OBAMA Dismisses SCANDALS as PHONY
[link to thehill.com]



President Obama on Wednesday dismissed a series of controversies dogging his administration as “phony” in remarks that represented a clear shift in White House tactics.

“With an endless parade of distractions, political posturing and phony scandals, Washington has taken its eye off the ball,” Obama said in an economic address at Knox College in Galesburg, Ill.

Obama’s comments marked an inflection point in the way the administration has been dealing with a raft of controversies, many of which the White House has previously suggested were substantive.

Obama on Wednesday did not specify which controversies were “phony,” but the administration has been attacked over National Security Agency surveillance programs leaked to the public, the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, the Department of Justice’s seizing of media phone records, and last year’s attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya.

While the White House has repeatedly accused Republicans of seeking to gin up a controversy surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack in Benghazi, it had not described the other issues previously as phony.

The president in Galesburg said the GOP’s focus on scandals “needs to stop.”

“Short-term thinking and stale debates are not what this moment requires,” he said.

White House press secretary Jay Carney telegraphed Obama’s remarks on Tuesday, referring to scandals as “phony” in his press briefing.

Carney also had a heated exchange with MSNBC host Joe Scarborough on Wednesday morning, when he described the IRS controversy as a “phony scandal.”

Scarborough argued the scandal was not phony and noted that some reports said the IRS’s chief counsel office had been notified that agency employees in Cincinnati had been improperly targeted.

Carney then said investigations needed “to get to the bottom of what happened at the IRS.”

Democrats have argued there is evidence the IRS also targeted liberal groups, suggesting it did not single out conservative organizations for extra scrutiny.

The speech at Knox College in Galesburg was intended to bolster sagging public support for Obama, who has seen his approval rating drop as he has dealt with the controversies.

A Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey released Tuesday found the president with a 45 percent approval rating, while half the country said it disapproved of his handling of the job. It’s the lowest rating for the president since November 2011.

Wednesday’s address was intended to change the public conversation to the economy and jobs, an issue where the White House sees an advantage.

Obama declared the nation had “fought its way back” from the depths of the recession in a speech clearly targ

You have to catch this guy doing something wrong, before he'll do something right.

He's been caught red handed, but now he says he'll do something about college costs. We'll see, but if he does, it will be something he does right. If not, it will be another over-promise, and since nobody makes him over-promise, that means another lie.

The only thing that's phony is the 0blama recovery, and the 0bama economy. It will all carsh in Sept 2015 spectacularly and there will be no denying it is 0blamas fault. Of course, he will try to blame Bernanke and the media will look stupid trying to help him. Complete economic collapse wiping out all the baby boomers retirement will wake them up.

One word.. taqiyya
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
I Corinthians 2:14

God doesn't choose favorites.. They choose HIM

It is not the greatness of my faith that moves mountains but my faith in the greatness of God

Re: OBAMA Dismisses SCANDALS as PHONY
If the scandals were so "phony" why does he say "we have to get to the bottom of them?"

The thing that makes me so angry is that he and Hillary were at the airport to meet the victims at Benghazi and then both of them stood over their caskets and lie right to our faces...

I am sick to death of this jackass...

I am convinced that Obama goes out of his way to appoint incompetent people to his cabinet so he looks good by comparison.

Obama is more than an octoroon. He's a mulatto and probably over 50% African.
