President Nixon was a weasel, there isn't a lot of disagreement on that. He was paranoid, he lacked charisma, he endorsed a break in because he had to know what his opponent was planning. He lied about the break in. No one died. However, Mr. Nixon lied about the cover up, and in the end, he did the right thing and resigned his presidency in order to advance the common good. He was pardoned by President Ford, thereby guaranteeing the election of the second worse president in the history of the United States of America.
In retrospect, the pardon was the right thing. It allowed the nation to start putting the hot mess behind us. The msm was ever vigilant. In fact, it was the msm that brought the entire sordid business to light. They didn't stop digging, even without a 24 hour news cycle, they kept the nation- even the world- focused on what amounted to a petty break in. A presidency was brought down and the media rejoiced at its new found power. They were a force to be reckoned with. Earlier, they had flexed their muscle with the war in Vietnam-making it a nightly feature on the evening news, and souring the fight in the American people. The war was lost and the msm was one of the factors.
Nixon was generally vilified by all and sundry, mocked, ridiculed, and cast a side. He became a punch line.
Fast forward to 2008 and a wholly unqualified individual who ran for president. He was unvetted by the now adoring media. He was adulated, adored, and held to no known standard. His origin of birth was made an issue by team Hillary, who until the sudden rise of Obama was the presumptive nominee. Yes, you read that right. Hillary Clinton, the person whose sole qualification for president, or for that matter, Secretary of State- was in looking the other way while her husband inserted a cigar into the vagina of an unpaid intern-was the person responsible for questions being raised regarding Barack Soetoro/Obama's place of birth. She is the original birther. The media yawned.
After all, Richard Milhouse Nixon was responsible for four men breaking into a hotel room at the Watergate Hotel and looking for information about the plans of the DNC. The horror.
This same yawning media has zero interest in what happened in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. Yes, the anniversary of the worst attack on United States Soil in over fifty years, was not the reason for the attack. Mrs. Clinton has no idea what the reason for the attack was, and as she so eloquently screeched at a congressional hearing, " At this point, what difference does it make?"
The msm yawned. Four people were murdered, help was requested and denied, one of those murdered people was drug through the streets, sodomized, tortured, beaten, and disfigured and Secretary Clinton would like to know what difference it makes now.
B.O. did his usual transparent administration thing and had no knowledge of any of the events. In fact, while our brave men were being murdered, Mr. Obama claims that he went to bed early in order to get a good night's sleep for the next morning's fund raiser.
Before he allowed these four men to be murdered, B.O. had had a hand in the deaths of hundreds of others. He had tried to create a gun violence crisis south of the border by allowing hundreds of untraced guns to flow into Mexico. In his usual transparent manner he has covered the entire event with an executive order. How transparent is that? With very few exceptions, the msm has yawned.
Next up in the scandal meter is the tapping of the phones that the self same media uses. Another big yawn. After that there was the matter of the IRS denying hundreds of applications to Tea Party and Libertarian organizations that could have made a huge difference in the 2012 elections. Another big media yawn.
In fact, using the IRS as a weapon was something that Mr. Nixon had done, and was one of the most hotly reported items for weeks on end. When Obama did it? Huge yawn from the msm.
So in the grand scheme of things, at least Mr. Nixon had the decency to resign and spare our great Republic from any more of his mistakes. Obama will have to be impeached and drug screaming from the Oval office.
The sooner the better. Think about it. You'll thank me later.
