President Asterisk

“As we have argued before, Barack Obama’s re-election deserves to be listed with an asterisk in the record books. He is the political equivalent of an athlete found to have used illicit performance-enhancing drugs,” writes James Taranto in the Wall Street Journal, and continues:

“Whether he would have won in 2012 absent the IRS’s political corruption is unknowable. We know only that he did win with the help of a corrupt IRS. And if indeed the election was stolen, many in the media were complicit in its theft.”

Some of us have wondered how he could be reelected presiding over such an awful economy. A corrupt IRS suppressing his opposition’s get-out-the-vote drive is how.
