Cracks in the dike

There appear to be large cracks appearing in the Obama "dike" as of lately.

Benghazi 

     ABC reports that the talking-points were dramatically edited 12 times and took out all mention of Al-Qaeda  or terrorism and put in information about the video.   Testimony from the hearings show that help was requested but was denied by the State-Department and that calling it a organic unorganized attack perpetrated by a video did have ramifications because it made it difficult to get FBI help to investigate the crime scene for over 3 weeks.   The hearings also showed that the WH requested lawyers present when Congressional members came to investigate which made it difficult to answer questions freely and that people who cooperated were demoted.  Now rather than admit their mistake they are doubling down saying that the story is only being used by Republicans to hurt Hillary Clinton.

IRS targeting Tea Party and conservative groups

     IRS admitted to using key words in forms to determine whether the group would have additional checks put on them before being granted the tax-exempt status.  These groups were hounded for private information such as donor lists, political connections, family members names and even social-media data such as Facebook contacts.  They tried to say its only low-level IRS agents involved but given that this treatment was widespread from California to Georgia, the level of corruption is undoubtedly at a much higher level.  Even those on the left at MSNBC have come after the President as saying this is unprecedented and that the IRS must be kept politically neutral in areas like this.

Associated Press (AP) phone records obtained secretly by Department of Justice

     This has Nixon-Watergate written all over it.  The AP is upset that their phone records were obtained by the DOJ from April to May of 2012 of 20 separate lines.  Who they were targeting is unclear at this time.  The AP's president, Gary Pruitt said,

"There can be no possible justification for such an over broad collection of the telephone communications of The Associated Press and its reporters. These records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the news gathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP's news gathering operations and disclose information about AP's activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know,"

This might just be Obama's undoing as the press has largely given him a pass on everything up until now.  If they feel that they too are targets of the WH, they might not cover him so nicely in the future.
