It was a simple observation and nothing more. Every time a large scandal lands on Obama, something just as big occurs and its buried.

Anyone else notice that whenever a scandal is about to overtake Obama, something big occurs that pushes it to the back of the line??
This expression probably originated in the USA. There isn't a specific incident that it refers to that can be located there but there are many instances of it in print in US publications from the 1870s onwards, whereas there are none that come from any other country until well into the 20th century.
The earliest citation that I can find is from The Daily Republican, April 1872:
"Calling to mind Lord Dundreary's conundrum, the Baltimore American thinks that for the Cincinnati Convention to control the Democratic party would be the tail wagging the dog." [Source]

Which is it, a gun grab campaign or Obama diverting attention? It's so hard to keep the crazy conspiracy theories straight these days. Oh wait, I forgot, this was so we wouldn't watch Putin's speech. How silly of me.
Couldn't POSSIBLY be that a mentally damaged kid had girlfriend problems, hinted at "something big" for months, and finally made good on his threats.
OH, I almost forgot, he's also an MKULTRA victim. Poor kid, a pawn for SO many conspiracies!
