Supervisors may skate on millions of dollars wasted
Media, friendly liberal judges and libertarians help them flip blame to prosecution
This article was sent in by a reader
Democrat Supervisor and activist Mary Rose Wilcox is one happy lady these days. “I think we’re finally beating back the prosecution. The best way to beat criminal charges is to accuse the prosecution of being unethical and overly zealous. We’ve got the liberal media on our side, since they support the big-spending programs we direct taxpayers’ money to, like Chicanos por la Causa, environmental initiatives, and AIDS prevention. We’ve also got libertarians on our side like the Arizona Republic’s Bob Robb and the Goldwater Institute’s Clint Bolick, who mostly ignore our big-spending because they’re more concerned with looking “fair” so they would rather attack guys like Sheriff Arpaio and Andrew Thomas who are tough when it comes to law enforcement. It doesn’t matter how much money we spend, or that Tea Parties are organizing protests against us, those two guys give us a free pass and help us attack the prosecution.”

The last few weeks have been a nightmare for President Obama, in a summer of discontent in the United States which has deeply unsettled the ruling liberal elites, so much so that even the Left has begun to turn against the White House. While the anti-establishment Tea Party movement has gained significant ground and is now a rising and powerful political force to be reckoned with, many of the president’s own supporters as well as independents are rapidly losing faith in Barack Obama, with open warfare breaking out between the White House and the left-wing of the Democratic Party. While conservatism in America grows stronger by the day, the forces of liberalism are growing increasingly weaker and divided.
Against this backdrop, the president’s approval ratings have been sliding dramatically all summer, with the latest Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll of US voters dropping to minus 22 points, the lowest point so far for Barack Obama since taking office. While just 24 per cent of American voters strongly approve of the president’s job performance, almost twice that number, 46 per cent, strongly disapprove. According to Rasmussen, 65 per cent of voters believe the United States is going down the wrong track, including 70 per cent of independents.
The RealClearPolitics average of polls now has President Obama at over 50 per cent disapproval, a remarkably high figure for a president just 18 months into his first term. Strikingly, the latest USA Today/Gallup survey has the President on just 41 per cent approval, with 53 per cent disapproving.
Preview:
1. The Obama presidency is out of touch with the American people
In a previous post I noted how the Obama presidency increasingly resembles a modern-day Ancien Régime, extravagant, decaying and out of touch with ordinary Americans. The First Lady’s ill-conceived trip to Spain at a time of widespread economic hardship was symbolic of a White House that barely gives a second thought to public opinion on many issues, and frequently projects a distinctly elitist image. The “let them eat cake” approach didn’t play well over two centuries ago, and it won’t succeed today.
