But the reality is that even if he did not do them, he is still responsible for their actions. Nixon did not break into the Watergate Hotel, but he was still responsible for what followed.
Obama may not have actually sat there and physically took part in the IRS targeting of Conservative Groups. But he definately benefited. Firstly he made fun of those very Same Conservatives groups claims that they were being targeted during his 2012 campaign speeches. Something that hurt Romney's chances in the 2012 election. Keep in mind Romney himself tried to stand up for those conservative groups being targeted and instead Obama again attacked Romney for those claims, making Romney look a bit paranoid.
Meaning Obama benefited during the 2012 election due to the IRS scandal.
Then secondly the Justice Department under the direction of Eric Holder went after both the AP and Fox News, basically trying to shut down the first Amendment rights of the US Media.
Again shutting down Media Scrutiny helps only OBAMA and no one else including Eric Holder.
The poll via CNN and ORC International reveals that 53% of Americans approve of Obama’s job performance; 45% disapprove. The poll was taken May 17 and 18 with a 3% margin of error.
Before the trio of scandals, an early April CNN poll had Obama’s approval rating at 51%; an early May Gallup poll had his approval rating at 50%.
The poll also determined that while 71%
of Americans said the IRS actions against conservatives are
inappropriate, 6 in 10 respondents said they trusted Obama’s
explanations about it.
