Charlie Rangel: Obama answers not enough

By KEVIN ROBILLARD | 5/15/13 8:11 AM EDT

Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday that he believes President Barack Obama owes the American public explanations for both the seizure of Associated Press phone records by the Department of Justice and the IRS targeting of conservative groups.

“We have to give him an opportunity to root out any wrongdoing, whether it’s just negligence or criminal,” Rangel said. “But, for right now, to say that the president should be doubted? No. He has to come forward and give more of an answer than he has done.

My friends, how deep in the grease must one be before Charlie Rangel says "dude, you gotta tell 'em what really happened"?
"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840

When even a bald-faced lying thief like Rangel calls you out, you should realize you've been caught in the barnyard...

Makes you wonder who's he borrowed for the occasion...

Oh, Charlie doesn't lack for balls, it's intelligence and integrity he lacks.

It reminds me of the time when Keith Richards said Amy Winehouse had a drug problem.
Let nothing trouble you,
Let nothing frighten you. 
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience attains all that it strives for.
He who has God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.
