Are you suggesting Obama’s people are creating a misdirection? But why with a sex scandal? The media will misdirect for Obama all day long if he but asks and all without having to suffer any political damage in the process or any taint to his image. We’ll be hearing nothing but how evil oil companies are because of this oil spill and how utterly corrupt Wall Street and the entire capitalist system is because of Goldman Sachs for months to come with nary a word about the on-rushing economic damage from Obamacare or from the massive tax hikes coming our way.
Because they know it won't hurt him. It'll make him more human to some. His degenerate base will celebrate it because they love personal failure. The kind of people who see it as a moral failure are the kind of people who would never vote for him in the first place.
They think the culture is so far gone that this will take everything else off the front pages. They might be right.

...because Monicagate caused Clinton’s base to come to his support and demonize the Republican puritans. At the time very few people were middle of the road. Many Independents went to the support of Clinton, because it was just “sex” a private issue. As I woman, I was surprised at how many conservative (politically) men showed sympathy to Clinton on this issue.
