Carol S. Benson: Outrage should be redirected from footballs to President

So many Americans, aided and fueled by our ultra-liberal media, are furious about Deflategate but seem oblivious to the steady stream of lies, deception, corruption and cover-ups coming from the president and his administration. The constitutional freedoms we have taken for granted have been summarily ground into the dirt by our Bully in Chief.

Obama’s administration is not the first to be riddled with corruption, bloat, arrogance and total contempt for the American people. But, combined with a total lack of transparency and ethics, Obama’s has outdone that of Tricky Dick.

At least no one was killed by under-inflated footballs .

Carol S. Benson, Modesto
