No, Lamar, Obama ain’t no Nixon

Hey, wait a minute. This is really getting nasty.

It’s OK for Republicans to compare President Barack Obama to Hitler, but now they’ve gone too far. Now they’re comparing him to Richard Nixon. That’s over the line.

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) was the first, accusing Obama of preparing his own “enemies list” because of critical comments made by White House aides about Fox News — and because, Alexander says, Obama’s not willing to work with Republicans.

Which is not only silly, it’s stupid. Obama doesn’t have an enemies list. Fox News has the enemies list. And there’s only one name on it: Barack Obama.

And no Democratic president has done more to reach out to Republicans than Obama — only to be stabbed in the back, time and time again.

Speaking of being stabbed in the back. Judd Gregg — yes, the same Sen. Gregg (R-N.H.) whom Obama once named Commerce secretary — that Judd Gregg then stepped up to the mic and, using a newly minted political smear, accused Obama of “Nixon-fying” the White House.

Does Gregg forget? Nixon broke the law. He would have gone to jail had he not been pardoned by Gerry Ford.

No, Obama’s not “Nixon-fying” the White House, whatever that means. But Alexander and Gregg are “Beck-afying” the Senate. Like Glenn Beck, they sound like a couple of cry-babies.
