There was a time when Obama couldn’t get a bad headline in this town. Now he’s the new Nixon. I dropped out of writing about US politics three weeks ago to finish a book and, on my return, I discover that everything’s changed. The President has been hit not by one Watergate but by three—Benghazi, the IRS, the DOJ phone records scandal—and even the mainstream media has stopped treating him like the bringer of hope and change predicted in the Bible. He's not a Messiah; he's a very naughty boy.
It’s important to remember that Obama’s second term blues began long before the scandals broke. Although he won the 2012 election, the Democrats failed to take the House, and the Senate remained vulnerable to filibuster. That might not have been such a roadblock to legislation had the Prez not spent the election trashing his opponents, calling the Republicans everything from heartless SOBs to enablers of rape. The result was that he entered his second term despised by much of the Congress and so unable to get much done. Yes, he hardballed the GOP into accepting nominal tax increases, but he failed even to pass even the slenderest of gun control bills. His political capital was exhausted within weeks.
That left Obama with an aura of lonely moral authority. …

“I look for the mainstream media to recover from their temporary attack of conscience, and begin supporting him again soon. I hope I am wrong, but the media have priors.”
They are still very much on his side, but too many people can see that the emperor has no clothes. When it became impossible to conceal it anymore, they simply toned down their cheerleading (but certainly haven’t been objective in their treatment of him).
“I doubt Obama will step down. I doubt he will be impeached. He will take direction from the same person his mentor Saul Alinsky did.”
The owners of the Democratic Party (the teachers’ unions) have too much invested in him; he ain’t going anywhere. He is their “boy”; in the middle of a nuclear arms discussion he’s liable to throw in something about hiring new teachers - it is that transparent.
Josh Meyer, a former national security writer for the Los Angeles Times, opined, “There’s a red line that no other administration has crossed before that the Obama administration has blown right past.”
Exactly. *Now* they get it.
This administration has crossed so many red lines there should be a worldwide shortage of red ink by now. But only when they came for the press, did the press notice.
The marxist media still lives by their marxist code...

Whatever happened to old Megan Hughes? Is she married with a bunch of kids? Does she ever reveal secrets to friends about Obama's life? Just wondering.
1. Greg Orme: There’s Greg Orme with his date. According to the article, Obama and Orme were “like brothers.”
2. The more I look at the prom picture, the more I am asking myself: Who is this Greg guy? How come we don’t know about him, if he was Obama’s closest friend in high school in Hawaii back in 1979?
3. Greg Orme’s Selective Service form: Through the Freedom of Information Act, can we see Greg’s Selective Service form?
4. I assume that he was required to fill one out like Obama was required to fill one out.
5. I want to compare the handwriting on Greg’s Selective Service form with the handwriting on Obama’s July29, 1980 Selective Service form, because I don’t believe that Obama filled out and signed his own Selective Service form.
6. Why doesn’t Greg talk freely to the media about his friendshlp with Obama? As I see it, Greg can talk to the media about Obama----like to The National Enquirer---without fear of prosecution.
7. . Privacy laws: That is, Obama and his cronies cannot point to federal privacy laws to try to prevent Greg from telling us all that he wants to tell us about Obama, because Greg is a private citizen, and there is still such a thing as freedom of speech and freedom of the press in this country the last time I looked.
8.. So I am asking the media and talk show hosts like Hannity, Limbaugh, and Cunningham in Cincinnati to try to find Greg, , Obama’s closest friend in high school, and see if he will reveal to the public secrets about Obama that no one knows about.
9. Greg’s other friends beside Obama: I would think that Greg Orme has had other friends besides Obama over the years.
10. So I wonder if Greg, in unguarded moments, told these friends secrets about Obama that if they were revealed to the public, Obama would be in a lot of legal and political trouble. Will any of Greg’s friends come forward and tell the media what Greg told them about Obama’s past? I wish that they would.
11. Has Greg Orme told any of his relatives about these Obama secrets? Will any of Orme’s relatives come forward and tell the media what Greg told them over the years about Obama? I wish that they would.
12. Obama’s Occidental college application form: I wonder if Greg Orme helped Obama fill it out, and so he knows what is on it. Does Greg know whether or not Obama got Occidental scholarship money reserved for foreign students?
13. For instance, does Greg know who filled out and signed Obama’s July 29, 1980 Hawaii Selective Service form if Obama did not do it?
14. Is this possible: Greg knows who signed the 1980 Hawaii Selective Service form for Obama, because he did it. He did it because his closest friend, Obama, begged him to do him this small favor.
