    Very much so! How many lives were lost during Watergate? None. There is no price tag that one can put on a human life, and if it were the President's daughters, Hilliary's are any of those others who were watching it in real time child or family member I bet there would have been help sent in a heart beat.

    This should be settled before the election or Obama should not be allowed to run since he was the one who should have given the order right away for help to be sent.

    I wonder how well any of them are sleeping at night that allowed this to happen? I do not see how anyone with a conscience could sleep or function at all after this. This was murder happening right in front of their eyes, and they did nothing!!!

    yes it could be

    First the President was involved in the cover up of watergate not the break in

    Second no one died in watergate

    Third All the facts are not in yet about Benghazi

    Fourth The facts that are known lead you to think that someone (President?) decided NOT to send help that could have saved at least some of the Americans

    So yes it could be much bigger and if Obama is reelected it could lead to impeachment.

    Fla thinker

    those were Americans that were killed,it was American soil that was attacked

    Im not so sure That Obama wasnt aware from the first 10 minutes of the attack. That he did nothing sent no resources no man power

    Not yet. Could be, though.

    Let me clarify - I think that an invasion on a US embassy in a foreign country that results in four deaths is far, far worse than any politician breaking into his opponent's hotel room looking for a way to cheat ...

    But Nixon authorized, or was complicit in the Watergate scandal, whereas Obama was not (we hope) complicit in Benghazi.

    The issue in both cases isn't the event, it's the coverup. It's the lies and misdirection and the dishonesty to the American People.

    So do you believe that a lie is a lie, no matter how big? Or do you believe that a lie covering up a failure of leadership that resulted in four deaths is a greater lie than one covering up a petty theft?

    Of course, technically and legally, we don't "know" what Obama knew, when he knew it, or what he did about it - so that's why I say "not yet".

    If it does come out that he knew, if the allegations are proven - that he told these agencies and personnel to "stand down", then his lies are way, way more substantial, in my opinion.

    Yes , no one died in watergate

    O had a plan and the seals were told to stand down and died .

    A admiral and a general have been removed of command for trying to help .

    gun running and kidnapping and murder are much worse than watergate !

    Absolutely!

    Watergate was "just" dirty DC politics... one side trying to get some dirt on the other... period. Yes, what the people involved did was illegal, but that's where it stops.

    Benghazi is a disgusting stew of incompetence, inefficiency, lack of engagement, lying, and cover-ups by a whole bunch of top level personnel in the Obama administration... and yes, that includes Obama himself. The repercussions of what happened there have put the entire Middle East region at even more risk of exploding than before... and that's saying something.

    And OBTW, no one died in Watergate.

    Absolutely, people died in Benghazi and the president and his administration covered it up!The investigation is on going but they won't talk about it until after the election how convenient for Obama! Can you imagine how those navy seals felt when the evac planes were never sent and they were dragged out, torchered and decapitated all because our ignorant inexperienced commander in chief denied not one, not two, but three requests for help! It's no wonder that Obama is tryinfg to suppress the military votes because very few if anyone in the military trust him! What a disgraceful excuse for a human being! Barrack Hussein Obama AKA Barry Soetoro!

    Yes definitely. The the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya was being used to smuggle weapons to Syrian rebels with connections to Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood and other jihadist fighters who already are supported by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and other jihadist regimes

    It was the weapons version of a drug deal gone bad. McCain is already putting together a Senate investigating committee, and the Republican House is going to investigate as well after the election

  • 9 years ago

    yes.

    obama ordered the killings to go on unimpeded.

    he lied, by telling the public it wasn't a terrorist attack.

    obama hates the military

    no, watergate was a president intentionally breaking the law and then covering it up. Just asking that question shows what a moron you are.
