Obomination: The "Wholly Unacceptable" Fast and Furious
3 Feb 2012 5:10 AM

Exactly three years ago, Eric Holder was sworn in to be Attorney General. In that time, Holder has admitted that Fast and Furious – where law enforcement officials sold guns to drug dealers in Mexico and a gun was used in the murder of a United States border patrol agent – is “ wholly unacceptable .” Lawmakers in the House of Representatives...

Obomination: DOJ Distorts Data As It Aggressively Scrutinizes Voter ID
20 Jan 2012 6:29 AM

Obama’s Justice Department will go to whatever lengths to distort data in order to pursue their “aggressive” agenda against voter ID. The Department of Justice is misusing its power where it has authority not to preclear voting statutes if they violate civil rights laws. The Department of Justice rushed out its letter denying preclearance of... Read More...

Obomination: DOJ Puts Politics Above the Law
13 Jan 2012 5:26 AM

Last Friday’s Obomination was Obama’s decision to make four illegal recess appointments last week. This week, the Obomination is his Justice Department’s poorly written after-the-fact rationalization for those appointments. Obama and his administration believe the law should be followed only when it suits their political agenda. Senator Grassley... Read More...

Obomination: Obama’s Recess Appointment Timing Is Change We Should Not Believe In
6 Jan 2012 6:55 AM

This week’s Obomination is what Republican Leader Mitch McConnell decried as “particularly egregious” and Speaker John Boehner denounced as an “extraordinary and entirely unprecedented power grab.” It was “a very grave decision by this heavy-handed, autocratic White House” according to Senator Orrin Hatch and seen as...

Obomination: The Scaremongering by the President’s Men
23 Dec 2011 12:41 PM

The title of this Obomination comes from an insightful op-ed by Jason Riley published this week. Riley is a seasoned journalist on the editorial board of a major newspaper, not a politician. His observations of the voter ID issue comes after hearing recent comments by an Obama administration official and a civil rights leader with close ties to Obama. He identifies... Read More...

15 Dec 2011 12:48 PM

On the eve of the birthday of the Bill of Rights, Senators Cardin (D-MD) and Schumer (D-NY) claimed to give “ respect ” to the Bill of Rights, but their proposed Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2011 will chill speech in violation of the First Amendment.

Obomination: Obama Continues to Support ACORN
2 Dec 2011 9:56 AM

Apparently, Obama’s right hand (his DOJ) ignores what the left hand (which Obama uses to sign) is doing. Obama’s Office of Justice Programs awarded a grant of $138,130 in 2011 to Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN) in order to “sustain the efforts” of the organization. But wait! In December of 2009, President Obama... Read More...

Obomination: The Unconstitutionality of Obamacare
25 Nov 2011 9:15 AM

Why get rid of Obamacare? Yes, there are practical arguments that so much federal government control over the health care industry is not efficient or helpful. Then, there are concerns about whether it was even well-written and had the support of the legislature, when over 2700 pages of the Obamacare bill were read by hardly anyone who voted for it. But most... Read More...

Obomination: Cherry Picking Election Laws

Obomination: Crony Capitalism of the White House
14 Oct 2011 6:32 AM

Solyndra. LightSquared. The list goes on and on. Obama’s cronies have been receiving special treatment through federal loans, grants and subsidies. What happens if the federal government gives money to a company that fails? When Obama has been picking the winners, the American taxpayers are the ones that lose out in the end. Obama was not mum about favorites... Read More...

Obomination: President’s Confidence in Holder Misplaced
7 Oct 2011 7:59 AM

Obama recently said of Attorney General Eric Holder, "I have complete confidence in him."

Obomination: The Double Standard at Obama’s DOJ
30 Sep 2011 8:12 AM

Have you been keeping count at Obama’s Department of Justice? Leftist lawyers: 113 Moderate, non-ideological, or conservative lawyers: 0. These numbers, as covered in a previous Obomination , are especially disturbing because career employees at the Justice Department are supposed to be selected by merit by law .

Obomination: Campaigner-in-Chief Ignores House of Representatives Rules
23 Sep 2011 1:33 PM

A DNC political ad for Obama uses footage from inside the Capitol, in violation of Rules for the House of Representatives. House Rules 5 and 11 prohibit the use of broadcasts of House proceedings for political purposes. The RNLA has written to the Office of Congressional Ethics requesting an investigation into this matter, as DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz... Read More...
