Obama and Whistleblowers

Reportedly, President Barack Obama's minions scrubbed one on his websites of a section that had said something to the effect that whistleblowers were so valued by Obama and would be protected under his administration.  The words were published sometime around the beginning of his administration or prior and, like so many other of his stated policies back then and now, completely phony.  In fact, they were Orwellian phony since the Obama govt. has gone after whistleblowers with an enthusiasm (unprecedented arrests and prosecutions of whistleblowers) unlike any administration in U.S. history.  These whistleblowers have tried to uncover lawlessness and immorality in government with courage and true patriotism for the most part, but the so-called Constitutional Scholar, who used to think there were "57" states in the Union, believe it or not, has all but declared whistleblowers as enemies of the state, while his wisecracking Attorney General, Eric Holder, has thrown the book at them.   It is little wonder that the Obamaites had to scrub words from a website that were proving to be a real embarrassment to them.
