Americans can multitask. We can demand investigation of the current boatload of scandals without losing sight of the Benghazi massacre

Obama’s Shiny Objects



Pick a scandal, any scandal. Don't like any of the current scandals? Don't worry, just like a city bus, there will be a new one along in ten minutes or so. But, why now? It's not as if the administration suddenly became corrupt. How is it a whole slew of scandals involving the Obama administration hit all at once
You certainly can't thank the vertebrae-challenged republicans for it. Remember Fast n Furious which quietly faded into oblivion? Darrell Issa isn't strong enough. Now we've got the administration spying on journalists, using the IRS to harass innocent Americans who happen to be patriots and the scandal de jour, we found out that our personal emails and cell phone calls are being monitored by the NSA twisting anti terrorist laws well beyond absurdity. But wait, didn't Obama tell us he took care of that problem already?

You will note the one unresolved scandal that gets no attention right now is Benghazi. The media is too busy chasing the daily disgrace. From where Obama sits, this is a good thing. The snooping stuff, meh. He can push that off on rogue operators in the NSA, the IRS or whichever government agency fits best. Granted, he's backed himself into something of a corner as far as his possible defenses go. He can only make one of two arguments: 1) I knew all about it and master minded each of the operations or 2) I'm a clueless figurehead who knows nothing about what goes on in my own administration. Benghazi, however, is the one scandal he cannot blame on anyone other than himself. Barack Obama was Commander in Chief during the Benghazi attack. It was he alone who could have issued the orders for our special forces to stand down and let our ambassador and three other Americans be slaughtered. He can blame Hillary for setting up the embassy for assault, but when it came time to step up and be a Commander in Chief, Obama wasn't there. As bad as the IRS, media harassment and full-bore spying on American citizens scandals are, nobody has died. Each of those scandals deserves a complete investigation by independent counsel. But, Benghazi is the one that is a genuine menace to Obama. His conduct pretty much defines dereliction of duty as Commander in Chief of the United States military. With a few notable exceptions, we can expect republicans to let it slide right by just as Fast n Furious did. That idiot, Eric Holder still has his job, after all. We need someone stronger than Darrell Issa at the helm. From Obama's perspective, it makes perfect sense to roll out a bunch of shiny objects in the form of a constant barrage of new scandals that he can blame on others in hopes that Benghazi will simply evaporate. Americans can multitask. We can demand investigation of the current boatload of scandals without losing sight of the Benghazi massacre. What we can't do is let Obama keep rolling new shiny objects out to distract us from the scandal which could and properly should take down this White House.
