Watergate was corrupt and lying and there is no excuse for it. However, it was NOTHING compared with the corruption of the Obama administration. What Obama did in the GM bankruptcy was tantamount to having Luca Brazi hold a gun to the heads of the creditors and telling either their signatures or their brains would be on the paper. Using a trillion dollars of taxpayer/borrowed money to throw money at various Democrat constituencies was about as corrupt as any political move I've seen in my life and certainly far worse than anything Nixon did. And those are the very beginning. The lying, scumbag tactics they deployed during the reelection campaign were unforgivable by people having a tiniest bit of integrity. To draw any parallel with Watergate is silly. Republicans stood up against Nixon in Watergate because they did not want a lapse of integrity to scar the office. Today, the Democrats won't stand up against anything Obama does, no matter how disgusting.
