Obama agenda marches on despite controversies
Yahoo! News ^ | 5/18/13 | David Espo | Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite Democratic fears, predictions of the demise of President Barack Obama's agenda appear exaggerated after a week of cascading controversies, political triage by the administration and party leaders in Congress and lack of evidence to date of wrongdoing close to the Oval Office.

"Absolutely not," Steven Miller, the recently resigned acting head of the Internal Revenue Service, responded Friday when asked if he had any contact with the White House about targeting conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status for special treatment.

"The president's re-election campaign?" persisted Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif.

"No," said Miller.

Note how they’re now “controversies” instead of “scandals”?

This clown is like the 3 monkies( hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil) I wonder if he’d admit to knowing that his beloved had two kids. He may say I found out about it after reading the news reports.
There has to be a legal way of telling him he’s full of crap and he’s responsible for it all.

Absolutely, AP has gotten over their little pique and are back to sheltering their boy.

Republicans have "scandals". Democrats have "controversies".

Yes, congressmen standing up and repeatedly saying "You lie!".

Outrageous?? Any more outrageous than Sen. Hillary Clinton declaring "Bush KNEW!" from the floor of the Senate in February 2002?

The only thing that surprises me, and maybe it should not surprise me at all, is how quickly they got over their little setback, and got back back to the real agenda, of being his biggest cheerleader.

“Obama agenda marches on despite controversies”

AP is dense, or as Mao tse Tung might have said: The flowers of revolution are springing up through the fresh soil like a thousand bayonets up your butt.

WASHINGTON (AP) ... and lack of evidence to date of wrongdoing close to the Oval Office.
++++++++++++++
Well, this the AP so what do you expect? An honest report would read something like this:

WASHINGTON (AP) ... and a coverup that has, at least for now, kept the scandals from reaching the Oval Office.

That's exactly what the posted article is all about. The theme: Despite what you might think from following recent events, the sky isn't falling on the Obama administration or on the congressional Democrats. Our agenda is still moving "forward." So cheer up, fellow travelers, and MOVE ON, the sun is coming up tomorrow, and we will continue to do "transformative change" in the country with our "progressive" rule.

So AP's rift with the administration over the Justice Dept.'s telephone register snooping is already over, no more complaining. No surprise there. The MSM: oh, so predictable!!!

The "scandals" are all about creating diversions that are all about diverting attention away from I o's agenda.

Worse yet is when we remember that he does not even need to be in office.
If the 4 million conservative voters who did not vote would have voted in the election, obama would have lost in a large landslide!

But they did not and the country will pay for it beyond what we have so far.
Watch for the 2 to 4 SCOTUS nominations to come during his term.
They will swing the court solidly, irrevocably to the dark side... probably forever.


see my tag line, but do not weep as you who did not vote caused this!

Their personal phones were taped and they see nothing wrong. If Bush had done this all heck would break out.
