"The most charitable defense offered up on background is that Obama staffers are scandal virgins, unaccustomed to dealing with a rabid press."

About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

“One cannot get caught up with chasing news cycles in a crisis, as that is a prescription for putting out inaccurate information that does not withstand scrutiny or the test of time,”
Now that's a classic.
So the cause of all this lying is "chasing news cycles" - not a pathological desire to retain power and an inherent inability to tell the truth.
I'll enjoy evry moment of Obam-bam being hoist on his own petard, but I'm preparing for the inevitable semi-letdown because whatever happens short of impeachment or Nixon-style early exodus (don't even consider the "Biden replaces Obumbles angle - {shudder}) anything short of that is going to be way too little and way too late.
That being said, I'm settling in for some good old fashioned "here's what happens when you bite the hand(s) that supported you" to come down.
Karma's a bitch...
Weasel code for the fact O and his criminal cartel where given zero scrutiny by the media and actually have had the media covering their back - until their crimes threatened to implicate the media and/or they turned on their own. In a normal ethical America this criminal regime's malfeasance will start unravelling quickly as the lackey media and government insiders alike abandon loyalty to such a treacherous boss.
chicago mafia , yeah right ,
Folks....Obama just gave a statement to the media and cleared up ALL of this nonsense.

Obama and the media are merely having a lover's spat. Give it a week or two and all will be forgiven.
from article: "The long-term danger is that the political system and the public start to view the president, his motives and ideas through a more skeptical lens."
With the exception of Obama going 'police state' on the AP, this should have been going on last year before the election.
Hopefully these scandals will keep Obama too busy to do more mischief. The down side is that Zero will only be playing to his most ardent supporters and that means doing nothing on XL Keystone.
"...unaccustomed to dealing with a rabid press."
More like unaccustomed to not having their every lie and evasion polished and elaborated by slavish toadies in the press. Somebody asked them an actual question, they'd sic the IRS on the guy.
Oh gee, did that finally come back on them? Poor babies.
Actually the scandal virgins are right. They never had to deal with a media that gave them anything but softballs and big ol wet kisses. It's just not fair that poor Jay has to deal with all those hard questions.
I bet a lot of Americans are regretting voting for Obama 17 times last November.
thee internet was used to help elect this incompetent, and the internet is helping to expose the fool. KARAMA indeed!!!
it's hard to deal with all them damn bloggers:-)))
My fear is that the press and the Republicans will be kept so busy chasing down all these little sandals that it may draw attention away from the really damaging things that Obama may have up his sleeve to destroy America.
"thee internet was used to help elect this incompetent, and the internet is helping to expose the fool. KARAMA indeed!!!"
Coming soon to a country near you.
