Every time there is a major issue — or as were now referring to everything, crisis — it seems to reverberate on Obama,” said Democratic strategist Peter Fenn. “It plays into what was already a sour political mood and compounds it.” Crisis management has forced the White House to name new czars, fire political appointees and drop bombs, even as Republicans point to missteps as signs of Obama’s weak leadership and the government’s lack of competency

Surely, this isn't an example of the GOP conservatives actually learning to use the media and using the enemy's tactics (dumocrats arrogance and hubris in revealing war strategy, ie never let a crisis go to waste, no wonder they can't prosecute an effective real war) to mollify the opposition. I love how all these crises are exacerbated by their own directly and easily linked previous policies. And still the GOPe want to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They haven't figured out what the American public has because the GOPe is still smarting from the 2012 election; that Obummer, his cohorts, and their policies are vulnerable, .

The panic induced by recent headlines has also tarnished one signature accomplishment Democrats had hoped to highlight in the election — the economy.

And I love this little lie by the Hill. The economy? Are you freaking kidding me? Record unemployment, more Americans not working than ever before, and no increase in their paycheck in 6 years? No wonder his own supporters left his recent rally in MD when he started speaking of his faux economy recovery.
