Orphan Obama: Has anyone ever seen such chutzpah?

American Spectator ^ | 10.2.12 | Ben Stein

There is an old Jewish joke about a boy who murders his parents, then throws himself on the mercy of the court as an orphan. It is a great joke and applies in a huge way to Mr. Obama, Mr. Axelrod, and their posse.

This morning, as I was battling the invasion of ants that is tormenting all of Southern California as we go through by far the worst heat wave I have seen in my 36 years here, I picked up and read the front page of my beloved former employer, the Wall Street Journal.

Sho' 'nuff, there was a story about new holes in the Obama administration's pitiful cover-up of the terror murders in Libya. The administration is just falling apart in its attempt to explain why it was covering up for murderers in Benghazi, and the GOP is attacking the administration for their lies and miscues.

Here comes the good part. The Democrats are firing back by saying that the GOP is trying to "politicize” a tragedy. YES!!! The Democrats in the Obama regime screw up horribly in Libya, then lie about it. They are the ruling party in a democracy. But they are not allowed to be criticized by the main opposition party. If anyone tries to point out the President's lies, that person is "playing politics” with foreign policy!
Mr. Obama, sir, we still live in a free country. We are supposed to point out the mistakes of the rulers. We are supposed to hold them to certain minimum levels of honesty and statesmanship.
That's not "playing politics” as you call it. That's life in a free nation with the rights of free expression and freedom of speech and thought.
