Obama Scandals Predictable
Former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin says the rash of scandals surrounding the Obama presidency is entirely predictable because Obama has never been subjected to close media scrutiny. Even the president’s Republican opponents have avoided directly confronting him for fear of incurring the wrath of his adoring media followers.
Palin reveals that in her 2008 vice presidential run, she was forbidden from talking about Obama’s relationships with both Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers, as well as his job experience. “I was not allowed to talk about things like that because those ‘elitists,’ those who are the brainiacs in the GOP machine, running John McCain’s campaign at the time said that the media would eat us alive if we brought up these things.” “What that got us, this kind of complacency and self-censoring of a campaign where we weren’t allowed to tell the truth about who this candidate was — Barack Obama — what it got us was a list of these scandals,” Palin charged.

When news broke of the IRS targeting conservative and Tea Party groups, Obama Administration officials dismissed the transgression as an isolated incident involving a few misguided, rogue employees in the agency’s Cincinnati offices. Next we learned that the scandal extended to IRS headquarters in Washington, D.C. Now, we’re told that an Obama crony at the highest levels of the IRS bureaucracy orchestrated the hit campaign. Wonder where this trail of stench will lead next?

Holder on the Hot Seat
As far as Bernie Goldberg is concerned, the White House has always had it out for Fox News, so it’s not that hard to imagine that as the reason why the Department of Justice targeted Fox reporter James Rosen in a scandal that’s now put Attorney General Eric Holder on the hot seat. Goldberg first took the media to task for not being on top of the big Washington scandals, and then argued that one underplayed fact of the Rosen case is that the Obama White House has “waged a war on Fox News” for the past four years, and said it’s “not a tremendous leap” to imagine that this is why Rosen was targeted as opposed to, say, Brian Williams.

Scandals or Fantasies
Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville and Fox News pundit Bill O’Reilly clash over the scandals plaguing the Obama administration, including a new revelation that the State Department allegedly covered up prostitution and drug use. Carville told O’Reilly that a lot of what people are calling scandals are not scandals, just failures and bad policies. When O’Reilly further grilled him, Carville dismissed the rampant scandal fever as coming from “people with fantasies that are trying to get them to play out.”
