| A Republican member of Congress has described President Barack Obama's handling of the violence in Libya as 'probably more serious than Watergate' and called for an independent counsel to investigate. Representative Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee said that the Obama administration's initial refusal to characterise the murder of U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi on September 11 as a terrorist act smacked of a cover-up. 'This is why we need an independent counsel and we need the investigations top begin immediately,' she told Fox News. 'I think this is

NerØbama has made Carter, Nixon, Roosevelt, Wilson (Beck hates that man), and even the "original" (aka Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus) look good.

Benghazi and Fast & Furious. Where are the investigative reporters in the MSM? Nixon was a rank amateur compared to these loathsome people.

I was in Graduate school when Nixon was president, and my classmates and professor all hated him. The hatred was palpable, and after the 1972 McGovern fiasco, the classmates and professors were even more hateful.
At the point watergate took place, a parking ticket would have gotten Nixon impeached.
And during the House Committee hearings, Hillary Clinton was working for the committee as a lawyer. But she had failed the D.C. bar exam, then considered the easiest one in the U.S.
So Lizzie Warren is not the first to practice law without a license. (hillary also worked for an NGO as counsel, without a license to practice law. And I doubt Hillary ever took the Arkansas bar exam.)

For you younger posters, Watergate wasn't that big a deal, especially in comparison with what we saw under Clinton and what were seeing today. Plus, it was pretty much a John Dean operation (Dean is that little metrosexual dweeb who appears on TV to Republican bash from time to time.)

Have made this comment before on Lucianne, but since this is a "new" article:
The most violent act that occurred during Watergate was when G. Gordon Liddy shot out a light bulb over an entrance to the hotel using an air powered pellet gun.
So far we have 4 dead diplomatic types on our side and a considerable number of "useful idiots" on the other side along with 20 or so embassies burned, trashed and otherwise damaged. (plus a school)
The biggest question is not what happened in Benghazi. It is what is this incident being used to distract us from (except the obvious: the election.)

Remember the horror of Nixon's 'enemies list?' He was rightly criticized for using an arm of the US government to punish innocent citizens. NOW the democrats have simply told them to punish ALL of us via Obamacare. Oh, I know they said they would not do that, so I must be the problem here because this federal government would not ever fib to us would it?

Re 5
Hilary also did not receive a letter of recommendation for her work on watergate because of unethical actions.
She went to Arkansas because she could not practice in DC - not to follow her man.
She has behaved unethically ever since that time.
She lied about Snipergate.
She is lying by commission / omission about Benghazigate.
This time four Americans are dead.
Did Obama and Hilary set up Ambassador Stevens because he threatened to expose Soeteros Chicago bathhouse activities? Abledins Muslim Brotherhood treason?
Is Obama still Indonesian?
So many lies - Hilary is the epicenter of corruption and communism. Obama is its figurehead and Valerie Jarrett is his handler.

TRENTON — Talk about an odd couple. Liberal media mogul Arianna Huffington is bringing GOP star Gov. Chris Christie to the White House Correspondents´ dinner later this month. The governor will feel at home with the Huffington Post founder´s other guests: New Jersey natives Jon Bon Jovi of Sayreville and Shaquille O´Neal of Newark, according to Women´s Wear Daily, which first reported the invites. Shaq recently visited Christie at the Statehouse in Trenton. Christie was one half of an unusual pairing last year, too, when he made headlines for sitting next to bombshell "Modern Family" actress Sofia Vegara.

NORFOLK, Va.— A top general says federal budget cuts that will ground one-third of the U.S. Air Force´s active-duty force of combat planes including fighters and bombers means "accepting the risk that combat airpower may not be ready to respond immediately to new contingencies as they occur."Gen. Mike Hostage, commander of Air Combat Command at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia, issued the warning Tuesday as the Pentagon braces for more effects of the automatic spending cuts triggered by the lack of a budget agreement in Washington.

I don´t mean in a Nazis vs Communists, Hitler vs Stalin, way. I mean in a moderate way: Conservative activists vs Labour activists, you might say. It´s difficult to imagine Conservative activists behaving like the people who celebrated Margaret Thatcher´s death in Glasgow and Brixton. That´s partly because it´s hard to think of any Left-wing leader who had as powerful an effect on the country as she did. But, still, between them, Harold Wilson and Jim Callaghan – with quite a lot of help from Edward Heath – led to a disastrous decline in British fortunes in the 1970s,

House Republican leaders on Wednesday criticized President Obama for conditioning the entitlement reforms in his budget on GOP support for higher taxes. While they said Obama “deserves some credit” for including entitlement reforms in his spending blueprint, they said the president shouldn’t hold the plan “hostage” in the debate over tax revenues. “While the president has backtracked on some of his entitlement reforms that were in conversations that we had a year and a half ago, he does deserve some credit for come incremental entitlement reforms that he has outlined in his budget,” Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told reporters Wednesday

The U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday said it will delay a cost-cutting plan to end Saturday mail delivery, following congressional action that blocked the effort. Congress passed a temporary federal spending bill last month including language that prevents the agency -- which lost $15.9 billion last year -- from going to a Monday-to-Friday mail delivery schedule. The agency, which wanted to begin the new schedule Aug. 5, said the decision was made Tuesday by its board of governors. “By including restrictive language in the Continuing Resolution, Congress has prohibited implementation of a new national delivery schedule,”

President Obama´s budget plan would increase taxes by $580 billion over the next decade, but it relies on many proposals that have been repeatedly rejected by Congress. Some were rejected as recently as January, when Congress voted to make permanent a series of tax cuts first enacted under President George W. Bush. Among them, a proposal to limit itemized deductions for high-income families. One new proposal is a 94 cents-a-pack increase in the cigarette tax. The tax would raise an estimated $78 billion over the next decade to pay for early childhood education.

Thomas spoke to an appreciative audience at Duquesne Law School in Pittsburgh. The crowd of about 1,200 people responded with both applause and laughter as he discussed politics, the makeup of the Supreme Court, race, and his own struggles to find his path in life. Thomas said he doesn’t bear any ill-will toward other people who hold views sharply different from his.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes.

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

In a stunning end to one of the most aggressively unsuccessful tenures in retail history, JCPenney (JCP) last night announced that CEO Ron Johnson would be leaving effective immediately. Myron Ullman, Johnson´s predecessor at JCPenney, takes office as CEO. When Johnson was initially wooed by JCPenney, it was to serve as CEO with Ullman as Chairman. In January 2012, Ullman was unceremoniously removed from the board. Gone with Ullman was any control the Board of Directors had over Ron Johnson and his control of JCPenney resources.
