By framing any potential movement for justice as a "partisan witch hunt" he furthers a self-fulfilling prophecy. The fact is this Administration is rife with real, actual scandal. If Obama had any balls he would use this scandal to both win the election and create the conditions for accountability.
There is NO issue more important than these fundamental issues of executive branch overreach. Its not just the policy of torture and the illegal wiretaps etc. -- its a fundamental constitutional question about the power of the president and whether or not it is limited. In other words its a fundamental question about Am,erica's very identity.
But I guess Obama feels he has to upgrade infrastructure or get his half-assed health plan passed.
This country has no leadership at all.
