The Benghazi Hearings 2.0 or what ever start Wednesday May 8th. No matter what truth comes out...it will make little difference because minds are made up. We now live in an age were it is more important to "stand by your man... candidate...hero..." than to open that mind and perhaps see the error of your loyalty. The days of the masses turning on a political leader the way they did President Richard Nixon are gone...well at least for now. Perhaps it is racism or white guilt that is prohibiting the masses for seeing what is really going on. Nixon won in massive landslide in '72 with 60% of the vote and all but 17 electoral votes. Nixon won 49 states... And by '74 the same public turned on him. And looking back was Watergate really that big a deal compared to Benghazi?
Obama well he just got 51.1% of the vote and won 26 of the states...yet...it is doubtful his inaction, and subsequent cover-up and lies regarding the Benghazi Massacre will erode any support from the 51.1%. Why is that? Are people now unwilling to change their opinions because of what? Pride? White Guilt? Racism Fear of being labeled a racist? What is it?
One thing we have learned over the last 4+ years of Obama's presidency is he and his team never take ownership of failures. And the media has not held his feet to the same fire it has to the previous tenants of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Never has one leader of a country with a free press been given such a free pass by the press. And when he gives long winded but answerless replies to questions...the media refuses to follow up.
And that is the second problem...the media for the most part is no less interested in the truth than they are going along to get along. Where are the pot stirrers, the muckrakers? Why is Obama treated like a Faberge Egg? Are they too racist or riddled with white guilt or fearful they would be labeled racist by their media brethren?
After tomorrow the same number of people that think Obama is an incompetent President tonight will think he is then...and the same people that think he is beyond reproach and a glorious leader will still think the same.
FOX News' motto has always been "We report, you decide"....but in 2013 the decide part will not change not matter what is reported. And until THAT changes for the masses...both right and left...we are stuck with a divided country.
Perhaps Obama's true legacy will be to make the blue states bluer and the red states redder...but that does not make America better in any way.
