I think Nixon did the same thing.
The ploy here is so obvious even I can see it.
There will be a ton of people thrown under the bus for the IRS thingy, for which Obama will claim he had no knowledge. The plan is to divert our attention from Benghazi which, if he says one word about, he’ll fall deeper and deeper into the lie.
He cannot claim he called it a terrorist act from the beginning without addressing the fact that for two weeks he said it was a video inciting a spontaneous riot.
I think Nixon came out and said something to the effect that “he’s no crook”....Obama will do the same.
Fact is, he’s the worst president we’ve had in my life time. All this is his side show from the reality that emperor’s new clothes are just thin air.
Nixon gave several of these. But never this early as I recall. Maybe that’s simply modern strategy at work. Or maybe he’s in big trouble.
