Obama Own-goal update: THIS S— JUST GOT REAL
Powerline Blog ^ | 5-15-13 | Steven Hayward

Nunes: So when they went after the AP reporters, right? Went after all of their phone records, they went after the phone records, including right up here in the House Gallery, right up from where I’m sitting right now. So you have a real separation of powers issue that did this really rise to the level that you would have to get phone records that would, that would most likely include members of Congress, because as you know…

I thought of that, too, but that would mean that people in the House (and not in the Senate?) are considered risks how?

This is an intrusion of the Executive on the Legislative, as though the Legislative had no say over matters. I should think NSA or CIA would be more than enough assistance to the Legislative, but Holder is 0bama’s firewall. And conduit.

Remember the Missouri Truth Squads of 2008. This is that gone national.

Who in your mind is worse overall; Biden or Obama?

Wiretap has a connotation of recording conversations. What AP has exposed is collection of telephone records that show dates, times and numbers.

It sounds like the Congressman perhaps used the wrong word.

Or perhaps his role is to fan the fire in that side issue to keep diminishing Benghazi

I listened to NPR this morning. It was in interesting report. First they mentioned that Benghazi has been cleared up now that the emails were released. The spin in their story was that when you see the context of everything you understand that all the stuff coming out, even the blaming it on the movie, was just one of those, you know, fog of war things.

And then they went on to the IRS and AP wiretaping things and positively reported Obama’s refreshing “take charge” attitude and leadership about getting to the bottom of it.

It was pretty comical, and kinda scary.

I knew Obama had his eyes on the Tea Party, and I truely believe it began on that day when hundreds of thousands marched on Washington DC, and went to the Capitol Building.

I was standing on the west side of the Capitol lawn when I saw a helicoper over us. It was Marine One.

When he saw that crowd of people he knew he had to find a way to contain us. He used the IRS to do so.

But I have a gut feeling that Biden’s hands are tainted by this as well. So if impeachment occurs, perhaps it it be a dual one...

President Boehner?

Shifting focus from the #1 scandal - Benghazi - basis for treason.

IRS & telephone scandals are being pushed to the front by marxist media.

Why? HELLry is NOT involved in those 2 scandals.

“Protect HELLry for 2016 at all costs!”

Who in your mind is worse overall; Biden or Obama?

In my mind that's not the issue. They're both part of a criminal enterprise that's endangering this country. What's important now is to stop the damage and use the scandals to hammer the Dems. Object: to win the Senate and increase House Republicans in the mid-terms. If Republicans control both houses, then I might be open to impeachment talk.

Right now both the public and media have been aroused from a stupor. Everyone's terrified of the IRS and the media can't believe their own guy double-crossed them with the AP overreach. Our side has a huge opportunity here. As Democrat Rahm Emmanuel once said, "never let a serious crisis go to waste."

Thanks for that answer which I agree with. But you didn’t answer my question.

As I said, that’s not the issue. To give you a direct answer, clearly Obama. But as President both are capable of doing irreparable harm. Obama’s evil and cunning; Biden’s stupid which makes him easy to manipulate. Biden as President would merely be a puppet with radical insiders pulling the strings.
