The media are shifting into high gear in their defense of President Obama, blaming the Republicans for pushing the scandal button when there is really nothing there.  Its the same thing they did when Clinton was impeached, remember, its a private matter.  Benghazi, the IRS and the AP wire taps were all done without the President's knowledge and the Republicans are blowing them all out of proportion, it is another example of the complete partisanship of the main stream media, don't ever expect it to change. 

Compare this to Steven Rattner's (former Obama car czar) claim in the NY Times this day that the White House had nothing to do with the IRS scandal.

Obama's failure to lead makes another appearance on the national scene.

Benghazi-Does it matter at this point?

Both parties are wrong about Benghazi. Existing evidence does not point to a far-reaching cover-up on the scale of Watergate, as Republicans want you to believe. But it is not, as the White House claims, nothing.
The administration’s response to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on U.S. installations in eastern Libya was inaccurate, irresponsible and shrouded by campaign-style spin. It belied President Obama’s oft-broken promise to run a transparent government.
If nothing else, Benghazi is a blow to the credibility of the president and his potential successor, then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. This could be big.  National Journal, Ron Fournier 5/10/2013

My conclusion is that the Democratic Party establishment are by and large hypocritical, elitist and racist, examples are everywhere, just look at how Clarence Thomas is treated by the left.  The Richardson/Cruz story is just another example, if you don't agree with them you are worthless.
