These scandals hurt Obama yes...but they are going to hurt the Republicans even more in the long run. Once again they are narrowing their base. They are going so partisan that their response to the scandal seems worse than whatever supposedly happened.
Issa is an excellent example of exactly the wrong person to be given the chairman of the Oversight committee. No one will ever take him seriously, even if he was ever right on an issue. You need someone with integrity running these Congressional committees. With people lilke Issa and the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee making Tea Party commercials in their opening statements Obama may be dragged through the mud, but he won't be hurt in the long run. The GOP will. I remember Watergate....everyone was sad and angry at Nixon, not just the Democrats.
