(10,751 posts)...well, not really, it's a pretty lame attempt at getting the last word.
Anyway. You might wish this "Obama 'scandal'" will go away, but I'm thinking not.
Also, I don't see it as an "Obama scandal". I see it as a "government scandal". It didn't start with Obama, and I perfectly well understand that he, like other Presidents before him, will often buy in to the programs in place when he takes office. I don't hate him for it and I don't revile him for it -- but the fact is, we're on his watch now so yes, when the administration is criticized for something, well at present that will be Obama's administration taking the heat. Just as it was Bush's administration before that, and Clinton's before that (and for the record, I have been critical of all of them at different times).
