Why the Benghazi Cover-Up is Not the Next Watergate
Townhall ^ | May 8, 2013 | Neal Boortz

Posted on 05/08/2013 11:29:16 AM PDT by old school

"But what about the American people? Really? Think about that for a few moments. Now … you’re not telling me that the same people who put this colossal failure back into the White House for four more years is going to get worked up over Benghazi, are you?"

Because republicans are wimps and maybe even knew of the corruption going on and did nothing. Guns to Syria?

I was going to disagree with this assertion -- I was going to point out that Nixon won 49 states in 1972, yet Watergate took him down, so Obama's re-election does not protect him or give him any sort of immunity.

But I actually clikced on the article, and I think the article is correct:

Watergate -- the press hated Nixon and wanted to take him down.
Watergate -- the American people were engaged and paying attention to politics.

Bengahzi -- the press will work to protect Obama.
Benghazi -- Americans enjoy their checks from the government, or they are focused on being one of the people who DON'T get checks from the government. Bengahzi?? No one is watching.

I agree with this analysis.

Though I hope Boortz is wrong, he makes some good points. Typical Obama voter reaction may be

I got my ObamaPhone, so what!

I got my food stamps, so what!

I got my section 8 housing, so what!

I got my ObamaCare, so what!

Need I go on?

Given that Obama cannot be reelected, perhaps more and more Demorcats will decide that there is nothing to be gained by continuing to support him.

Don't think they're not trying to get around this amendment.

They are doing this all wrong.

1- congress should subpoena the publishers and CEO’s of the MSM.
2- ask why they are covering up for Obama’s high crimes and misdemeanors.
3- arrest all of them for sedition.

But Democrats are "the good guys". The Democrat voters have to support the Democrat politicians come hell or high water. If the realization dawns that Democrats are not good guys, then the voters have to look in the mirror and say "I'm the sort of person who votes for crooks, liars, and murderers."

Democrats can't go there. It would break their mind. So the "re-election" issue doesn't matter -- they still need to support Obama, no matter what. Because he's a good guy. He is! He is! He is!

You are absolutely right. This is a waste of time. The communists Democrats including King Obama are immune from these criminal acts.

While the hearings are riveting, I seriously doubt HUSSEIN and hillary will be punished in any way shape or form, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that someone low on the totem pole will take the fall for this.
