The Commercial Appeal

Behind the facade

- Rick De Groff, Olive Branch

We’ve watched for over five years now how a hand-chosen destroyer can be elevated to the highest position of power in the world. Yet this man remains, for the most part, unchalleng­ed as our country spirals downward in status and respect.

We observe bizarre justice in countless situations from questionab­le associatio­ns with known criminals and organizati­ons, from Tony Rezko and William Ayers to the infamous ACORN organizati­on, with little or no accountabi­lity on the part of the president. This man has surrounded himself with a virtual army of incompeten­ts who, for the most part, have gone by the wayside when their impropriet­ies became too obvious. But the blame always falls short of President Barack Obama, who is responsibl­e for nearly all the chaos that has besieged our country.

The protection of this man has got to end if we are to regain our status in the world.

Americans of all races need to step back and analyze just what has happened in the last five years and dis- cern where it is taking our country. We’re losing freedoms and privacy on a daily basis. It is up to us to be “the door that squeaks the loudest” to bring healing back to our government.
