Republicans desperately want a "Scandal" and or Obstruction

The Republicans could not defeat the President at the ballot box, despite their best efforts.

Now they will turn to "investigations" to dig up or create something that can be tied to the President in order to hamstring his term much as they tried to do with Clinton.

I doubt such tactics will work but the President must face down these bullies.

Sadly his first term he did not have his own party solidly behind him to face down such attacks.

Such is not the case now, even those Democrats who wanted Hillary to win, finally figured out their future depends on the success of Obama's second term.

I hope Obama stands up to the GOP much the way Clinton did with the Government shutdown.
