today was the Sunday News Shows on CBS, ABC, FOX and NBC...not much new. Rehash of the weeks happenings.

Seems the air is almost out of the "Scandal Ballon". The only place these "scandals" will live in the hearts and minds of those that hate Obama. The remainder of the Nation has realized long ago...there was no "there"...there.

It can already be seen in the number of "scandal" threads. I, will not be commenting on anymore Benghazi threads unless Obama is arrested.

Irs is over

Umbrella-gate never had legs

AP never stuck

sorry C_D scandaloholics...time to put down the bottle.

Very hard to quantify. You can't just look at a White person and say they're a White supremacist and their is nothing to prevent a White supremacist from voting for Obama. Whereas we have documented proof that 95%+ Blacks not only voted for Obama but approve of his performance despite high unemployment and the loss of wealth for Blacks during his tenure.

Ah, the views of blacks don't count. Got it.

The truth hurts...... Blacks don't care what he says or does. He's black....that's all that matters. Some even changed their deeply held religious views on homosexuality because he "evolved".

It's nuts.

It's sad, but the OP is probably right. Here's a situation where the IRS crapped all over the 1st, 4th, 14th Amendments and article 1 section 9 of the Constitution. In essence it is a Smersh operating on our shores, yet there is no shortage of voices trying to downplay it.

Just look at what happened with the ATF 'Fast and Furious' program. A few people were allowed to retire with full pensions, taking the fall. We never got an honest explanation as to why the program was conducted the way it was. Why wouldn't it play out in similar fashion with the much more powerful IRS? I think it more than likely will.

You root for your team, and don't care if they break the law.
And since we have a narcissistic entertainer wannabee in the WH, it's become nothing but a spectator sport.

I don't presume to generalize what members of a particular group believe. Maybe you know every black person to know this.

But even if it was true, which I do not concede, their view counts just as much as the right-wing, who reject everything President Obama says or does.

Actually, you have that backwards. The fact that most people don't know what all of the fuss is about with Benghazi is a slap in the face to the GOP witch hunters. All of their cries of scandal, all of their talking heads bloviating about them non-stop, all of the hearings, and the majority of Americans have simply tuned "your side" out. Yes, I am very proud of my fellow Americans for being able to spot bogus political posturing for exactly what it is and walking away from it.

Or what the President is doing that he's doing such a good job.

Half of Americans don't even know that Joe Biden is the Vice President for pete's sake.
Really? So are Americans stupid or uninformed or intellectually lazy?
