So now the press is on a feeding frenzy ala Chris
Christie. Even on Drudge the headline
reads “Is the Road to the White House Closed?”
For those of us who live in northeast Ohio, the story is almost
funny. We like our politics rough and
tough. I would be surprised if a
political staff didn’t pull a stunt like this, albeit one that shouldn’t have
happened.
Tell it to the press who is out to destroy anyone who isn’t
Hillary. Here’s the headline. There is only one bully in the country,
Barack Obama. There is only one dynastic
family in this country who has raised political chicanery to an art form, the
Clinton's. A few cars inconvenienced in
New Jersey are a drop in the bucket to the stunts pulled by the Obama
administration and the trail of destruction that has followed Bill and Hillary. At least Christie fired the
perpetrators and didn’t debate the meaning of the word “is”.
The real casualty in Bridgegate is big government. The misdeeds of the Obama administration are
so large and pervasive the American public may know they exist, but can’t
understand or process them. But folks do
understand a story where a political hack uses her power to hurt the public for
political retribution. If a minor player in New Jersey can go after
political opponents using traffic cones on a bridge, just think what the IRS or
NSA or those gathering our health care information can do AND HAVE DONE.
Obama’s Ohio State speech last year marked the high water
mark of liberalism in America. He stood in front of the graduating class at
Ohio State and said we shouldn’t fear government because government is us. Do you trust “us”?
Assuming Christie is telling the truth that he didn’t know
and after inquiries was deliberately lied to, he will not only survive but gain
in stature. He came forward and made
himself available to the press. He gave
a detailed narration as to what happened.
He apologized profusely. And most
importantly, he fired those who did this on the spot. No one expects an elected
official to be perfect. They do expect
honesty and action.
Maybe now the public will understand the dangers of big
government.
