Will be able to keep attention on the scandals. They are getting shot to hell and back.

Benghazi? The emails were released and surprise surprise, the leaked emails that the Republicans released? They were edited. Heavily. The only reason this has yet to backfire on Republicans is because of the media attention on other scandals.

The AP scandal? Not really one. The records were subpoenaed , in accordance to the law. In relation to a investigation about leaked classified information. Oh yeah, and Republicans were the ones who shot down a law that would have prevented the DoJ from getting these records as easily as they did. While it does reflect badly, it was all - in accordance to the laws - legal, and those who are raising the most hell about it were the ones who made it possible to occur.

The IRS scandal? This one will go on for a while, but most people are ignoring one thing about it. Obama didn't appoint the people in charge of the IRS. Both the director during the time the events occured, and the acting director who took over when the first stepped down back in 2012, were appointed by Republicans.

Still... Most people ignore these things. Logic and truth, kinda hard for people - Mostly Republicans and their supporters - to understand.

That said, Obama needs to grow a pair of balls already and make some Republican heads roll over this shit. He's apologizing for things that he had no part in. All he's doing is digging himself a grave, hoping that no one decides to push him in it.
