I DON'T GET IT

I never expected Mitten$ binder remark to go viral and I've never understood the Baggers claim that Pres. Obama was "covering up" the Benghazi attack.  Some gasbags claimed that the attack was proof that Pres. Obama's foreign policy was a complete FAIL, others said it put the lie to Pres. Obama's claim that Al Qaeda has been completely destroyed.  Obama has never made the latter claim and I fail to see how 4 deaths in one country means a huge FAIL of a regional policy.

The Obama administration also makes ominous claims that Iran wants weapon of mass destruction which Iran says it does not want and for which there is not even one bit of evidence. It arranges "devastating" sanctions on Iran just like former U.S. governments put such sanctions on Iraq.It threatens the use of force against Iran. Is there then any real difference between the Bush and Obama regime?

I believe, ultimately, the powers of both the DNC and RNC would like the Benghazi issue confined to the angle you are (admittedly not exclusively) emphasizing.

Nowhere near enough...

Obama is missing the chance to not cover up and condemn another attack.
