With Unemployment Shrinking and Obamacare Working, GOP Pushes All In On Benghazi

On a day where the unemployment rate fell to pre-financial crisis levels, and a month after private insurance enrollments through the ACA exceeded all expectations, Republicans decided to focus on the only thing they now think they can hammer President Obama on — Benghazi. Yes, nearly two years after the tragic events that unfolded on September 11th, 2012 and took the lives of four Americans, House Republicans are pushing for additional investigations into, well, I’m not even sure exactly what it IS they are looking for.

Issa and his band of jackasses have pissed away $14 MILLION on these never ending crusades...and for what? Nothing.

anything but "Benghazi" is a distraction. For some liberals, discussion of Ralph Nader, who is not a Democrat, is a distraction. Distractions, distractions, everywhere. Is there an approved list of topics Democrats can discuss without being accused of "distraction"?

Useful information to prevent future Benghazi events from happening. So we get nothing from wasteful Republican spending. Issa needs to go away and we could cut spending.

Talk about crying wolf over and over.
Yes the strong republican supporters will push this but the average working American is more concerned about living day to day.
