When Did Obama Decide That The Scandals He Once Thought Were Serious Are Now ‘Phony’?
by Noah Rothman | 1:34 pm, July 25th, 2013

On Wednesday, President Barack Obama set the tone for the debate surrounding the many controversies that have plagued his administration since the spring. The president called those scandals “phony” and denigrated those who find any worth in their investigation. But, as one prominent conservative opinion writer noted yesterday, it was not long ago that the White House was acknowledging the seriousness of the scandals he now derides as contrived.

“With an endless parade of distractions, political posturing and phony scandals, Washington has taken its eye off the ball,” Obama said during a marathon speech in Illinois.

During a panel segment on Fox News Channel’s Special Report, The Weekly Standard editor Stephen F. Hayes asked a pointed question about these so-called “phony scandals”: “Which of the scandals is phony?”

“The president has already acknowledged the seriousness of two of them – three of them, in one way or another,” Hayes added.

“This is part of the plan to set up an argument for the fall,” he said, identifying how Democrats will counter Republican charges of malfeasance by administration officials ahead of the 2014 midterms. In essence, Hayes implied, Obama and his supporters will accuse the opponents of his administration of a pathological desire to cling to already discredited conspiracy theories.
�The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves.� G Washington July 2, 1776

He hopes by just saying that, that they will go away, or maybe  the voters will think they are not as important as they are.  He doesn't have the guts to face up to any wrong-doing or mistakes.

It's a very solid plan. Obama can say almost anything, the media will report it as fact, and the stupid public will follow believe the media narrative.

We're getting the change, but hope is gone.

A lot of blood has been shed in these phony scandals. A few hundred dead bodies in Mexico, 30 or dead soldiers in a helicopter crash, dead embassy employees ... hey, they're starting to add up!
