They aren't "Obama scandals" just because the right calls them "Obama scandals". Voters aren't dumb, they can see the republicans trying to link every screw-up in DC to Obama, and they know how ridiculous that is. "All politics is local", Tip O'Neill once famously said.
Voters in the congressional elections a year and half from now won't be focused on any of the supposed scandals that are in the press now. And with congresses approval rating at 15%, the last thing Republicans want to be is overconfident.
