady aides.

He appointed many tax cheats to his administration. Three years into his first term, Investor's Business Daily reported, "A new report just out from the Internal Revenue Service reveals that 36 of President Obama's executive office staff owe the country $833,970 in back taxes. These people working for Mr. Fair Share [Obama] apparently haven't paid any share, let alone their fair share."

That was 36 out of 437 White House staff members.

Their average annual pay from taxpayers was $84,668.19.

And they didn't pay their taxes.


Instead of going after them, Obama's IRS went after the Tea Party-- harassing them in a manner that taxpayers had to shell out $3.5 million to cover up the Obama administration's "illegal and unwarranted scrutiny."

No one went to jail for that illegal activity.

Then there was Obama's acceptance of millions of dollars in illegal campaign donations in 2008 alone.

The government however waited until he was re-elected to address the issue. No one was prosecuted. His campaign paid a $375,000 and laughed all the way to the White House.

Then there was Tony Rezko, a criminal disguised as a lobbyist. A jury convicted Rezko of 16 federal counts of demanding kickbacks from contracts in the state of Illinois.

After Illinois elected Obama to the United States, Rezko helped him buy an expensive mansion in Chicago.


ABC News reported on January 10, 2008, "In sharp contrast to his tough talk about ethics reform in government, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., approached a well-known Illinois political fixer under active federal investigation, Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, for 'advice' as he sought to find a way to buy a house shortly after being elected to the United States Senate.

"The parcel included an adjacent lot which Obama told the Chicago Tribune he could not afford because 'it was already a stretch to buy the house.'"

The network also reported, "While Rezko's wife paid the full asking price for the land, Obama paid $300,000 under the asking price for the house. The house sold for $1,650,000 and the price Rezko's wife paid for the land was $625,000."

I won't go into how an unrepentant terrorist was his political mentor, or how a racist preacher who said America deserved 9/11 ("chickens coming home to roost") was his spiritual mentor. "The Audacity of Hope" was the title of a Jeremiah Wright sermon long before Obama used it for a book title.

We have two sets of laws in America: those that apply to those with an "in" in government, and those that apply to the rest of us.
