REPUBLICANS QUESTION WHETHER OBAMA COULD HANDLE ACTUAL SCANDAL



WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—President Obama’s handling of controversies about the I.R.S., the Justice Department, and Benghazi has raised “grave doubts” about his ability to cope if he ever became involved in an actual scandal, prominent Republicans said today.

“If this is how he handles this stuff, Lord have mercy on him if he ever has to deal with a real scandal,” said newly elected Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S. Carolina). “Quite frankly, I don’t think he has what it takes.”

“The true test of a leader is this,” Rep. Sanford added. “When he gets in a fix, does he have the presence of mind to lie about his whereabouts? Sadly, I don’t think President Obama passes that test.”

Mr. Sanford’s concerns mirror those of another leading Republican lawmaker, Sen. David Vitter (R-Louisiana).

“If President Obama honestly thinks he’s dealing with scandals right now, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know what a scandal is,” Sen. Vitter said. “And that’s very worrisome.”

“When you get that three A.M. phone call, and it’s a reporter claiming that a prostitute said you like to dress up in a diaper, are you prepared for that call?” Sen. Vitter said. “In the case of President Obama, I am afraid that the answer is no.”

Obama may not be expecting a scandal,
but it seems the Republicans are.

Probably experience.

If you're a dem you love the lowest of the low.

You were never taught right from wrong'

You're only political.

Anything goes.

BUT let someone else do something, they act like spoiled brats.

Now it's their turn and they lie cheat, ignore and overlook anything that points the finger at them.

Just look at the trillions we've spent on cities, same slums since the civil war and who has run them and where did the money go?

Now that's a PROGRESSIVE for you.

I think you got this all backwards. The Dems are MUCH better at managing AND GETTING AWAY with scandalous conduct. The IRS 'bomb' was time triggered by the Dems to sidetrack the momentum that Benghazi was building up, and has been deemed survivable. (Where Benghazi may have been considered a potential show stopper.) And just like good lemmings, the herd changes course and everyone is upset about the already known IRS scandal. Obummer is being sheltered and a couple of old and crabby battle-axes are taking the heat after acting super obnoxious, just like one would expect it from a good liberal.
...and the show goes on, with the dunce republicans slack-jawed, - or maybe in cahoots, - who knows. Politics is a big fat whore! And we the sheeple voted all these leaches into their positions. We get the politicians we deserve!

If these subjects get too hot for the politician to handle, someone will undoubtedly bring up the subject of gay terrorist abortions contributing to global warming, and Americans will stampede down that road too.

SIGH
