They also saw an opening when Team Obama got lazy again after winning their second term. It just goes to show if you want to stay on top of the mountain then you had better look busy, pushing hard ahead, chasing after millions of jobs for underemployed and jobless Americans if you don't want to get knocked off the top of that presidential mountain. That might also explain why President Obama has dropped down to the 65th position in the Most Trusted List this year.
It's ALL good reminds us of the sweetness in life!

President Obama allowed a mere one setback on gun control legislation to take the wind out of his sails. Come on; get back up and charge on, Team Obama. Surely Obama and his team didn't really think gun control laws could get written on only one try? This first massive try accomplished quite a bit actually. It succeeded in blooding many a politician who put their own career survival ahead of the well being of America's children. Angry and turned-off voters have long memories and will take it out on them in the polls and the voting booth.
Meanwhile, President Obama should be bringing up gun control at every turn. The Republicans don't think twice about bringing up ObamaCare votes to rescind it for the last 36 times. Democrats should be as tenacious for real and permanent gun control. The public does not want to see new laws that can expire. It's ridiculous and cowardly. Keep attacking it from every angle, from assault weapons bans to background checks until you build a mountain of successes.
Turning to the Benghazi mess, well, everyone agrees it was handled badly. The President should be the only person deciding any talking points, without input from a thousand talking bickering heads. It's more efficient and less politically messy. After five years, this President should know what to say and how to say it - and it's time he displayed the confidence in himself to do it.
Why hasn't President Obama served up former CIA Director Petraeus' head on a platter for the mess we all know he created in Benghazi? It's amazing how he psy-opped Congress in the private hearing, none of which was ever reported to the public, only fueling suspicions. Someone like the FBI and the CIA need to research just what Petraeus and his mistress Broadwell have been doing over at CIA during his tenure, especially what involved Benghazi. President Obama has been made to look a fool by Petraeus.
We all know it's never a good idea to put a general in charge of a covert organization like the CIA because they charge on, doing whatever they feel like, choosing to inform their president after the mess blows up in their faces. Petraeus massaged Congress to cover his sorry ass, never stepping up to take the hit, instead pushing it off onto the State Department - anyone but him is his wimpy motto. What President Obama should be asking himself is, "How much of what the guy told me is true? Can it all be verified for timeline and facts? Why did he not inform me before and during, instead of after he was found out? Do I really know the whole story or did he psy-op me too?"

The Republicans are enjoying themselves, convinced that President Obama is caught in the trick bag on Benghazi. They rate this tragic mess a Class One Scandal while the public rolls their eyes, angry at Congress and the President who continue to do nothing significant about jobs programs. Instead, the political bickering drags on while the country's business is completely ignored.
While the Republicans live out their fantasy of shaming President Obama and driving him out of office - something which will never happen - their machinations only drive down their poll numbers for the 2016 election. Which brings us to the now former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton who is polling way ahead of any Republican desiring to run against her. She hasn't even announced though it sure looks like she is preparing for a presidential run. Judging by the lousy Republican opposition, she will sail into office without much effort. Can you see the laughable Sen. Paul running against her? He's the Tea Party joke of the decade.
Meanwhile, the Republican strategists like Karl Rove, desperate to get back into the good graces with the GOP Donor Elite to get paid/steal (funnelled from SuperPacs) more millions of dollars since they screwed up royally in the last election, are working over time to bloody Hillary Clinton. They are attempting to convince the gullible donors this time it will surely work. Of course, women are watching this nasty political garbage and are more determined than ever to support her.
Keep up the "good" work Republican fools. Your end result will be to rocket Hillary Clinton into office, ensure a stellar legacy for President Obama and succeed in destroying what's left of the Republican Party. Nice going, boys, you win! You win nothing - and like it! Let the Democrats commence dancing in the streets.
And President Obama? What should he do while he is under vicious attack? Change up his message team as clearly they are burned out and useless. A fifth grader would have known to get out in front of the story, give the facts, shut it down. A real crisis manager, not a fawning political hack like Axelrod, would have already had it investigated quickly and then forced resignations that were necessary.
It's time President Obama quit doing what's comfortable: hiring people like himself or people who protect his ego. He needs to hire people unlike himself who are willing to speak the whole truth and not soft sell it as it is the only way his second term will count for anything. Get on it, Mr. President, and quit dragging your feet. This isn't pretty.
