Yesterday I wrote about five issues the Obama Administration owns and will have to defend during the mid-term elections of 2014 and the Presidential election of 2016. You can read it HERE.

Now there are six issues. It’s very hard for a Presidential Administration to juggle six issues.

The Associated Press (AP) reported yesterday “The Justice Department [DOJ] secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press.” The AP claims the records obtained listed outgoing calls from their offices in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn.

The fourth estate was just slapped across the face, and it probably hurt a little more since it came from the Obama Administration.

According to NBC News, the DOJ used a “secret subpoena” to obtain the phone records. Some folks believe it was done over the leaking of classified information. The “leaking of classified information” is an all-encompassing reason that our government seems to use when they do things that might be considered shady.

The AP sent a letter of protest to Attorney General Eric Holder and asked that the records of the phone calls be returned and copies destroyed. Luckily for Holder, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) targeting conservative groups and the Benghazi terror attack are sharing some of the space with the AP phone record story, although Obama owns them all.

Historically, many conservatives believe that about all of the reporting done in D.C. (minus Fox News) leans toward the liberal side and that the liberal media and the Obama administration are working hand in hand to stick it to the man. Well, for at least once in history, we have found an exception.

It is kind of nice to see the liberals and conservatives united in their disgust with the Obama Administration over the IRS and AP issues. It’s almost like the sun is shining a little more brightly across the fruited plains today!

Now about that Benghazi issue…
