I'm sick of the media and the rethugs on coverage on Benghazi

This is nothing but a witch hunt to go after Obama plain and simple.If Obama had lost the election the rethugs and media wouldn't even be covering it and why aren't they covering the fact that the republican lead Congress CUT the funding for all of the Embassy's

but they have to fill the hours empty of any meaningful content, with this drivel. These are folks who can't abide a vacuum and litter their landscape with fact-free, shock-style utterances.

They don't have anything here. Whatever Obama, Rice, etc. knew or said, it came from the CIA. That would be their hero, Petraeus. It was most likely what it looks like -- information that developed over time like any investigation would.

But even if it was somehow, in some way, some kind of politically motivated "lie," as Republicans so dearly want it to be, it wasn't Obama's. How could it be -- he has people who are supposed to inform him.

What would be especially interesting -- and this is *highly* speculative -- would be if Broadwell's little boast about CIA holding Libyan militants were true. Petraeus wasn't supposed to be doing that. If he was, and that motivated the attack in any way, that heaps real shame on Petraeus, a largely Republican hero, much more so than the silly sex scandal itself.

and congressional hearings every time a government employee is killed in a war zone!

This is all about Obama for the right. Nothing more. They could care less about the Ambassador (who was fully aware how dangerous Libya was) or two dead intelligence officers (who are in the danger business).
