The difference is that Reagan’s scandals were actual scandals, and the surprise was that they wouldn’t stick to him, even after close acquaintances went to jail. With Obama, the scandals aren’t even really scandals, no close associates are even implicated, and Ryan and Krauthammer have to whine that there MUST be evidence, if only we could find it! They’ve cried wolf so many times, this time the president’s poll numbers actually went up. The GOP simply is not equipped to govern, cannot even pass simple bills, and fake scandals is all they can find to fill their time and distract from their total incompetence.
You can see the Republicans drooling. “I just know there’s a scandal, we just have to keep looking, who cares if there’s no evidence, there must be, keep looking, come on, let’s get Ken Starr back, let’s have an investigation, there must be something, there must be something…..”
It’s so entertaining to watch you all keep getting a chubby and losing it. (wingnut porn) I’m sure there’s a political version of Viagra that can be prescribed. Calling Dr. Rove.
That is so disrespectful to to the office of the President it borders on Anti-Americanism..Conflating the man with the office is a trait of the politically ignorant. Poor old Rush is so addled by the Oxy he lost track of the reality of democracy. I guess you don’t understand it either.
Night-Gaunt49: You might as well call yourself that because the corporate media will if you are not in one of their two parties. I am a Green and we may not be mentioned at all. Bernie Sanders was a Socialist when mayor of Burlington, but now that he is in the Senate, he gets an I after his name, not an S. After all, correct identity may educate people on what socialism really is, like covering Greens might enlighten them on the Populist tradition.
The true meaning of socialism is based on society. It means the society working together to get things done that 1 or 2 can’t do alone. In it’s true state it is a very good thing.Facism is Authoritarianism, extreme right wing, xenophobic, jingoistic, nationalistic, totalitarian, autocratic,racist, dictatorial, neo-Nazi, despotic, un-democratic.the opposite is liberal, democratic. Hold a mirror up to the Christian Dominionists ,those who believe in they have a right to make a State Church.

Even Watergate wasn’t “Watergate” with Nixon this far in. Give it time.

Reagan had some serious scandals. Most of Obama’s headaches are artificially inflated by the GOP and their ilk.

I’m glad the GOP is busy with fake scandals. It keeps them from doing other stupid things.

They have to take a break every now and then to repeal “Obamacare” again.

To make this more realistic, you should show the news media digging up the graves to let Obama out.
