A sustained Obama presidency will be weighed by the democrat party very carefully vs. an amputation done soon and quickly. A Biden / Hillary replacement will bring them a better outcome in 2016.

There is little patience for 100,000 papercuts and the salt that is Obama.

TREASON - “acting”/appointed/entrenched unaccountable bureaucrats (socialists) elevating to TOTALITARIAN tactics for the powers that be when the time is right.

DISMANTLE the IRS.

TREASON - continuous, PRE-MEDITATED, agenda-driven, in-your-face, media-complicit, AGENCY-ABETTED, representative-enabled, ongoing...

What, AM is off her medication? WUZZUP Al?

Yeah...but I loved when Joe replied to Bernstein after that remark: "Well, we have to investigate, right, Carl?" Bernstein looked a bit sheepish after Joe tagged him with that one.

Andrea ... I'm outraged that you're outraged.

I mean, after all, what difference, at this point, does it make?!

in all her years in journalism [which pre-date Watergate].

In all her years, pre-dates the dinosaurs.

Woodward called Obama a liar a few months ago. Can’t remember what for though.

She's probably worried that someone is looking at her phone records.

Sure, but will she blame The Almighty Won or blame a few underlies?

The problem here is there are no John Deans anywhere in Obama’s cabal who will come out and say there is a cancer here. Unless that happens this will generate smoke but no heat.

'hoist by one's own petard'

(idiomatic) To be hurt, or destroyed by one's own plot or device, of one's own doing which one intended for another; to be "blown up by one's own bomb". He has no one to blame but himself; he was hoisted by his own petard........... from Wiktionary.org

Andrea Mitchell is an expert on scandals: she has helped cover up so many the last few years.

The left is pushing the IRS/AP story to distract us from the real scandal of Bengazi.

Andrea climbs on the bandwagon! Must have been the AP surveillance that finally got to her.

I conclude from this weekend’s events that their Deep Throat source on this stuff is utterly unimpeachable, and has told them there’s more where this came from.

So either climb on board the train as it’s leaving the station, or get left in the dust of what used to be your credibility.

For all practical purposes the Obama Presidency is over.
It’s all Select Committees and Special Prosecutors and Democrats running for the tall grass from here on out.


In a sane world, you would be correct. I am not convinced we live in a sane world anymore.

However, I would propose one thing seemingly different than the conventional wisdom here on FR. Out of all the breaking scandals the most damaging to this administration will likely be the AP scandal. This was an attack on the media that had defended this administration at every turn and failed to scrutinize the President.

We’ll see how long their outrage lasts.

I agree. Oh, he will finish out his remaining WH years, but we are probably done with any efforts to “fundamentally transform America.”

The White House is in real trouble when these types of die hard Liberals can see that there have been abuses of power.

Methinks the journalists see the ship sinking.

Or they fear running to his defense not knowing what the next five shoes to drop will be.

There are lavish European Vacations to take and many rounds of golf to be played.
