Obama-Clinton must answer for policies, actions

President Obama had a recent news conference. He invoked the Constitution he's trampled during the past seven-plus years by wanting a nominee confirmed to replace Justice Antonin Scalia. He already had two confirmed and both seem to view the Constitution as a Steven King horror novel.

He painted Hillary Clinton a trustworthy public servant, despite her lengthy, corrupt, deceitful past and her private email server that might have been hacked before Benghazi. Did that allow compromise of information allowing the Benghazi terror attack?

He enumerated policies he and Hillary embrace -- wrapped in phony benevolence.

In question of some: How do cyclic tornado and hurricane occurrences, cold or warm winters, or natural human/mammal exhaling bring warming; how does government support Planned Parenthood; how does the intake of young male Syrian refugees support protection of American citizens; how does suffocation of financial institutions (Dodd/Frank) help businesses and job growth; how do enormous increases of handouts support debt reduction; how does wealth redistribution on a national scale bring self-reliance to Third World country industrialization; how does our unilateral reduction of fossil fuels speed renewable energy innovations; how does reducing military personnel and weapons of battle strengthen our international relations/treaties; how does requiring picture ID's suppress voting rather than curtail fraud, etc. etc.?

A "tongue-tied" press asks no such questions, but enables him to demagogue those who oppose these destructive policies.
