Democrats managed to keep control of the senate in 2012. Otherwise, Barry might be toast.

I suspect the IRS and perhaps the AP scandals were put out there deliberately by O’Chavez’s people to distract from Benghazi.The conditions of those affairs were not devised so as to get a scandal going, though. They merely reflect how a caudillo does his thing.

It would fit the profile I've developed that says, "occupy the minds of the people with trivial matters while the more important matters go on behind our backs"

Not very sophisticated, but I thought this then (and still do) when the IAF strafed and bombed the west Bank outposts it was forced to vacate just before the Faulkland Islands war (Dec 80 .. 81 ?? )(which was SUCH a major, 4 colored map, every night, float the British navy on the QE2 affair.)

Come April or May, Israel was forgotten and we were into another Presidential election season.

What happened to/in Israel ?

"occupy the minds of the people with trivial matters while the more important matters go on behind our backs"

Obama knows this is his final term in office

Unless he can complete his revolution in the near future. In that case, he is only getting started.

There are shades of gray at work here. The fact that he hasn’t been perp walked out of the oval office might say that he’s “getting away with it”. But OTOH if he becomes toxic in Washington as the Rats abandon him in droves he will have suffered those consequences that are not trivial. I think there is a non-zero chance that he’ll psychologically crack. In addition to not being very smart he’s not very tough either.

I totally disagree with you.

I’ll admit that he took this flagrant in your face attitude when he released a phony BC.

But, we’ve haven’t seen the bottom of this yet. I think once he throws one too many people under the bus or it’s shown that he indeed knew about these things...ala having a John Dean in the WH, it’ll be a matter of time before he’s laughed out.

He’s already the running joke of nighttime and SNL.

We haven’t heard from Petreaus, or what happened with Hillary during the 10 pm call... plus what he discussed with the IRS union representative just prior to the IRS going after T-Partiers.

No.. no...our constitution is tyranist proof... We must win back the gov’t in 2014.

You do have a point there. And apparently it wasn’t Groucho but Freud who said that. Allegedly. :)

Obama is no dummy, and neither are those pulling his strings for him - this is a coup

That's pretty much where I come out.

Last week I was floating on clouds thinking these scandals would bring Obama low...but his week I began to see things differently...hence this vanity.

You don’t think the obamunists don’t have control of the election results yet? They demonstrated they can do a presidential election and they have a year and a half to perfect techniques for the senatorial elections. They can get any results they want with the touch screen machines already. I am waiting to see how ham handed it will get.

They may well see the danger but we are depending on Boehnhead to lead the charge and Boehnhead is trying to accommodate to the Rulers so he gets to keep his perks and position in the USSSA

0bama threw down a bunch of race cards at Moorehouse.
I read that to mean 0bama is worried. 0bama sees the need to proffer himself as a victim, again, and to paint the issue as an attack from the privilaged “Whites” against blacks, Hispanics and LGBT

The current Obama Scandals are merely the irritating collateral damage whipping around all the crap he is trying to force down our throats.

This may be his way of telling us he’s untouchable, and can and will do as he pleases, because we daren’t oppose him.

80 million gun owners? What say you?

How exactly does juggling 3 scandals (Benghazi, IRS, and A/G bugging the AP) all at once work out for Obammie?

It overwhelms those who are investigating him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That may be true. But Slick Willie and the Hildabeast had as many scandals, if not more. What started out as a simple investigation into some penny-ante real estate deal in Arkansas soon developed into a full blown investigation dealing with rape, murder, lying, oral sex, more lying, and ultimately ending with impeachment.

I pray to God Obastard soon faces the same ordeal.

Nope, because there is something we can do about it. We (meaning right thinking voters and even the mushy middle) could sweep the dem party out of the Senate in 2014 and solidify conservatives in the house.

This kind of scandal and insouciance regarding the scandal is the kind of thing that motivates the silent majority to show up at the polls.

It’s not a presidential election year and politics and politicians have to focus on the home vote and this kind of dirty tricks never plays well at the local level.

What we need to do now, is pull together and demand an end to public employee unions. The complicity of the NTEU in this IRS scandal gives us another chance to hit back at the unions and their dem handmaidens.

As a happy gun aficionado I used to agree.

But in the last few weeks I have been thinking that Mr. Gun Owner, once ID'd as such by his family doctor, might first get a letter from the IRS inviting him to a tete-a-tete at their office.

In due time, he will sell his beloved arsenal to pay for legal fees.
