You know, the 52% who like government cover-ups of terrorist attacks, approve of the IRS targeting groups that like the word "constitution", like the idea of killing babies with scissors, and now support a guy who steals AP phone records.

Serious question: Does the AP story finally tip the media against Obama (as in, will they finally report the news instead of covering his backside)? If this doesn't, I'm not sure what will.

Benghazi has heated up and you can hear Obama's contradicting statements. Where was he and what did he do for those missing 7 hours after he was informed?
The IRS targeting specific groups.
The Justice Department tapping over 20 phone lines of the AP.
And in the background you have Boston and Gosnell.
If something doesn't break it never will

Ill disagree with you there. I think there is a 5-10% chunk that hold on to the 'ideal' but have run out of giving him the benefit of the doubt. Because this is now not just Republicans and eventually I think someone is going to ask why he keeps blaming others and doesn't take any responsibility himself? I'm not hoping for a huge turn around because you are correct that a vast majority of those 52% will find nothing wrong with anything he does. But that 5-10% may.

I've been a little surprised by the surge of coverage all of this has started garnering from all media outlets and not just the conservatives. I think the scales have finally been tipped with the most recent revelations on Benghazi thanks to Issa & Co. Add to that the healthcare debacle and now the IRS... I think the media may be cutting their losses at this point and making the move to protect the next heir of the Democrat party, which many believe would be Hillary. I've noticed that they have been very quiet about her since she exited stage left after her little performance on the Hill on this very topic a few months ago. I think Obama's being left out on his lonesome now to fend for himself and I have a feeling that things won't bode so well for him now that he may not have the media running interference for him 24/7 now even with the 52% crowd.

This IRS thing will be interesting. Did they actually delay funds to conservative groups? What were the dollar amount? I'm not the conspiracy theory type but depending on those numbers it could be argued that they changed the past elections. This could just be getting started...

Most of it was burying them under with paperwork and asking questions they have no business asking.

Not only that, but what about some of the information available on those applications that has been reported to have been leaked to Democratic Operatives and then used to attack the Romney campaign and its supporters. Very hairy stuff here...

And I just heard about the IRS reporting that it was only "two rogue agents" who were responsible for all of this. That's total bull....

Tell me about it. Have you seen the lady who was in charge of the whole mess! Yowzers! Talk about a face only a mother could love! But fear not, she's now in charge of Obamacare :roll:

Also, can you really 'fire' people who already put their notices in? I mean if they were already leaving....

I'm still hung up on Benghazi. It looks like Pickering is going to testify next week. Should be interesting. I just want to know who gave the Stand Down order, and did it play into the Admiral and General getting re assigned because they were trying to help, and who pushed the 'Its the video' line.
Glad to see Susan Rice was able to parlay THAT into being the top candidate for Natl Sec Advisor :roll:

The IRS was just reacting to a movie. Nothing to see here. After all, what difference does it make? :lol:

Do I think Obama knew? Absolutely. But like Rush said, Obama doesn't have to tell liberals in the IRS what to do. They already know what to do: to eliminate all viable opposition.
