The town is turning on President Obama — and this is very bad news for this White House.
Republicans have waited five years for the moment to put the screws to Obama — and they have one-third of all congressional committees on the case now. Establishment Democrats, never big fans of this president to begin with, are starting to speak out. And reporters are tripping over themselves to condemn lies, bullying and shadiness in the Obama administration.
Buy-in from all three D.C. stakeholders is an essential ingredient for a good old-fashioned Washington pile-on — so get ready for bad stories and public scolding to pile up.

The media has a short window of a few months in which to vent against perceived slights against them by the Obama Regime and to pretend that they are providing unbiased coverage. The media will reunite behind the Obama Regime just in time for the 2014 elections.
During the months leading up the 2014 election, when the lamestream media is once again a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party, they will respond to charges of media bias by pointing out how back in 2013 they ran all sorts of hard hitting articles about the Obama Regime.
In the meantime, pass the popcorn.
Send me an alert when DC takes a bodacious Obama on the Obamadork.
I’ll believe it when I see/hear it.
Hit the nail right on the head.
That’s exactly what’s happening. As Obama said. A sideshow.
IRS: Criminal Acts.
AP: Civil Rights Violation (First Amendment).
Benghazi: TREASON.
Don’t let the first two obscure the last one. It’s the bigee.
Lot's of dynamics in play here. Libtards always think they can control the chaos which they generate. But they can't.
Oh, BS. MSNBC assured its viewers this was not the case.
The murder of an American Ambassador by our enemies is a very big deal. Not only do we need to find out how it happened and take corrective action so it won’t happen again, we need to demonstrate to our enemies that we really will defend ourselves. Obummer is sending the opposite signal.
Oh, BS. MSNBC assured its viewers this was not the case.
The media piled onto Clinton in '93, rallied behind him again for the '94 elections, piled onto him again in '95, rallied behind him again for the '96 elections, piled onto him again in '97, rallied behind him again for '98 elections, piled onto him again in '99, and then rallied behind Algore for the 2000 elections.
The media is following the same pattern with Obama, except that they were too much in love with Obama to say anything bad about him during his entire first term. Plus, if you say anything bad about Our Glorious Leader you are clearly a racist. That also stifled them quite a bit until they saw that other media types were starting to get away with criticizing Obama without being labeled as a racist.
I fully expect the media to rally around Obama and the Democrats next year, and then start piling on again after the 2014 elections. They will then rally around the Democrats again before the 2016 elections.
>> but there is always a danger that the dog piling could spiral out of control
Exactly. Also, once disdain is established in the public eye, chances for a full recovery are slim to none.
Dang, it sounds like MSNBC's ratings have really gone up. Are you sure that at least one of those viewers is not dead? Dead people vote for Democrats all the time. Maybe they also watch MSNBC.
Collectivists are quite ready and able to turn on and kill their own. Bunches of Stalin’s dearest buds were shot or frozen to death in the camps. After all, a moral frame is the first thing thrown overboard off the good ship Secular.
But their worldview does not change, and no one should think that the liberal press machine has done so. They may turn and savage the person Mr Obama, but the religion permits it, and they will move on to nominate and worship another high priest.
The first one, effectively, was a coup by the government to maintain its own power. Not a small deal.
I'll believe it when I see it.
This has nothing to do with “Republicans” - this is something that every American, whether citizen or resident or tourist, should care about. It could destroy our country.
“The most charitable defense offered up on background is that Obama staffers are scandal virgins, unaccustomed to dealing with a rabid press.”
What rabid press?! You mean that very timid lap-dog of a press?!!
This time, it’s different.
What the media knows is that call records for 20 of the AP’s phone numbers were grabbed for a few months.
Holder would not say more than that. So who else has had their call records grabbed? NY Times? ABC? CNN? They must assume that ALL of them have had their phone records snagged by this administration.
And if they grabbed the call records, could they have wiretapped the actual calls too? In the absence of anything contrary they’ve got to assume that THAT also happened.
That makes Obama big and scary enough to their survival that they may finally get over their ideological fealty to him and start standing up for their own First Amendment rights.
Not holding my breath.
He should have been impeached in his first term. Welcome to the party, boys.
