Daily Kos: Yesterday, senator and professional camera-hog John McCain (R-Sunday) gave a very angry press conference demanding a congressional committee to investigate conservatives' various, ill-defined Benghazi conspiracy theories. Ah, but then some nasty persons found out that McCain was actually skipping out on a classified briefing about Benghazi being given to the Senate Homeland Security committee (which, yes, he is on) in order to, yes, have his press conference about how we needed to be having more meetings about Benghazi.
This struck some people as odd. You might even see it as rather noteworthy evidence that John McCain cares far more about feigning Benghazi outrage in front of television cameras than he gives a damn about actually learning things about Benghazi. Apparently, John McCain thought nobody would ever consider this possibility, because McCain's response to a reporter asking him why he missed the meeting in order to demand a meeting was to have a considerably impressive meltdown.
This is just the begging of a 90's style GOP effort to get the Democratic president by whatever means necessary. The goal is to impeach him if they can, and if not, weaken him as much as possible. We've seen it before.
Obama must realize this right now. He can't just play defense like Clinton did. If he does, he'll be weakened in his second term just as Clinton was. The country can't afford that. He needs to go on offiense. We have no doubt that most Republicans in congress and from the past administration are criminals with crimes that would be easy to prove. He needs to take a couple of them down. Now. If he does that team GOP will back off and the country will be better for it.
