The scandals are falling apart

[hortysir]

Nope lets get the truth and take it from there.

I have no liking for the current POTUS but I also don't like lies and trying paint something that isn't there.

However if it is there I expect the same treatment for Barry that Bush would get.

Does anyone on the left EVER think for themselves?

If they don't have a left wing site or a newspaper do it for them where would they be?

 

[Yurt]

the scandals are actually blowing up in obama's face. hence his scrambling around to do news conferences, interviews etc....

only facts would claim they are falling apart

Fixed.

figures, you have to change my actual post to make yourself right

how sad

fact is holic....the scandals are blowing up and obama is in major damage control mode

The Right has never gotten it right about President Obama for 6 years. There's no reason to believe they will get this right.

The IRS scandal can't be pinned on Obama, and ironically, the IRS scandal is smothering the Benghazi fake scandal that the inmates were obsessing over.

So where does the 'buck' stop if not at the top? Liberals don't/didn't have a problem pointing numerous fingers at Bush or the republicans but when the fingers start pointing at Obama, its alwaysl someone else s fault.

When is Obama after 4 and half years going to start taking responsibility for his administrations short comings and stop blaming the opposition.

Who gave the order to stand down about 7 hours before the deaths at Benghazi? Who ordered the IRS to compile an enemies file? Why did it take Tea Party people 2 years to get tax exempt status? Who authorized the rogue federal law enforcement agency to ship 3,000 weapons to Mexico?

The scandals are falling apart





Things go wrong in government. Sometimes it’s just bad luck. Sometimes it’s rank incompetence. Sometimes it’s criminal wrongdoing. Most of the time you never hear about it. Or, if you do hear about it, the media eventually gets bored talking about it (see warming, global).


But every so often an instance of government wrongdoing sprouts wings and becomes something quite exciting: A political scandal.


The crucial ingredient for a scandal is the prospect of high-level White House involvement and wide political repercussions. Government wrongdoing is boring. Scandals can bring down presidents, decide elections and revive down-and-out political parties. Scandals can dominate American politics for months at a time.


On Tuesday, it looked like we had three possible political scandals brewing. Two days later, with much more evidence available, it doesn’t look like any of them will pan out. There’ll be more hearings, and more bad press for the Obama administration, and more demands for documents. But — and this is a key qualification — absent more revelations, the scandals that could reach high don’t seem to include any real wrongdoing, whereas the ones that include real wrongdoing don’t reach high enough. Let’s go through them.


1) The Internal Revenue Service: The IRS mess was, well, a mess. But it’s not a mess that implicates the White House, or even senior IRS leadership. If we believe the agency inspector general’s report, a group of employees in a division called the “Determinations Unit” — sounds sinister, doesn’t it? — started giving tea party groups extra scrutiny, were told by agency leadership to knock it off, started doing it again, and then were reined in a second time and told that any further changes to the screening criteria needed to be approved at the highest levels of the agency.


The White House fired the acting director of the agency on the theory that somebody had to be fired and he was about the only guy they had the power to fire. They’re also instructing the IRS to implement each and every one of the IG’s recommendations to make sure this never happens again.


If new information emerges showing a connection between the Determination Unit’s decisions and the Obama campaign, or the Obama administration, it would crack this White House wide open. That would be a genuine scandal. But the IG report says that there’s no evidence of that. And so it’s hard to see where this one goes from here.

They can't get anything right..

Falling apart? Hell, its the perfect storm that this admin caused. Be careful in your contortions. We would hate to see you break a vertebrae.

Here we go with the ol' 'Anything not fervently anti-Obama must be propaganda' argument.

It is way to early to say whether or not the scandal can be pinned on Obama, but it occurred while he was president, and how he deals with it will be entirely on him. So far I don't see anything to show me he really cares.

Don't forget the WH leaks on the computer hacking of Irans nuclear program, that one is still unresolved.

And yet you started a thread praising him the other day. What happened, did the USMB inmates' muscle put the arm on you and get you back on the correct page?

lol

Ever notice that the Right never fails to sensationalize and exaggerate any incident to the point of absurdity if they think it is favorable to them??

Ever notice that the President, the AG, Reid AND Pelosi has condemned the IRS' over-reach?

I guess you'd like it better if we all just put our hands over our ears/eyes and go right along with this behemoth bureaucracy while they get to decide who should carry health insurance.

This time, however, after the Associated Press incident, the ordinarily and largely Liberal -leaning Mainstream Media is not anywhere near as solidly in the President's corner as in times past...

Even if the Obama Administration survives all of this - and there's a pretty damned good chance that it will - the Administration has been badly tarnished - another 'shellacking', to use Fearless Leader's words after the 2010 mid-terms...

They may not be in fatal trouble, but they're in Deep Kimchi right about now, with no real end in sight, and The Opposition circling ever-closer, now that they smell blood in the water...

The mainstream media are just trying to make a living - even if only chasing shiny objects.

Isn't the mainstream media owed by Democrats?
