Opinion: Scandals undermine trust in Obama

While there is no proof that he was directly involved in the actual planning of the burglary, I'm sure you'll agree all his leading advisors were involved. Since he kept a very tight rein on his White House, it strains credulity to think he didn't have a hand in it. To my knowledge, no one in the Obama White House is charged with planning the attack in Libya, so it is still a false analogy.

For the sake of brevity earlier, I misspoke. However, Nixon's crew did plan the beak in. Even the right wingers aren't alleging (I don't think) that Obama or his advisors planned and executed the Libya attack.

The analogy is flawed unless there is proof that Obama directly was involved in the attack in Libya. "Cause Tricky Dick was directly involved in the Watergate break-in.

Affordable Care Act bringing jobs to Lawrence

The Pope just made the same point. "In a biblical reference, the pontiff said the "worship of the golden calf" of old had found a new and heartless image in the current cult of money.

People struggled to live, and frequently in an undignified way, under the dictatorship of an economy which lacked any real human goal, Pope Francis said.

Wars of aggression like Iraq and Vietnam are not in any way in defense of the nation. Lesson right back at ya.

All defense contracts would fit the same category. Eliminate the defense industry since it is just taking from citizens, right? :)

Opinion: Benghazi, IRS: Son of Watergate?

You are mistaken. You would be hard-pressed to find any post I have made which defends Obama. I have made repeated posts pointing out how little outrage there was when the last guy did the same and much worse with the vocal support of the conservatives on this board and the conservative contingent in general.

Opinion: What, exactly, was the IRS thinking?

Didn't say it was okay. Said it was nothing new. Nixon did it best.
