Thursday, May 30, 2013 – Daily News Controversies add to Obama's 2nd term frustrations WASHINGTON (AP) — For President Barack Obama, the opening months of his second term have been a frustrating reminder of the limits of presidential power and the durability of the Washington political apparatus he disdains. Obama has yet to achieve a significant second term legislative victory, a task that will only get harder as the calendar inches closer to next year's midterm elections. A trio of controversies roiling Washington have emboldened Republicans eager to gain an advantage over the president and revealed a Democratic establishment willing to publicly secondguess the White House. And Obama, who ran for office as an outsider pledging to overcome Washington's bitter partisan divide, acknowledges he's made little progress on that front. ''What's blocking us right now is the sort of hyper-partisanship in Washington that, frankly, I was hoping to overcome in 2008,'' Obama told donors at a Democratic fundraiser last week. Obama's frustration with the ways of Washington has become increasingly evident as the White House grapples with separate controversies: a resurgent GOP investigation into the attacks on Americans in Benghazi, Libya, the targeting of conservative political groups by the Internal Revenue Service and the Justice Department's seizure of phone records from journalists at The Associated Press and, in another case, reading the emails of Fox News reporter James Rosen. The typically even-keeled Obama became visibly angry recently when discussing the Benghazi investigations, casting the Republican effort as a ''sideshow'' and a ''political circus.'' White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer took to Sunday talk shows to accuse Republicans of trying to drag Washington into ''a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions.'' And White House press secretary Jay Carney mockingly suggested a reporter was being ''petulant'' while pressing for details about when the president's team knew about the IRS targeting, though Carney later acknowledged that some criticism of the White House's response to the matter were ''legitimate.'' Driving at least part of the White House's response to the controversies is its wellknown contempt for ''establishment'' Washington, including the cadre of political strategists in both parties LEGAL NOTICE TRUSTEE'S SALE AP photo Attorney General Eric Holder glances back at invited guests while leaving after speaking during the Office of Inspector Generals annual awards ceremony, Wednesday at the Justice Department in Washington. that are quick to offer up Republicans to sign on to a analysis or a provocative ''grand bargain'' for reducing quote and a fast-moving the deficit despite polls showmedia culture that can quickly ing the public backs plans turn a problem into a scandal. similar to the president's, ''It's clear to him and which would include both tax everyone at the White House increases and spending cuts. the difference between a legitRepublican strategist Kevin imate issue and something Madden said it does Obama that's ginned up for political little good if all he does is win purposes,'' said former fights ''over who is going to Obama aide Ben LaBolt, not- come out of one of these skiring the White House's partic- mishes with a higher approval ular displeasure for those rating.''
