(26,549 posts)21. What you don't see:
Congress: 13% approval rating
Obama: 50% approval rating
It's time to go on the offensive, not repeat the mistakes of the Clinton administration.
Tell me how John the undecided voter will see through this.
"Instead of passing my American Jobs Act of super-awesomeness that will massively help the economy, Congress is conducting a witch hunt. Don't you hate those guys?".
I see it being in the Appeals court level, looking to wards the Supreme Court about October or so. I see the American people informed of this step by step in the papers and on the nightly news. I see Lawyers for the Republicans maintaining that the Nixon precedent clearly shows that this is a violation of the Executive Privilege principle.
Make sure you never, ever represent yourself in court. Your grasp of law is....poor. You also have a terrible idea of what court scheduling is like. This won't hit an appeals court before November, much less the SCOTUS.

The media will continue in their frenzy until the election. This hurts Obama a lot.

It may not require admitting a mistake...but at least admitting F&F was high risk
