It has been noted that not one Obama scandal was "broken" by mainstream media. The internet and conservative talk radio/television reported the stories first. And my hunch is that the administration will "win" simply because the mainstream media will fail to report it -- just as the Afghanistan war has become the forgotten war. June 6, 2013.
The "S" in scandal is starting to look like the "S" in sleaze, especially with the news of May 30, 2013.
Some famous quotes. We've come a long way:
- I cannot tell a lie. I chopped down that cherry tree.
- I am not a crook.
- I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
- I'm the decider.
- I am not Dick Cheney.
The Obama Scandal Bucket
Swamped in controversies, President Obama and his slow-footed team are essentially telling the American public, “We’re not crooked. We’re just incompetent.”The IRS targeting conservatives, the Justice Department snooping at The Associated Press, the State Department injecting politics into Benghazi, the military covering up sexual assaults, and the Department of Veterans Affairs leaving heroes in health care limbo – each of these so-called scandals share two traits.
1. Lying. 2. Disconnected from the American public.Actually: the administration is both crooked and incompetent.

Targeted Fox News reporter. Turns out Holder authorized the snooping. President Obama furious: has directed that Holder investigate Holder. -- May 23, 2013

Obama's counsel was told of IRS weeks ago. -- WSJ.
Big government loses control. -- WSJ, op-ed.
Former IRScandal commissioner: "I know nothing."
The stonewalling begins: a top IRScandal official "takes the fifth amendment."
The internal investigation was completed 6 months before the election. Everybody knew.
Lois "learn as I go along" Lerner takes the fifth amendment, "because I didn't do anything wrong."
Special prosecutor: inevitable. Lois "learn as I go along" Lerner replaced one day later; heads starting to roll; thrown under the bus.
Washington launches four separate investigations into the IRS. None will result in anything, but nice political theater.
