Strangely enough, it still remains unclear whether Democrats, some of whom now appear to be distancing themselves somewhat from Barry, even yet, fully comprehend why it is that trading terrorists for a deserter, who may also be guilty of treason, and the continuing implosion of Obamacare may be problems for them. And the growing numbers of scandals has yet to impact, in any meaningful way, Barry’s ability to continue his drive to "fundamentally transform" America. And the fact that I have yet to see any significant blowback from the American people, may be why Democrats may feel things will blow over well before the election.
As Barry becomes more of what you would think would be toxic, at least to those Democrats seeking election, there are some who have, together with more friendly media outlets, stuck their necks out for him over the past six very scandal-plagued years who now at least appear to be slowly edging away. With Barry's self-inflicted Bowe Bergdahl scandal on top of the latest Obamacare debacle, vast swathes of those who managed to enroll are quite possibly ineligible, you do have to wonder. Was spokesmoron Jay Carney's sudden resignation a sign that perhaps even he knew bad news was coming down the old PR pike?
It also remains unclear what it was about the Bergdahl swap that Barry & Co. thought would actually be applauded by the American people. Because it’s pretty clear from Barry’s little Rose Garden presser that they most assuredly thought that it would be. But as things turned out it was only a few loyal Democrats and, of course, the Taliban, who reportedly slaughtered numerous goats in celebration, were applauding. I mean, it’s no secret how Barry feels about this country. So perhaps he somehow felt obligated to bring home someone who feels the same way as he does, and that was reward enough.
And, of course, it was very recently that even old Hitlery Clinton herself took it upon herself to actually commend Barry for bringing Bergdahl, the deserter, home. But then it was just yesterday, I think, that the line being pushed by those ‘news’ outlets friendly to the old girl, that Hitlery as secretary of state had actually wanted a much tougher deal, and had even promised consultation with Congress. So apparently the Democrats' presumed 2016 front-runner, already sweating because of a Benghazi scandal that just won't go away, doesn't want to also end up with what could be a Bergdahl problem as well.
And now to add a bit of insult to injury, even one of Barry’s more ardent allies in the Senate, Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, is now voicing "surprise and dismay" over the deserter Bergdahl deal. As well, some of the many Barry-friendly ‘news’ outlets like the New York Daily News are now beginning to openly turn on him, while all the New York Times could manage was a lame defense in making the claim that it remains rather "murky" whether the 2009 search for Bergdahl can be directly linked to the deaths of six soldiers. This rag will leave no excuse unused in trying to defend Barry.
We can now safely add the Bergdahl mess to what has become, for Barry, a rather impressive list of scandals that already had some Democrats distancing themselves from him ahead of the fall's midterm election, in which they fear losing control of the Senate. Obamacare topped that list even before news emerged yesterday that as many as 2 million enrollments are suspect. But there are so many others. The Veterans Administration, the IRS targeting of conservatives, the Fast and Furious guns-for-drug-gangs program, NSA spying, and the many, many foreign policy failures, from Libya, to Egypt, to Syria and the Ukraine.
It’s hard to say with any degree of certainty, if Americans may finally be hitting scandal fatigue. But the standoffish body language of top Democrats is a clear sign that they think they might be. America's liberal elite may not fully understand why any of those things are problems for voters. Obviously we’re nowhere near the number of scandals needed to cause blacks to turn their backs on their beloved Barry. And I’m not sure if there is anything he could do to cause that to happen. After all, it’s not like he can turn himself white. Short of that happening I really don’t think there’s much Barry could ever do to lose the support of blacks.
