Why has the Obama administration fallen on such hard times as of late? I think the short and simple answer is arrogance. He has believed, and for good reason, that the media outlets other than Fox and Newsmaxx will support him and all his endeavors, no matter how many rights or people he steps on. As long as he left them alone that is. Which is exactly what he didn't do. He apparently didn't know how strongly the press feels about their freedoms, and when you attack any outlet, even Fox, they will circle the wagons quicker than John Wayne fighting apaches.
Obama and his crew have been caught targeting right wing groups with the IRS, and now Holder started spying on a Fox reporter because he supposedly was leaking national security info, which of course turned out to be false. But because it was FOX, he figured the other new agencies would jump on board and proclaim that Fox was working with terrorists or something else sinister. He figured wrong, because instead, every news outlet is ready to burn Obama at the stake. News agencies see themselves as a brotherhood and will stick together no matter what, even if it is an annoying big brother that you can't stand to be around. Obama and Holder never dreamed that MSNBC, Huffington Post, CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC would call him, and I quote, "The worst president we have ever had."
You see, if he had left FOX alone, he could have gotten away with just about anything, but now every little thing he does will be scrutinized for as long as he is in office. You think it won't last that long? A very popular Reagan was beat up in his second term for Iran Contra, and Clinton was hammered in his second term for Lewinskigate, and the press never let up. This is much worse in their eyes, and Obama's arrogance will not be forgiven, and the price could possibly be the senate next year as well as the White House in 2016, when it will start all over again. Common Sense does not run rampant in Washington D.C.
