Obama did not want his theme of "Osama is dead, al-Qaida is on the run" to be undercut by an Islamist terrorist attack on our ambassador. Clinton did not want her department's denial of pleas for additional security in Libya to become known.

Obama was on Letterman days after he sent Susan Rice out to lie. Obama blames it on Youtube video.

Obama is calling Benghazi a "sideshow." *Dead Americans and an attack on our consulate on September 11, 2012 is a "sideshow"?* On that alone, he shows how unqualified, incompetent, dangerous and unconcerned he is/was with American lives and national security -- not to mention that he has, yet again, been exposed as a vicious, bald-faced liar.

Panic Time!: Obama’s attempt at damage control laughable ...................................................................................... Wednesday, May 15, 2013 By: Joe Battenfeld Nice try, Mr. President. Feigning anger, firing an unknown bureaucrat and fleeing the podium won’t cut it with voters, or stop the hemorrhaging of the scandals that have spawned a Watergate-like feel around the Obama administration. There was a certain panicky look about the way the president quickly delivered a rare evening White House statement to try to quell the growing outrage over the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups. The move showed how damaging the scandal has become to Obama’s second term and maybe even his presidency. [iframe name="ad_Middle" id="ad_Middle" src="http://bostonherald.com/sites/default/files/oascache/bh.heraldinteractive.com/news/columnists/joe_battenfeld/article/Top_Bottom_Middle_Middle1_Middle2_Middle3_Position1_Position2_Position3_Right_x01_x05_x07_x14_x15_x16_x80/Middle.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" frameborder="0" height="250" scrolling="no" width="300"][/iframe] But Obama took no questions and, more importantly, no responsibility for the ugly episode of the federal government abusing its power for political reasons. This was just political theater designed to distance Obama from something that happened on his watch. Obama sounded a lot angrier scolding Republicans for blocking his gun control bill than he did standing at the podium last night in a belated attempt at damage control. Even worse, Obama had the gall to warn any critics in Congress to “treat (the IRS) with the responsibility it deserves and in a way that doesn’t smack of politics or partisan agendas.” In other words, Republicans, don’t use it against him. The problem for Obama is that what happened in the IRS was all about partisan politics. The IRS was harassing conservative groups opposed to Obama’s re-election, and the big question is why any low-level bureaucrat would be engaged in a concerted effort to hurt Obama’s opponents. Here are some other questions that Obama ducked last night but needs to answer: Why doesn’t he appoint an independent counsel to investigate this scandal? How can people in his own administration get to the bottom of something that potentially helped Obama politically? And what about those new Benghazi emails? Is Obama still sticking by his story that it was the CIA that altered talking points to make it seem as though terrorists weren’t behind the attack? And speaking of questions, where are Massachusetts’ two new U.S. senators in all this? While a number of Democratic senators and House members have expressed outrage and demanded that heads roll over the IRS abuse, we haven’t heard much of a peep out of first-term U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren or interim U.S. Sen. Mo Cowan. In fact, Warren reserved her anger yesterday for what was obviously the real outrage — Republicans blocking the appointment of the EPA administrator.
