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