Same crime, different technology

Nixon and Clinton.

Obama’s Watergate

Corruption and cover up. Surely Democrats must be embarrassed by the daily revelations. Yet they stick by him. Forty years ago chagrined, honest Republicans were fleeing from Nixon, a man whose lines about "I didn't know," or "I'm not a crook," are now being used by Obama. Maybe there's time. It hasn't all come out yet.

There is only one little difference between these two crooks

Nixon accepted the responsibility and did the honorable thing.  Obama knows nothing of honor, patriotism, honesty, hard work, or history.

Democrats aren’t blind—just devoted followers

"The Internal Revenue Service is apologizing for inappropriately flagging conservative political groups for additional reviews during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status. Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS unit that oversees tax-exempt groups, said organizations that included the words “tea party” or “patriot” in their applications for tax-exempt status were singled out for additional reviews." [Today's Washington Post] Now, do you recall the comments Obama made at OSU’s graduation  a week ago about those who fear tyranny in government? And the IRS goes after patriot groups because they aren't leftists?

I was a Democrat when Nixon fell from grace and resigned. Watergate was a burglary; no one died. He did the honorable thing—something unknown in government today—to protect the reputation not of himself, or his party, but the office of the presidency.  I didn't know a single Republican who stood by him--they were ashamed that such disgrace had fallen on their guy. Not so with Democrats and Benghazi. I don't know a single Democrat who has abandoned their slavish devotion to Obama. It reminds me of abused wives/girlfriends who keep going back for more after they get out of the hospital and he's released from jail.

President Nixon’s meeting with Elvis

C-span 3 had a very interesting interview with Presley’s friend Jerry Schilling and Nixon’s aide, Bud Krogh who were there when Elvis decided he wanted a badge and got in to see the President. See the whole show here, hosted by Timothy Naftali of the Nixon Library. Quite charming, showing the very human side of both the President and the King. I think it aired about 2 weeks ago.

Also watched Book-TV with Michael Medved, the Five Big Lies about American Business. He appeared at a forum of Heritage Foundation on Dec. 9.
