Congratulations!… Obama & Holder Make 2011 List of 10 Most Corrupt DC Politicians
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, January 2, 2012, 5:09 PM
Congratulations Barack and Eric!
You’re in good company. Several democrats made this year’s list.
Oh look, It’s Alcee Hastings the impeached judge!
Here’s more on this year’s winners as reported at Judicial Watch.
Attorney General Eric Holder: Attorney General Eric Holder now operates the most politicized and ideological Department of Justice (DOJ) in recent history. And revelations from the Operation Fast and Furious scandal suggest that programs approved by the Holder DOJ may have resulted in the needless deaths of many, including a federal law enforcement officer.
Fast and Furious was a DOJ/Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) “gun-running” operation in which guns were sold to Mexican drug cartels and others, apparently in hopes that the guns would end up at crime scenes. This reckless insanity seems to have resulted in, among other crimes, the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, who was killed in a shootout with Mexican criminals in December 2010. Fast and Furious guns were found at the scene of his death.
The Fast and Furious operation by itself should have resulted in Holder’s resignation, but it is the cover-up that has prompted serious calls for Holder’s ouster.
President Barack Obama: President Obama makes Judicial Watch’s “Ten Most Wanted” list for a fifth consecutive year. (The former Illinois Senator was also a “Dishonorable Mention” in 2006.) And when it comes to Obama corruption, it may not get any bigger than Solyndra. Solyndra was once known as the poster child for the Obama administration’s massive “green energy” initiative, but it has become the poster child for the corruption that ensues when the government meddles in the private sector. Solyndra filed for bankruptcy in September 2011, leaving 1,100 workers without jobs and the American taxpayers on the hook for $535 million thanks to an Obama administration stimulus loan guarantee.
Despite the Obama administration’s reticence to release details regarding this scandal, much is known about this shady deal. White House officials warned the president that the Department of Energy’s loan guarantee program was “dangerously short on due diligence,” nonetheless the Obama administration rushed the Solyndra loan through the approval process so it could make a splash at a press event. The company’s main financial backer was a major Obama campaign donor named George Kaiser. While the White House said Kaiser never discussed the loan with White House officials, the evidence suggests this is a lie. And, further demonstrating the political nature of the Obama administration’s activities, the Energy Department pressured Solyndra to delay an announcement on layoffs until after the 2010 elections. Despite the public outrage at this scandalous waste of precious tax dollars, President Obama continues to defend the indefensible and has refused to sack anyone over the Solyndra mess.

I don’t doubt that Obama and Holder will eventually be found to be the most corrupt in history, but as far as what is known as fact right now the hands-down winner should be Alcee Hastings. He’d still be in prison today if not for a jury which was apparently in training for the OJ trial, and was impeached for corruption and convicted by a Democratic Congress, the first federal judge so removed in nearly a century.
He was elected and reelected to Congress by a district as corrupt as he is.
Male Silverback commented:
I hate to bring this up but… there is quite a few black politicians on that list. Was that racist of me to notice?
Dana Garcia commented:
There are two pix of Spencer Bacchus, ahem.
FurryGuy commented:
Finally there is something Barry and his Merry Band of Marxists are good at, and officially recognized for it. Too bad that thing is governmental corruption.
saveus commented:
What about the people refusing to prosecute terrorist maj. hassan?
Sorry To Live in Illinois commented:
You know, unless the American people rise up, in force, one of the guys on the list is going to be re-elected president.
It disappoints me to no end that the right cannot field a candidate that doesn’t suck in some way. None of the candidates running have got me excited and I swear if this turns into another Ron Paul thread, I’ll stop coming to this website.
The republican party is blowing it. It’s a shame the teaparty went away after the 2010 election.
Ronald Reagan is rolling over in his grave right now.
Christopher Taylor commented:
I think President Obama’s involvement with Solyndra is less corruption and more just gullibility and ignorance. I think he got played, hard, by people who he wanted to be right and believed in so much he wasn’t interested in digging too hard.
FurryGuy commented:
Either way shows the man’s unsuitability for high office. Criminal culpability or criminal stupidity. Yeah, that’s inspiring.
#1AMERICAN commented:
Buck Obama and all his corrupt assssholes…may they all be rotting in prison in 2013
99RedBallons commented:
#8
Boy I have to disagree 100%. The Dems thought they were going to be in power for 40 years they had no idea that they would be in the situation they are in. They thought they would be able to cover their tracks after time went by and now they are trying to cover up their tracks since 2010 elections. The GOP is gutless for not pushing back and bringing in independent investigators for a long list of violations of the Obama admin and their oath to our country.
Why has no action been taken against the queen of corruption maxy waters for over three years. Issa needs to step up and take some action.

psawyer commented:
In the case of Fast and Furious the crime was worse than the cover up. Ask the families of Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata. In my opinion F&F is worse than Solyndra. And #2-Male Silverback…I also noticed that 6 of the 10 are black.
squeaky commented:
one of the top ten most corrupt who just happens to be one of the most admired? hmmmm! i guess that kindda’ explains the disconnect. but then again there’s that eyes of the beholder thing and all. he might be a crook but he’s their crook…..

cattle prodmet ass commented:
why can’t these 2 scum be impeached, why won’t the congress do there what is right. cattle prod meet ass
Christopher Taylor commented:
Yeah I consider Fast & Furious much more compelling a case in terms of corruption. Solyndra could be explained by stupidity and lack of judgment, but Fast & Furious is a deliberate policy decision from the very top to try to push gun control. That’s just evil.
gus commented:
Christopher Taylor. Can you explain the connection between Obama and his “bundlers” and Kaiser and Solyndra with a straight face???? And by straight I don’t mean heterosexual.
FurryGuy commented:
I have a sneaking suspicion the people on this august list would consider their inclusion a matter of pride, not shame.
Callipygian1 commented:
When the “fog of war” dissipates, I believe that the Green Stimulus fiasco will turn out to be another Teapot Dome scandal that will define this administration.
gee! commented:
#12 bing……..agree
Christopher Taylor commented:
I think President Obama saw this as a great investment for government, a terrific way to kickstart a new economy into a brilliant new future led by his genius into a new millennium of solar power and clean energy. I don’t think he went down a list of people and said “well these are my buddies and these aren’t” I think he went down a list and went “wow these guys really seem to be on the ball and speak my language, and look, they agree with me on all these things about life and the future, they deserve money!”
In other words, the guys behind these organizations were clever, donating money to get noticed and show “good faith” in the “right” politics, and sold their plans, products and what the wanted to do very well, in terms that president Obama found convincing and neato, just like he believed.
I think President Obama is massively in over his head, he’s an academic theorist with little real world experience dumped head first into a job he’s not qualified for, and people are having little problem pulling things over on him.
gus commented:
Holy Sh!t. Christopher Taylor is “BAT SH@T” crazy. Deluded, and a Phi Beta Moron.
How does that happen???
Christopher Taylor commented:
Gus: so what you’re trying to say is that you disagree with my guess?
tommy mc donnell commented:
#20…do you have any idea how many of these green fiascoes the obama administration has supported? they all either go out of business or move to china. they get hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and six months later they got bankrupt. who ended up with all the money. why don’t you check to see how much ended up in the coffers of the democratic party. the cemocratic party war chest is the only thing being stimulated.
gus commented:
Christopher Taylor. You are a fvcking loser. The fact that you’d respond the way you did, indicates that you are a simpleton idiot.
Go fvck yourself chump.
gus commented:
Tommy, and all of the fiascos made Obama bundler con men richer.
Christopher Taylor commented:
I’m sorry I bothered you so much Gus, I just am presuming incompetence and credulity rather than corrupt evil in President Obama. I don’t think he’s wicked, just a fool.
gus commented:
Christopher Taylor. You don’t bother me. You amuse me. And you make sick.
Molon Labe commented:
Gee these are Craig’s ten favorite politicians. Something must be wrong?
Joanne commented:
Christopher – I suppose Obama doesn’t know he isn’t Constitutionally ineligible either.
Patty commented:
Take a good look at their face. These are the people who make laws and we the stupid obey them?
Take this trash out of Washington. They say that Congress has a real low poll number. 11% favorability and some numb skulls say that it has to do with the Tea party candidates who won in 2010. Who do they think they are, I am pretty sure that those who won have world’s less dirt than these above. But looks like there is some room for Pelosi and Reid.
Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
Congratulations Barack and Eric!
You’re in good company.
You mean the corruption goes right up to the top? Whodathunkit??
squeaky commented:
“..President Obama saw this as a great investment for government..” much like the current value of government motors. nice payback for a bundler/supporter also.
squeaky commented:
government motors – stock value that is. sounds of don ho’s “tiny bubble..” comes to mind.
BS-meter commented:
Sixty percent of these asshats are Holder’s “people’?
Say it ain’t so!
MikeSopes commented:
Where’s Ron Paul on that list? With all of his earmarks and unsuccessful bills, wasting the people’s money, he should find a spot there.
wlbj commented:
All of you attacked Christopher Taylor for his comments. I think to a point he is right. Obama is the “governor” in Blazing Saddles. He has no clue what is happening. That is why he has surrounded himself with all the “advisors” he has that we are paying for. However they are leading him around like the “gov” I mentioned before. The problem is he has more than one Headley Lamar helping him out.
Also I believe the democratic party would cover for him if he committed murder the same way that they did for the Clinton’s.
FurryGuy commented:
Eric Holder testified before Congress, saying essentially the same thing, he had no clue what was going on regarding Fast and Furious.
Why say Holder is lying in his sworn testimony when emerging evidence about the Solyndra scandal shows Obama knew exactly what was going on and actively encouraged the looting of public monies by subordinates.
But if you are correct that Barry is totally clueless and subordinates within his administration are going rogue still doesn’t absolve him at all. He is the man in charge, the buck stops with him. Criminal culpability or criminal stupidity. Either way he is not qualified to hold the office.
raul commented:
Who said the tea party went away! Just because this corrupt administration put the lie out,dont believe it! Btw anyone out there in congress introducing impeachment proceedings against obama and holder! And if not WHY!
