tschu Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Except that this wasn't just one or two TeaBagger groups--it was a statistically significant number of them that were abusing the system. Cite, please. My point was never to get into an argument about this, regardless. My point was that Obama is the head of a country of 300+ million with millions who work in government at all levels completing billions of tasks and making billions of decisions each day. It is a misguided conclusion to say that any one man can effectively control every single aspect of what happens in the government, whether large or small. If I slack off and don't do any work on Friday afternoons, that's hardly the CEO's fault. If some evidence comes out that Obama made some calls to the IRS saying "OMG we need to CRUSH the Tea Party LOL" then sure, that's a scandal. But I don't think any mistakes that the government or military made that we are discussing are scandalous at all. Having sex with a female assistant is a presidential scandal. Manufacturing evidence in order to start a war with questionable motive is a presidential scandal. The list of stuff in this thread is all bad happenings but we're too quick to credit or blame the president whenever anything happens. 2 Link to comment

tschu Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The funny thing is that the Tea Party is absolutely no threat to the liberals. The voters they would need to focus on are the middling-ground, undecided ones. The most conservative of the conservative will always be such and focusing "partisan attacks" of any sort on them is a waste of time. Link to comment

TGHusker Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Howard Dean: ‘Benghazi is a Laughable Joke’ By Andrew Johnson May 21, 2013 Comments Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice last week in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” Dean said. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed off the controversy over the administration’s response to the terrorist attack as an effort by Republicans to score political points. ”It’s very clear what happened with Benghazi, this is ridiculous,” he said. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/348899/dean-‘benghazi-laughable-joke’-andrew-johnson ================= Link to comment
