Let’s try to imagine, just for shits and giggles, what the right-wing response would have been if President Barack Obama had done these three things in one week:
1. Imposed tariffs on imported aluminum and steel without any consultation with Congress or allies.
2. Speaking to a bipartisan group of congressional leaders in the White House, recommended seizing people’s guns without worrying about due process.
3. Praised Chinese President Xi Jinping for consolidating his power and stated, “He’s now president for life. President for life. No, he’s great. And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot some day.”
Now try to imagine that 30 members of Obama’s administration lost their temporary security clearance during this same week, and one of them was Michelle’s brother who was so flat broke that he was begging Qataris, Emiratis, Turks, Russians, and Chinese to give him a billion or so dollars.
I’m just scratching the surface here, as I am sure you know. I just want to know how loud you think the howling would be if these things were done during a single week of the Obama administration.
So, how loud?
