I was being somewhat sardonic, I suppose, but let's look at your assertions:

If the country was still under the rule of law Obama would never have gotten out of Chicago without going to prison --he certainly wouldn't be president.

Maybe. What "crime" was he guilty of pre-President? Getting Jack Ryans' divorce records unsealed? Arguing in court for sub prime loan extortion as a community organizer?

And we wouldn't have 46 openly Treasonous Senators still infesting the US Senate.

Ahh, no. This is undoubtedly exaggerated. You must be referring to some vote that you disagree with. Voting the wrong way is not generally regarded as treason by most rational observers. Voting for a law that is later held to be unconstitutional is not treason. This is a statement of political opposition, at most.

In an episode of The Unit, the CO's wife says there isn't one law for the rich and another law for everyone else --there is no law for the rich.

This must be from a TV show or something, making it fiction. If it were actually true, those governors from Illinois wouldn't be in prison, but they are.

if you're rich and politically connected you can do anything you want, especially if you're of a certain "liberal" political persuasion.

This is certainly an exaggeration. Lots of rich liberals get convicted. Alcee Hastings was impeached and removed from office as a judge for taking a bribe. He missed a criminal conviction because the bribe'or took the 5th and refused to testify, and don't forget those governors.

Obama is untouchable. He could be televised killing a child and get away with it.

Hyperbole, most certainly. Look at Nixon. The career prosecutors at DOJ kept on going, and got convictions of the key players. Nixon would have been convicted but for the pardon by Gerald Ford. We may debate whether Ford was smart to do this, but whether he had the power to do so is undoubted.

Conventional wisdom is those two police beat reporters at WaPo caused Nixon's downfall. Baloney! They just got the publicity. The prosecutors were doing their job, made the cases, got Mitchell, Dean, Haldeman, Erlichman and the others because of sound prosecutorial tactics, not because the names were in the papers.

Hopefully, we will never have to find out whether you are literally right. Obama enjoys a certain freedom of action to get away with a lot, including having a Vice President that the thought of him as President would make most Americans wake up screaming in the middle of the night, and a comfortable position in the Senate. I wonder about Benghazi, though. There may be a lot more "stuff" there than one fan can handle.

Obama was on the primary Presidential ticket in Indiana in 2008 with Hillary Clinton by FRAUD. One wonders if this had not happened if things would have turned out differently. The big question is just how much more of this happened elsewhere.

Well, that's a bit exaggerated. It may seem that way, but if it were really that way, the Annual Dinner of the Ohio Ex-Governors Association would not be held in a wing of the state pen. We couldn't stand to live in a society where EVERY criminal got caught.

If Abe Fortas had not been able to play the 5th Circuit back in 1948, we might not have heard of Lyndon Johnson. If Richard Nixon hadn't been caught acting like a Democrat, Gerald Ford would have remained a prominent but highly regarded Congressman, and Jimmy Carter would be an obscure ex-Governor instead of on the platform with El Diablo.

Almost makes it sound like an episode of Star Trek or something.

Edit.... I meant to say Illinois ex-governors, of course. I got carried away, sorry!
