This is a test for this President and the Democratic Party. We will see if they are capable of fighting back?
The Republicans have come up with a "cover-up" charge on the tragedy at Benghazi. Basically, they are saying it is "worse that Watergate". Then enters the bullshit.
First of all, how low are these people to try and make political points off a tragedy like Benghazi? That's the way they play the game and everyone knows it, including Republican voters.
Secondly, under the Bush Administration, there were sixty embassy personnel killed in more than a half-dozen separate attacks. At least we can say this for the Democrats: They did not try to make political hay out of it. Score one in favor of the Democratic Party.
Thirdly, the Republicans, under the leadership of Cantor and Boehner voted against more aid for more security for our embassies. Darrell Issa, the chair of the Committee making the charges, voted against that aid also.
So there you have it: The Republicans are trying to sell one big pile of steaming bullshit.

The president had better start fighting back. He had better go on the offense.
And let this be a lesson to him. Enough with this talk of bipartisanship.
