D.C. is Turning Against President Lucifer

Mike Allen and Jim Vandehei report for Politico, May 14, 2013, that Washington, D.C. is turning on Obama.

Here are the signs:

1. The Republicans smell blood: One-third of all committees in the GOP-majority House of Representatives are investigating one thing or another of the Obama regime. Top Republicans tell Politico the Benghazi and IRS investigations both will last at least months, and probably until the midterms of 2014 and beyond. Republicans are also working up plans to use the backdrop of government incompetence and over-reach to try to further undermine implementation of Obamacare.

2. Establishment Democrats, never big fans of Obama to begin with, are starting to speak out. One Democrat who likes Obama and has been around town for many years says Obama’s aloofness has alienated many Democrats who think him distant and unapproachable: “He has never taken the Democratic chairs up to Camp David to have a drink or to have a discussion. You gotta stroke people and talk to them. It’s like courting: You have to send flowers and candy and have surprises. It’s a constant process. Now they’re saying, ‘He never talked to me in the good times.’” Black Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-Md), a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, calls the IRS scandal “one of the most alarming things” he’s ever seen.

3. The liberal media are beginning to turn on Obama over the lies, bullying and shadiness. National Journal’s Ron Fournier, who covered the Clinton and Bush scandals and was once the AP Washington bureau chief, says: “One common thing with Benghazi and the IRS scandal, is we’re being misled every day. We were lied to on Benghazi, on the talking points behind Benghazi, for months. We were lied to by the IRS for months and now they’re sending a clear message to our sources: ‘Don’t embarrass the administration or we’re coming after you.’” Even diehard Obamabot New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd last weekend scolded the White House over Benghazi. The press, after years of being accused of being soft on Obama while being berated by West Wing aides on matters big and small, now has every incentive to be as ruthless as can be.

Whether all this means that the Dems and State Run Media will actually really desert America’s first black president remains to be seen….
