Benghazi and Watergate: A Tale of Two Scandals

Richard Nixon was the President during the event we call 'Watergate'. It refers to a break in of the DNC campaign headquarters.  I have no idea what they were looking for, he probably didn't know either. Dumb idea. Dumb plan. Dumb cover up.  It wasn't the break in that got Nixon booted. It was the lie and the cover up.
I hope that Obama is paying attention.  Perhaps he is so narcissistic to believe that he couldn't be impeached.  He may well be that dumb.  I know that he can't pronounce corpsman.  But that is a military term, and that isn't something he wouldn't be familiar with.
If we had a free and open media that did their jobs, they would have dug into what happened in Benghazi back in 2012.  They would have had reporters asking tough questions.  They would have had interviews that made Obama nervous, instead of slow, soft pitches like he got from Bill O'Reilly.  It was pitiful.
I am heartened to see that Congressman Trey Gowdy is going to be leading one of the investigating committees.  Mr. Gowdy has a history of taking zero crap.  Of course, he is being pilloried from the left.  The standard talking points are something in the neighborhood of this happened two years ago.  Old news, we have already had 13 different investigations into this.  Move on, there is nothing to see here.  What difference does it make, now, this is all a partisan witch hunt.
I have read at least five variations from this, that's how I know that the msm and the left in general, is not happy with it.  There was a time when the media set the news cycle.  Of course, there was a time when the media reported all of the news, also.  Happy days.  But now they have a full fledged honest to goodness scandal in their midst-and the best they can manage is to tell me not to worry about it.
Hooey talk.
Of course, in their defense, the scandals are coming pretty fast and furious.  See what I did there?  But in all seriousness, you need a score card to keep track of the crap that Obama has lied about, mismanaged or simply broke the law over.  And now it would seem that B.O. is trying a truly Nixonian tactic- the IRS- the group responsible for keeping track of what everyone everywhere owes the government- claims to have lost the emails that are directly covering when Ms. Lerner was illegally denying Tea Party Groups their tax exempt status.
To quote the Church Lady- "how convenient."
Nixon had the decency to resign. Don't hold your breath that B.O. will be as honorable.  You'll thank me later.
