Benghazi, IRS Create Perfect Storm Threatening Obama's Credibility

What does it mean when a president's people can't get their stories straight? - Ron Fournier/National Journal

It’s far too early in this perfect storm of controversy to condemn Obama to Bush’s fate, but he and his advisers face a credibility crisis. A news conference at the White House later today gives Obama a chance to convince Americans that he is still worthy of their trust.

To do so, he may need to do more than to promise to bolster embassy security and to shut down the IRS targeting operation. He may need to forcefully condemn the half-truths and distortions disseminated under his name.

He may need to fire people who can’t get his story straight.

The campaign that never ends... - Daniel Halper/Weekly Standard

President Barack Obama will start the week by attending 3 Democratic fundraisers in New York City, according to the White House.
