Comparing Obama, Watergate

On Sept. 11, 2012, we saw an administration of the U.S. make decisions not in the best interests of four American lives. As the Nixon Administration did in Watergate, our now President Obama made his decisions on keeping power and winning an election, instead of the lives of four Americans.
Fear of loss of power is behind both Watergate and Benghazi, Embassy Gate. The only difference in the two is the lack of concern by the Obama Administration for the lives of four human beings. Power means more to him than their lives, and the future of this nation and our place in the Middle East.
What is more dangerous even than this is the media’s silence on this story. They want Obama in the White House as well. They are in the same bed. Mainstream media is no different than the propaganda machine of Adolf Hitler. Wake up, America.
We now know the White House knew what was taking place. We now know they denied those on the ground support from our military. It is a disgrace -- the loss of those four lives for no real, logical reason at all. They ignored the advice of those on the ground for political reasons before the attack, and during the attack and have lied to the American people from the beginning. Obama runs around the country telling Americans that they cannot trust Mitt Romney? We cannot trust Obama. Obama’s is truly the most back room and muddied administration in history. It makes Watergate look like a ladies tea party.
Nixon took no lives in Watergate, and did not harm our security or our relations around the world. Sadly, because of his immoral act, he hurt his party and his country. His fear of losing was wrong. He won decisively, and sadly he destroyed himself for no reason.
Never in the history of our country have I seen a Congress and president put the interests of the country on the side and spend their energy on being elected while the country falls apart. Please vote right on Nov. 6. I wonder, if we were directly attacked today, would Obama stop campaigning, and would congress?
