Obama’s untouchables: Holder, Clinton, Lerner, Rice, and Sebelius

How many times must we see this movie before realizing that the ending never changes? Act one: An Obama Administration official is found to be incompetent, grossly negligent, or caught blatantly and arrogantly lying to the American people.

Act two: Media and pundits express their outrage and proclaim that the guilty official’s head will surely roll. Confidently, they predict that it is only a matter of time before [fill in the blank] is forced to resign.

Act three: The scandal gradually falls off the media and the public’s radar. The once thought to be doomed Administration official remains on the government payroll, is moved to another position or simply continues on as if nothing ever happened without consequence. No accountability. We all move on.

Talk about deja vu all over again, Kathleen Sebelius is the latest in the growing list of Obama Administration officials who when caught wrongdoing simply politically give the American people the finger. The roll-out of Obamacare has been a disaster.

Arrogantly, Sebelius has refused to accept responsibility for her gross incompetence, even attempting to pass the blame on to the public and Republicans. Further poking her finger in our eye, Sebelius boldly announced that she does not work for We The People.

Please allow me to refresh your memory about a few earlier arrogant Obama Administration untouchables.

Eric Holder – Scandal: Fast and Furious. Obama’s Attorney General got caught lying to congress about the administration’s ATF gun-walking scandal, Fast and Furious. For weeks, pundits declared that Holder was toast, toxic for the Administration and Obama must force him to resign. Today, Holder’s job is secure as ever. Apparently, Fast and Furious and Holder’s blatant cover-up lie was only a figment of our imagination.

Hillary Clinton – Scandal: Benghazi. Under Hillary’s watch as secretary of state our ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens and three staffers were killed during a terrorist attack on our consulate. During the attack, calls for help were denied. Today, over a year later, witnesses are afraid to speak and the Administration continues to stonewall the investigation.

Meanwhile, Hillary is being positioned to run for the White House in 2016.

Masters of exploiting shallow surface impressions, the Democrats will anoint Hillary as their presidential nominee. Just as Democrats and the media declares anyone opposing any Obama agenda item a racist, anyone opposing president Clinton’s agenda will be high-tech lynched; accused of being a sexist.

Lois Lerner – Scandal: IRS. At the center of the IRS Tea Party targeting scandal, Lerner retired due to an internal investigation which found her guilty of “neglect of duties.” Ms. Lerner’s penalty falls far short of proper punishment for her crimes. This woman corrupted the electoral process, impacting the outcome of the presidential election by stifling the Tea Party.

Emails have exposed that Lois Lerner lied and was directly involved in targeting Tea Party groups.

Susan Rice – Scandal: Benghazi video. Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on numerous TV shows willfully spreading the lie that the attack on our consulate in Benghazi was due to a spontaneous mob responding to an anti-Muslim video. Using standard Democrat modus operandi, rejecting Rice’s proven lie equaled racism and sexism. As a reward for helping Obama “play” the American people, Rice was promoted to National Security Advisor.

Kathleen Sebelius – Scandal: Disastrous Obamacare rollout. How do you spend a billion dollars on a website that does not work and is easily hacked?

Let’s make sure the movie has a different ending this time, scratch Kathleen Sebelius’ name off the list of Obama administration untouchables, and hold her accountable to the American people for her arrogance and incompetence. Secretary Sebelius, you do work for us and we say, you’re fired!

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
