Buzzfeed's Ben Smith critiques the White House evesdropping on AP phones; and includes a photo of Obama morphing into Nixon.
The House GOP radical Darrell Issa appeared on CBS Morning News; and immediately after the lead-in of Obama dismissing the Benghazi attack investigation as one of there is no there there, Issa smiled and declared the POTUS is spinning.
The right-wing onslaught is increasing in intensity.
The morphing of Obama into Nixon; the claim that these scrapes are Nixonian in their import, are laying the groundwork for a move by the House GOP to impeach Obama.
But the hidden , deep politics behind this is operating above the Issa level.
The power elite in the US are moving to render Obama politically impotent; to make the progressive rhetoric Obama outlined in his inaugural and SOTU addresses mute.
Many of us lived through the Nixon years.
And Obama is no Nixon.
Nixon had a fertile active mind; but he was a very flawed person...a bitter partisan, paranoid in the dark, overpowering dark centers of his brain; and he really was a crook.
We are heading toward a very difficult crisis , more severe than mere deadlock in DC .
For many reasons, Obama seems to locked in epic struggle with the most powerful forces in our country.
