Americans have very short term memories. The AP thing will be forgotten very quickly, since most Americans couldn't care less about the Associated Press. Same goes for the IRS thing. Americans will probably get sick of the Benghazi issue, since most of the information just keeps being repeated, and the hearings are pointless.

It'll be forgotten until the end of his term when everyone reviews how much they hated/loved it.

I doubt people would even remember it. There are a lot of "scandals" during almost every administration. The little things mean nothing in the long run, only the big issues have any impact (Vietnam war, Watergate, Great Depression, etc..).

Well the only problem is the American public may not be allowed to forget it.  

I think the sequester lie started the concern( Woodward called out Obama) but the younger press guys let it slide.  Benghazi was seen as partisan but it did make the younger press members tilt their heads a little and say " hey I was used".  The IRS thing has them all saying "shit, you guys actually do over reach and abuse power" but the straw that breaks the camels back is definitely the ap one, now they are all saying " not only did you use me now you are going after my phone records." As John Stewart said "mother f'ers".  

 

The public may get tired of it but the press won't.
