Obama’s Commencement Speech Revisited

Last Sunday, President Obama addressed Ohio State’s Class of 2013 thusly:

Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They’ll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices.

Cool speech, wasn’t it?  Here’s a quick rundown of some of the big headlines over the last week:

1. The Administration messed up in Benghazi – and ABC news showed they directly lied to the American people about the root cause of the attack.
2. The IRS specifically and deliberately targeted the President’s political foes during the 2012 election cycle.
3. The Obama Justice Department snagged phone records – both professional and personal – for AP reporters.  They didn’t say why.
