Obama's Watergate - Benghazi

One had his Watergate, the other has his Benghazi-gate

The most transparent administration in history, so proclaimed by President Obama almost four years ago, has proven to be anything but. Way back when, when the president was pushing the train wreck we now know as Obamacare, the president said everything would be open and above board. As we saw, the bill was stuffed down our throats in three days time...few if any Congressmen even read it before they voted on it. It's doubted the president even read it. The House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, " You have to pass it to find out what's in it."

This type of "transparency" has been the status quo for this administration on just about every issue, from Obamacare to failed stimulus packages to the disaster known as Benghazi. This administration, from the president to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, UN Ambassador Susan Rice, Press Secretary Jay Carney to countless other Democrats have

lied to the American people about the details of the incident and are guilty of a cover-up. The liberal media has, for the most part, ignored the story, as part of their continuing love affair with Mr. Obama.

The last president who lied and covered up an incident was Richard Nixon in the 70's, the scandal known as Watergate. It was his downfall, forcing him from office. Watergate was considered serious business back then, the Democrats relentless in their pursuit of Nixon. Now the shoe is on the other foot, it's one of their own who is backed into a corner. Dems and Libs are crying foul, calling it a witch hunt. How soon they forget.

While both Watergate and now Benghazi-gate are serious incidents when it comes to government involvement at the highest level, there is a glaring difference. No one died as a result of Watergate! Some Watergate co-conspirators did go to jail. However, four Americans, including the Ambassador to Libya, were murdered during the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. They died because this president failed to do his duty to protect the American people, a duty he has often said was his first responsibility.

There is a call for more hearings and it seems possible that more whistle blowers will come out of the wood work. Read More: Congress To Push For More Info.

The continuing Benghazi story, along with news that the IRS, under Obama's watch, targeted conservative groups leading p to the 2012 election. Looks like another bad week for "President Transparency."
