Michael Barone talks about Obama’s gangster government.  David Fredosso wrote a book titled Gangster Government: Barack Obama and the New Washington Thugocracy.  Joy Pullman has joined in with The Age of Mafia Government in which she says Obama’s scandals aren’t aberrations; they’re Mafia style governance.

The rest of the article is devoted to showing how striking are the similarities Obama’s government bears to the Mafia.  It’s sobering.
