In a new post at the College Conservative, Elizabeth Marcello asks an important question.

Nixon Resigned, Shouldn’t Obama?

With the fortieth anniversary of Richard Nixon’s resignation from the presidency on August 3rd came replays of the Watergate scandal on most television news stations. Eager to avoid listening to the half-informed remarks of commentators on national news channels, I turned to the Richmond Times Dispatch morning newspaper to get a quick update of what I thought would be important information on current events. Front page, in a specially colored box, a bolded title caused me to both grumble in frustration and laugh about the idiocy of today’s “journalism”:

“40 years later, Nixon’s misconduct in Watergate ‘remains unequaled.’”

Unequaled, you say? Shall we take a virtual stroll through the current President’s scandal-ridden administration?

Maybe we should start with the Benghazi cover-up. Some individuals (read: liberals) are probably tired of reading my articles on Benghazi, but I refuse to apologize for demanding the truth about the unnecessary deaths of four American citizens serving our country. Extra security was requested for the base in Benghazi in June of 2012, and after three months of unanswered pleas a group of terrorists–excuse me, “protestors” of an internet video–attacked. This resulted in the murders of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty. For weeks after the incident, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and President Barack Obama himself, among others, attempted to convince the nation that these attacks were spontaneous “acts of terror,” but not terrorism.

Before the Benghazi attack could be properly dealt with, the IRS scandal rolled along. Tea Party advocacy groups noticed a strange pattern over a couple of years: they were all being audited. The IRS admitted that yes, “some of its field agents wrongly targeted tea party and other conservative groups for extra scrutiny.” The natural question that follows is: was the IRS instructed to target Tea Party groups by a higher authority? Once the Justice Department decided to initiate a half-hearted investigation, IRS official Lois Lerner claimed that her computer crashed, erasing two years worth of emails. Oops!
