House Democrats left Washington on Friday insisting they're not worried about political fallout after one of the most difficult weeks the Obama administration has endured.

Democrats know their fate in the 2014 elections hinges to a large degree on Obama's popularity, and they say the president has responded appropriately to a trio of controversies involving the IRS, the Justice Department and the terrorist attack last year in Benghazi, Libya.

"The president's done a good job of stabilizing the situation, working to try and get ahead of the curve so that we can focus on jobs and the economy," Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said Friday. "When it comes right down to it, those are the issues of the most concern to people."
------
"Sometimes our leadership isn't focused where it needs to be focused," Obama said, referring to the string of controversies without mentioning them. "We've been able to clear away the rubble of the crisis … but our work is not done. Our focus cannot drift."

With Republicans vowing the investigations have only begun, however, that's likely a message of wishful thinking.

The arrogant attitude of this pResident astounds me! The issues that concern most people are the corrupt leaders we have in several federal institutions along with the pResident that wants to "move on and change the subject."
Now, his strategy will be to put the republicans on the defensive when they try to get some real answers.

I noticed on Friday, almost at the end of IRS hearing, only Republicans were present to engage the Commissioner and IG guy ......

what happened to the Democrats and their 5 minutes ??


Not sure, if that was a positive or negative indication of how the hearing went ??

There will be a lot of this spin to "move on" and "it's being dealt with, time to get back to governing for the people!" BS over the next week.
