   In four words how would you describe the bevy of latest Obama administration scandals?
   
   The Benghazi embassy murders. The IRS targeting conservative groups. The DOJ's invasion of journalists' phone records. DOJ head, Eric Holder, poised to investigate himself.
   In only four words, how would you sum up the bevy of scandals currently surrounding the Obama administration?

        I don't believe I suggested anything of the sort.  The difference is the scandals in the current adm are not one off's.  They are a pattern of lawlessness in every agency unlike any other Dem or Repub administration in recent history.

        I'm sorry...anyone who thinks Obama is worse than Bush is not living in the same universe. We are on such different planes, might as well be different planet.But the R's don't get to harass because of it! And they are. IF lying so bad,Gonzales first!

        They are all guilty of something. But since we are splitting hairs, which is worse; the covering up of an event or initiating the event? The end result of Iran-Contra was loss of life. The result of a cover-up maybe loss of some jobs, but not lives.

        The question is the motives.  We don't know if Obama directed this yet. And may never know as long as people like Mrs Lerner take the 5th.  But whoever ordered it, there motives in each case were not to help anyone and pose a threat to democracy.

        Landmark. I'm talking about Benghazi compared to Iran- Contra. I think you knew that but tried to pull an O'Reilly on me. The IRS thing may be a threat to democracy, but is dwarfed by the impact an armed group of gorillas could have on the world.

        No the Bush adm obtained FISA warrants. They work differently.  In terms if Benghazi, for all we know the order to stand down may have come from the WH.  We won't know until they stop stonewalling and allow those involved to be interviewed.

        The order to stand down came from David Patreous--CIA. and-
        "Court Says Bush Illegally Wiretapped Two Americans" By David Kravets
        03.31.10. And Gonzales lied to congress about getting approval by gang of 8. Impeach? Nope-R's are Untouchable. Dirty.

        I am assuming you haven't seen the emails turned over to congress the show it was the Adm changing the narrative of what transpired.  Perhaps if the Adm would allow the witnesses to be deposed we might get some answers.

        What more than Issa won't  allow a man engaged in the issue to testify publically....and the man WANTS to. So--what's the hold up? Issa wants what he says to remain secret. Maybe you should ask: what

        What are you talking about...He was subpoenaed by Issa...He wants to be able to question him on classified issues first before he has a public hearing because you can't discuss classified info publicly.  One step at a time.

    "Their true nature revealed." are the 4 words I would use.
    Washington's corruption brought into the light would be the longer version.
    That said I don't think the Republicans are any more honest or any less corrupt.
    These things have been going on in every administration for decades if not centuries, certainly since WWII.
    It has gotten worse with each passing term and today the cancer that is our government may well be past the operable phase and into the incurable time bomb state.

    Obama. Thinks. He's. god.
    
    Tired of the fake pretending he is exempt from the laws of the constitution and the democrats who are blind to his faults and failures.  He is not a god, therefore, like anyone else he has faults.  No politician is perfect, but the ability of Obama to blind people to his imperfections is almost freaky.....reminds me of the Nicolai Carpathia in the "Left Behind" series.

    "More Important than HSBC"
    
    Conservatives are up in arms about this. It goes back and forth, I will admit that there is some support for the allegations (at least as far as the IRS is concerned; I think trying to lay Benghazi at anyone's feet is ridiculous, and could just as likely backfire, due to concerns over funding).
    
    But what gets me, is we have HSBC, a private institution, now operating above the law. No jail time, a slap on the wrist. This despite funneling money for both the Cartels and Terrorist organizations. And when it happens, barely a peep, out of either party.
