D.C. turns on Obama
Politico ^ | 05/14/13

Posted on 05/14/2013 6:29:13 PM PDT by AtlasStalled

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.

Anyone getting the impression that DC has "turned" on Obama? I don't think so.

And what will happen next will be a column from Politico explaining how Obama "survived."

O’Reilly was singin’ the blues about this tonight. He’s afraid that Obama receiving heat for being a dictator only makes the freeloaders love him more. If that’s possible.

Whose byline?

I’m not going to that site to read the article, not giving them any ad revenue.

So what is Politico’s beef with Obama? Why wait until now to actually report what is going on in DC. Tomorrow morning they will still be liberals.

“Obama’s aloof mien and holier-than-thou rhetoric have left him with little reservoir of good will, even among Democrats”

Holy crap...can someone tell me if these two guys doing this story were kissing Obama’s butt before or have they always been like this?

Politico is the Us Weekly of news sites. It’s for people who find spoon fed low-information rags too much effort to read.

The fact that they’re mentioning this is ominous for Obama.

Don’t start dancin’ just yet, we must be forever vigilant... and very sad that our nation was so eager to ensconce the first black president, that they cared not to look at his qualifications or background...

i can’t believe my eyes:

“This White House’s instinctive petulance, arrogance and defensiveness have all worked together to isolate Obama at a time when he most needs a support system”

More proof that Benghazi is so bad that the establishment has to pick between the past (Obama) and their future (Hillary).

That’s sure a major statement! It means that maybe many of them have felt he was an a****** too but they were just too scared to say so until they had plenty of company. They may still agree with him politically on most things, but maybe the fact that he’s crazy is beginning to get to them.

These scandals keep piling up and the worst of it is that Zero is claiming to not be aware of any of this. He’s admitting to being clueless about his administration and not being capable of running the government.

Maybe, but I think what is really happening its that all but the real moonbats are going to abandon Obama, just like conservatives did for Nixon and Bush.

Clinton survived, because the only thing that really bubbled to the top was the sex scandal. Low information voters could rationalize that.

But, the combination of the IRS shenanigans and the AP investigation is gong to hit a nerve. And, if they start paying attention to the Benghazi investigation, it will no longer be a side show.

I think the sharks are smelling the blood in the water. And, it may bring even more scandals out if the woodwork, if the victims think they have enough cover now.

But remember, the media may be trying to save themselves AND we have the Clinton camp manipulating in the background.

I thought it was Choom and Reggie Love that did that.

Yup. The same media that helped create the monster are now distancing themselves from it.

The AP move was a warning shot for all whistleblowers and confidential sources.
The Adminisstration is telling them all to shut up and not to provide any more info on Benghazi.
