The Obama Administration's Wise-Guy Lawyer Approach to Politics

Lawyer-Presidents have developed a somewhat bad reputation for ethics since Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton to that President Obama has continued. Attorneys-at-Law are fine legal practitioners and too often bad innovators or inventors without comprehension of material economic policy. Pursuit of disputatious legal points with minimalistic political competence may be a fact of life for Presidents with experience in law and little besides.

Sect. Of State Kerry advocates for Syrian Civil war negotiations and a regime change while providing material war support to the rebellious opposition making the war happen. Those are crocodile tears of sympathy if ever there was for civilian casualties. The Democrats descried the Bush II invasion of privacy with the Patriot Act and Ed Snowden's most recent revelation showed the N.S.A. Tapping 70 million french phone calls. The Obama administration fogged the French government's unhappiness with that as best they could.

President Obama has practiced selective law enforcement while cutting taxes for the rich, keeping Gitmo open and furthering Harvard Business School interests as well as Harvard law. Presidential directed labor statics massaging creates a sense of unreality in the re[porting of the actual state of the economy and high joblessness rate. That's probably business as usual for a Chicago lawyer in the heat of getting rich himself. Billable hours of public debt to the client. Normal enough. The President's clients are the people of the U.S.A.
