Then again, Dan Pfeiffer is a fool.

Via Red Alert Politics:

According to a senior Obama advisor, the abundance of improprieties that have plagued Washington recently — and may have contributed to a drop in Obama’s approval rating — need not be taken seriously.

Dan Pfeiffer, Senior Advisor to the President for Strategy and Communications, indulged in the blame game on Sunday evening when he delivered his latest email to White House supporters. Pfeiffer wrote that the lack of discussion about middle-class Americans can be attributed to Congress “trying to score political points, refight old battles, and trump up phony scandals.”

Yes, Pfeiffer seemingly branded the brutal murder of four American diplomats in Benghazi, the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservatives, the uncovering of an invasive NSA program and subpoenaing of journalists’ phone records as “phony.”

“The President thinks Washington has largely taken its eye off the ball on the most important issue facing the country,” Pfeiffer wrote in the email.

While Pfeiffer believes struggling middle-class Americans have gone unnoticed because of Congress’ investigation into the scandals, he fails to acknowledge an absence of discussion on the topic by the President himself.
