Former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino Sears Big Gov’t

http://www.ijreview.com/2014/06/150293-dan-bongino-watching-real-time-collapse-big-government-model/

"Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service Agent and current candidate for Maryland’s 6th Congressional seat, posted a scathing rebuke of liberalism and the Obama Administration to his Facebook wall on Monday:

    We are watching, in real time, the collapse of the big-government model on which the house of liberalism has been built. The only question remaining is, when will those on the far left accept the results, rather than the intentions of the big government model?

    *    President Obama ran on the idea that a big government can solve big problems, yet this model has not only not solved any of our big problems, but it has created new ones, while aggravating old ones created by prior administrations.

Then he backed it up with some powerful evidence:

    Think about where we find ourselves. We are in the midst of a border crisis on our southern border, a civil war in Iraq, an aggressive expansion of Russian territory, a historically unpopular healthcare initiative, record numbers of Americans both outside of our workforce and receiving disability payments from the government, a crisis where our own IRS admits to targeting Americans, then pleads the 5th, then “loses” only the emails of the suspects involved, destroys their hard-drives and tells us nothing is wrong.

    *   And where is our President on these issues? He is issuing public statements on how he disagrees with the name of an NFL team.

    *   Calling this leadership is either willfully misleading or un-willfully blind.

Boom. There’s nothing more that can be added to that.

Bongino gained national prominence after writing a book on his experience working in the White House, and he narrowly lost a Senate bid in 2012. The primary for the Congressional seat he is seeking is currently held by one-term Democrat John Delany."

Each one of those girls will be able to write a book about what it was like to "grow up" in the White House and probably never have to work again.  (Good for them.)  There is no shortage of people who will snap those books up, even if they were written in crayon.

If we had a republican in office right now, I'd be more pissed off if things were going the way they are right now.  Scandals abound, nobody knows anything about them, people destroying evidence in these scandals where there has been loss of life and nobody is being held accountable?  This is BS and NOBODY should be okay with any of it.

I posted this thread in order to get some comments, not ridicule.  

Mike commented that there's a "feeding frenzy" and he's really right and IMO, there "should" be a feeding frenzy, at this point.

Each of the "incidences" of the Obama Presidency, individually, might be able to be "explained" away, or "minimized" if you will and I've even been willing to blame some on Bush.  Those that love Obama can say that we see things that aren't there; we can see that they need to take their sunglasses off.  I have to admit that, even though I didn't approve, I didn't think harshly, at first; I'm quickly rethinking.  

From what I can see, nearly everything Obama has done since he became President has been AGAINST the United States, not for it...

Now I read that he and Michele think it's important that their daughters 'work for minimum wage"... who the heck do they think they're kidding?  There's no way they're putting their kids out to work for minimum wage and that's ALL they get to live on (I might be gullible, but I ain't buying that)... And while they might each have worked for minimum wage, that's not all they had to live on, like too many families in this country...

Let's get back to reality ...

No actual attempt at a real comment about what Barb posted?

Just a feeble (and failed) attempt to discredit Bongino.

When you start adding everything together, I think it's time people start taking notice.

Well, there is quite a feeding frenzy going on so I'm not surprised that's what you're reading.

"We don't sit in on meetings at the White House. We don't sit in on high-level meetings," the agents said."

I don't see where he claimed to have set in on high level meetings.  I take to be his opinion of what's happening in Washington, D.C and from what I'm reading all over the internet, he's not the only one thinking these things.

Just listened to a portion of the squirrelly  little guy, Koskinen, from IRS claim that there were no laws broken and when asked what criminal statutes he'd consulted, he claimed to be using "common sense"... I think things like that pretty much bears out what Bongino is saying.

{.... Bongino's former colleagues are unhappy with him parlaying his proximity to the president into a political career.

"He's trying to draw attention to himself and he's hijacking the Secret Service brand," agents who had worked with Bongino told ABCNews.com. "That's all he's got going for him."

Secret Service agents who served with Bongino but asked for anonymity confirmed his resume, but said the candidate "tends to exaggerate his importance on the presidential detail and exaggerate his proximity."

"We don't sit in on meetings at the White House. We don't sit in on high-level meetings," the agents said.

The agents said Bongino's assignments were "typical" of agents in the president's detail and that he was not a supervisor....}

{Dan Bongino ran for Senate in Maryland and got clobbered by Democrat Ben Cardin in a nearly 30% drubbing. Since then he’s made the rounds in the conservative grifter circuit, and is now selling a book to the rubes while also planning to run in an upcoming congressional race (which he’ll likely lose).

In the press release Bongino’s publisher (a division of birther website World Net Daily) just sent out they ask the following:

    Why would a successful, 12-year Secret Service agent resign his elite position in the prime of his career to run for high public office and blow the whistle on what goes on at the highest levels in Washington DC?

This is supposed to lead you to believe that Bongino saw all sorts of nefarious things done by the Obama administration, never mind that when running for Senate he never referred to these things.

But later — in the same release — Bongino answers his own question.

    He resigned from the Secret Service in 2011 to run for a U.S. Senate seat in Maryland.

Oh, well then. No need to read the stupid book, I suppose....}
