Hannelore Morton> In the 1980s, the media seemed amazed at how the public never seemed to turn on Ronald Reagan. They even coined a phrase for it: the Teflon Presidency. More amazing by far is the continued support Barack Obama receives from the adoring segment of the voting public that refuses to give up on his unworkable socialist schemes. From trillion dollar bailouts to gun-running operations in Mexico, from the $20 billion shakedown of BP to the use of the IRS and NSA agencies to abuse Americans’ rights, Obama has been on a five-year mission that should have tanked his approval ratings. I have written before that Obama has spent the last four and a half years making the Congress of the United States largely irrelevant. And other than a handful of House members like Iowa’s Steve King, and a few senators like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, it is hard to imagine anyone in the congressional leadership who is willing to take the steps necessary to reclaim the constitutional authority they have allowed Obama to steal from them. Attorney-General, Eric Holder, who authorized Operation Fast and Furious (not to mention other nefarious programs) and then swept it under the rug; Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, who implemented the debacle that is ObamaCare; United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, who rewrote the bill (and, many argue, the Constitution) in order to declare it constitutional; Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, who allowed our fallen heroes to come back to our soil with no monetary provision even to bury them; and President Barack Obama himself — all of them should resign from office tomorrow.
