I like time machine and going back in time storylines--In the world of movies, they usually aren't very complex, but in reality, imagine a spiderweb of separate strands and what would happen if one strand were altered and what might be the possible implications for future events. Now imagine that when the first accusations came out against President Nixon, he had been allowed to have his Judicial Department investigate what we now know as 'Watergate'. Do you think they would have allowed the truth to come out? The truth which eventually exposed the serious illegal actions of the President, brought about impeachment proceedings and forced him to resign?
Reason tells us 'no'. Yet, the Obama Administration is insisting that they be allowed to investigate the events surrounding Benghazi, the IRS targetting political opponents and the illegal wire tapping of AP reporters.
WHO in their right mind thinks NOT appointing a special prosecutor to investigate is a good idea???? Let's hope our elected leaders in Washington will do the right thing and do their job to make sure this is investigated properly.

Someone needs to inform the Prez....
Now Pres. Obama says he didn't find out that his administration was wiretapping the AP until he read it in the newspaper.
Either he's a liar or his staff is incompetent. If he's a liar, there isn't much we can do about it--the people picked him, but if it is an incompetent staff, then they need to be replaced with people who can do their job; which apparently is to keep the President updated on current events between his parties, vacations and golf outings.
My guess is that he's lying and he's pretty bad at it. I remember the first time he lied to us--the people. He claimed he'd NEVER discussed his open senate seat with ANYONE. That was a foolish lie and right then I knew we were dealing with a habitual liar--one who doesn't even know how to lie convincingly. All he had to say was 'Of course I've discussed who they should consider to replace me in the Senate--but just giving suggestions is expected and that's the extent of my involvement.' But no, he had to claim he said nothing to anyone-hadn't had a conversation at all and this was totally unbelievable.
It is also unbelievable that no one on his staff ever warns him of things brewing--he's always oblivious to the scandals--even ones that have been simmering for a couple of years, such as the IRS mess.
If you are wondering, the answer is no...I don't think his staff is incompetent--at least not in this situation.

Benghazi lies and obstruction in light of the Valerie Plame episode.
As more information comes to light about the Benghazi Embassy terror attack, it is clear that lies were told, the public was mislead and information was obscured--all to protect the President's reelection bid. It worked because he got his four more years.
I'm reminded of Scooter Libby and the Valerie Plame episode. Scooter Libby was indicted on two counts of perjury, two counts of making false statements to federal investigators and one count of obstructions of justice. He was forced to resign from the three government positions he held. He was later convicted of four of the five counts against him and received a prison sentence. Given what is being revealed about the Benghazi coverup, I'd expect nothing less than the same treatment if we find that govt. officials made false statements and obstructed justice--but I won't hold my breath.
Scooter Libby was Republican and that seems to be a requirement for justice to be meted out when it comes to political appointees behaving badly.

Better late than never....
From Fox News.com this morning;
"President Obama said he is unaware of longstanding efforts by Republican lawmakers to question survivors of the Benghazi attacks but pledged to investigate the issue.
“I’m not familiar with this notion that anybody has been blocked from testifying,” the president said during a White House news conference on Tuesday. “So what I’ll do is I will find out what exactly you’re referring to.”
You've GOT to be kidding.... either he's a complete doof or he's lying. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt that he's sincere and REALLY has no clue what's been going on for months and months.
How pathetic is it when average citizens know more about what's going on in current events than the 'leader of the Free World'! Pres. Obama apparently doesn't even bother to read newspapers, let alone attend briefings.
Could someone on his staff please READ the news stories to him while he's traveling around to his various golf outings and celebrity fundraisers???
