Analysis: Some Republicans see new scandal in Sebelius fundraising

There is much for Obama now.

Quote:
(Reuters) - With the White House already reeling from three major controversies, some Republican lawmakers are zeroing in on what they perceive is another possible scandal tied to President Barack Obama's landmark health reform law just as it nears implementation.

Anything to get (R) Christie into office.

Oh wait he praised Obama on his handling of Sandy, and was kicked out the good old republicans club.

Hence him not being invited to the CPAC, while Palin and Bachman were...

Yeah ok, republicans, I love how you cats crap on your own harder than the others, just because they follow reason, and not blind ideaology.


Christie 2016, the last real moderate republican you will find. Save our country.

Chris owes me money, all the shilling I willingly do for him.

I just have to say, before Obama decided to go after the second amendment, i really didn't care about him one way or another. Now that he has shown himself to be capable of going back on his word, speaks with the proverbial forked tongue, a grand stander, a bully, and every other negative connotation too long to list, I hope for nothing but bad things for him now. May he fail at everything, be embroiled in continual controversy, and be bankrupt of any political capital.

I also feel there are a large number of democratic senators that need to lose their jobs next election. Not because I'm jumping on a republican partisan bandwagon, but because I find I hold nothing but contempt for anyone who would willingly violate or even think about violating, their oaths to the constitution.

Actually I think your boy will leverage bucking his own party into votes if he ever runs.

He's a lame duck now anyways. His own spokesmen are claiming he has no control over his own administration. His only chance is a full house cleaning but the Dems aren't going to let him do it even if he wanted to.

There is no shortage of oath violators on the other side of the aisle but at least when it comes to gun control the 2014 elections will be what determines if the attacks on the 2A will cease or continue. If the Dems take a big hit Bill Clinton is going to be seen as a prophet.

The republicans want Obama fail so badly they would use anything to make him at least look like a lame duck.
I would not concentrate on one accusation, there are just too much.

That's how American presidential politics works. Were not the Democrats just as eager to see Bush 2 fail, and Republicans eager to see Clinton fail and Dems eager to see Bush I fail and so on?

Obama is a lame duck without doubt. There is a great deal of Democrat sailing down a river in Egypt at the moment but it won't last because the next Democratic presidential candidate will already have to start distancing him/herself from Obamas failings in order to appeal to voters in 2016.

Might you be exaggerating because there's been a lot of bad news for the President in the last 10 days or so?

Maybe I am, maybe he'll buck the fate of all his predecessors but only time will tell for sure.
