Jay Carney became a little defensive when he was asked by Major Garrett if the recent scandals were "partisan fishing expeditions" on Tuesday. After Carney asserted that Benghazi, IRS targeting, and Department of Justice seizure of AP records all had partisan elements, Carney was asked if the HHS Secretary fundraising for Obama was a "partisan fishing expedition." "We could go down the list," Carney responded. "We could say, 'What about the President's birth certificate?'" "I'm not asking that," Garrett shot back.
“I hollered for my little dog and he didn’t answer, didn’t come, so I know he’s in here somewhere,” she said, scanning the apocalyptic landscape.

PIRRO: The president didn't know that the Inspector General was investigating his IRS for targeting political enemies. The president didn't know anything about his Justice Department's seizure of Associated Press phone records. The Attorney General didn't know anything about his department's subpoena of AP records. But then again, Holder's the one who didn't know anything about Fast & Furious either. And of course Hillary didn't know anything about the requests for help in Benghazi. And Joe Biden, well he just doesn't know anything about anything. So who's running the joint? I'm convinced my mom could do a better job. (Justice with Judge Jeanine Pirro, May 18, 2013)
Yes, because the "legacy" of one president is so much more important than the deaths of four people and the growing boldness of those who would attack us at home and abroad.
Bush was raked over the coals because he chose to stay calm in front of a group of young schoolchildren on 9/11 - yet today we hear that Obama's whereabouts when our consulate was being attacked in Benghazi, Libya is "irrelevant." Something smells, and it isn't Michelle's Arugula Surprise.
They SHOULD be. But time and time again, news junkies like us discover that not everyone shares our passion - the average American is likely to know more about Kim Kardashian's swollen ankles during her pregnancy than the scandals miring our executive branch.
Government forcing you to buy a product or service should have sparked a concern! The latest dirt on the IRS simply adds fuel to the fire.
