Seriously, is Benghazi all they have to attack Obama with because it's getting a bit tiredsome

First and foremost please don't take this the wrong way - what happened in Libya was horrible. And I trust that the Obama administration is doing all they can to bring to justice those that caused these attacks.

But I swear the right-wing is trying to turn this into some Iranian Hostage Crisis.

I mean George Bush can skip reading important memos about Terrorists learning to fly planes and the Right Wing still found no fault with him on that one. And 9/11 happened on US soil and killed a whole lot more people. Plus in the end Bush said he didn't even care if we ever brought Osama bin Laden to justice (Which Obama did).

Now I read where they are trying to turn Sandy into another Katrina and once again that is a GIANT fail. Over 1800 people died because of Katrina - died because there was no government on ANY level that tried to clear out the city before the Hurricane landed. Sandy impacted a way larger populated area and yet so far it's been less than 100 who have died. There is still much work to be done because of Sandy but it seems that we are getting it done and putting politics aside to make this happen.

Desperation thy name is the Republican Party!

to reduce funding for security as well.

It is all about going after Hillary in 2016, I think. The rabid anti Clinton folks are getting going early on.

I here them talk about on the others sites I visit. The fact that they are politicizing a tragedy escapes them.
Embassies were attacked during Bush's term too and they didn't freak out like this. They can't give Obama credit on killing Bin Laden but this is a huge scandal.

When they find out this one isn't going to either they'll move on to the next faux outrage.

found something new to entertain their brain-dead audience. Lets hope if Obama wins the EV
he also gets the popular vote or we will hear about dead people voting for years.
