If by "winning the hearts and minds of the American people" you mean buying them off with deficit spending and other people's confiscated money, I agree.
FTR, one doesn't have to be on welfare to receive more from government than they contribute.
In so far as the person taking the fifth is notthe head of the IRS, but merely a division head, I'd say this is a perfect illustration of the sort of conflation that continues to occur.
Everything is the worst-est, most horrible-est thing.
Problem is, everything can't be the penultimate thing. Not every. single. time.
Good post except that "penultimate" means "next to last."
The reason Obama remains popular with the majority of Americans, while Republicans collectively as less popular than a turd in the punch bowl, is because he actually wants to deal with the nation's problems while Republicans just want to create more problems for the country without ever actually doing their job and solving any of the existing problems. The more time they waste with non-existent "scandals" the lower their poll numbers go; right now they're literally at record low polling numbers and still falling.
We can't even get Republicans to negotiate on the budget despite their crocodile tears about how they wanted to be part of the process. Personally, I'd just pass another continuing resolution because it's obvious Republicans are not acting in good faith nor will they ever.
