AP: Secret Service scandal/US Soldiers posing with bloody corpses--OBAMA'S FAULT

[WI_DEM]

(SO these are the reasons for Mitt's recent rise in some polls?)

WASHINGTON — It isn’t Mitt Romney who’s giving Barack Obama fits as the president moves into re-election mode. It’s those federal bureaucrats carousing in Las Vegas, the Secret Service consorting with Colombian prostitutes and U.S. soldiers posing with bloody enemy corpses.

The scandals are taking a toll. They are distracting embarrassments that are dominating public attention while Obama seeks to focus on difficulties abroad and jobs at home. And they are giving Republicans an opportunity to question his competence and leadership, an opening for Romney in a race so close that any advantage might make a difference.

Even if the Democratic president escapes being defined by these flare-ups, they still feed a story line that can erode public confidence in Washington institutions, fuel a perception of federal excess and frustrate Obama’s argument that government can be a force for good.

You can look forward to a return to arrogance with President Mitt.
