Benghazi was a tragic occurrence that the President's opponents are exploiting for political gain. To say there was some sort of cover up solely to hurt Obama does a disservice to the men who died there.
The IRS scandal is based on untruths - again, spouted by the President's opponents. Left wing groups had also been investigated as much as the tea party had been. None of these Republican critics ever said a word when the IRS under Bush had singled out left wing anti-war groups. And what is the tea party doing, trying to claim non-political tax exempt status anyhow?!?!?!
Now, there is definitely some fire behind the smoke when it comes to the NSA scandal. But again, where were these same Republicans when such programs were originally enacted under Bush?

Our Elected King and His Minons can do not wrong. How about his lie about keeping your prior medical insurance?

"I had no idea what my subordinates were doing" only works if you have a (D) after your name ....

Reagan got away with Iran-Contra with that excuse, and hardly a Democrat, Republicans are still awaiting his second coming.

There's a big difference between an all out lie, and for the unexpected happening.

Unexpected happenings??? You actually prove his point.

Democrats always seem to be judged on their intentions rather than their results, and the complicit US media is at least partially culpable.

Lately it's become convenient for Obama to pretend he’s been a bystander. The man takes ZERO responsibility for anything. His strategy has evolved from ‘Blame Bush’ to I’m an Outsider. Perfectly illustrating just how infantile, petulant and utterly immature he is as a man and more importantly, as a leader.
Being Obama means never having to say, “I’m sorry, I was wrong” because admitting mistakes requires a level of integrity and humility, two attributes that he is woefully short on.

Do your seriously believe Obama had secretly planned for some people to lose their insurance? Because that's just paranoid. I do agree though, he really should have known that this plan wasn't all it was cracked up to be, as it was originally a Republican plan.

Question: Do you think this scandal will be Watergate for Chris Christie?


Never underestimate the stupidity of a Republican. Yes it will. He is finished.


The same goes for the Democrats!
