Why Obama's woes bigger then Nixon's!

[healthmyths]

at the minimum there are 3 on going scandals/investigations for Obama while Nixon had only "WaterGate"..

Are there any differences between Obama's woes and Nixon's?
Quantity of Woes...
1) IRS scandal: There are now four different Congressional investigations. Washington launches four investigations into IRS scandal | The Daily Caller
2) The Benghazi hearings and
3) the Department of Justice (DOJ) seizing two months of Associated Press (AP) reporters’ phone records.

Nixon... had just one scandal that didn't have any American deaths, didn't have any IRS issues nor a DoJ seizing a news media records.

3 investigations at the same time for Obama versus
ONE for Nixon..

Here is a chronology of events from a President 39 years ago who "Crank up AF1" for the last time!

Get an idea how much more stressing life will get for Obama before he too says "Crank up AF1 for Hawaii" for the last time after he resigns from all the stress!

Watergate: Brief Timeline Of Events

 

[healthmyths]

consider this..
June 3, 1973: John Dean has told Watergate investigators that he discussed the Watergate cover-up with President Nixon at least 35 times,

Now who will tell investigators that Obama was told multiple times about :

1) Benghazi but Obama did nothing..
2) IRS delaying conservative and speeding up liberal 501c applications, among other woes...
3) Told Obama about AP/FOX news DoJ wrongdoings.. but he did nothing...

 

[Wildman]

Nixon was a kindergartner compared to this fucking commie coward who is destroying this country one step at a time with the help of some traitors like Christie, some other RINOs and all the fucking democRATS in office from the senate down to your local councilman/woman.

see below \/............ \/

But equating the two is like concluding that babies are like poisonous snakes because some of them have rattles. Maybe information will someday emerge to confirm the conservative suspicion that Obama thuggishly subverted the IRS to win re-election, but so far, it falls in the realm of make-believe.

That all maybe true regarding the IRS scandal... BUT.. Nixon had only one Watergate...
Obama has Benghazi that is in full force with people asking just the simple question, WHERE was Obama after 5:00 meeting?
I mean Obama had NO problem showing his hands on in killing Osama... so where was he at Benhazi or is he ONLY the President for the victories???

Finally Nixon never went after the MSM as in AP and Fox... both of which were pursuing stories under the abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press. These same Obama administration had a big problem with the administration of President Richard M. Nixon that sought to ban the publication of the Pentagon Papers, classified government documents about the Vietnam War secretly copied by analyst Daniel Ellsberg.
And that was Nixon extent...
BUT Obama's DoJ has been accused of doing worse!

The Watergate investigation was not just about the break in at the hotel of the same name. The plumbers did the job on Ellsberg before the Watergate break in.

So the whole Benghazi scandal is now where the President was after he gave his commanders his orders?

Such attempted equivocations are making the GOP laughing stocks.

Watergate: Brief Timeline Of Events

 

[bitterlyclingin]

Obama is not facing both a Republican Senate and House and the press and media have been in a permanent fellatio state of mind regarding Obama since the 2004 DNC.

For the press, the Democratically controlled Senate, and the other Obamabots, what Dan Pfeiffer said on the Sunday talk shows a week ago goes without question. "The scandals are irrelevant and any laws Obama broke are irrelevant, too"

Someone should remind Mr Pfeiffer that the Allies hung most of the surviving members of the last government that believed, behaved, and acted on the same beliefs in the same manner very early one frosty October morning in 1946.

 

[regent]

Seems like Republicans are having trouble pinning a good scandal on Obama. We accept the idea that it is the job of the party out of power to dig up scandals about the party in power, and in particular the president. Presidents are easiest, congressmen more difficult and state politicians almost unknown to many citizens.
Our worst president, Harding, died before all his scandals emerged, and while historians caught him-it too late. Today we seem to remember Nixon's Watergate as a simple botched break-in. Perhaps Nixon's resignation was almost as good as Harding dying? Were Nixon's scandals too numerous and too complicated?
There are a number of books written about political scandals, but I wonder why do some scandals catch on and others just die?

 

[JakeStarkey]

No logical comparison exists between Watergate and Nutgate.

Here is the BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NIXON and Obama...

between the two which do you think received 85% of the donations by 1,160 of 1,353 Senior executives, on-air personalities, producers, reporters, editors, writers and other self-identifying employees of ABC, CBS and NBC ?

Further I know most of you Obama supporters are inferior in information sources and intelligence so you won't understand that if 85% of these news people donate money to a particular party or candidate-- do you think they would give the opponent /party equal coverage in their news content?

Here I'll make it simpler... 85% or 1,160 network news gave over $1 million to the Democrats/Obama in 2008.
This explains why 71% of the MSM stories about Romney were negative.

So comparing Nixon to Obama while there are 3 times the amount of scandals.. the partners in crime, i.e. the MSM is NOT as enthusiastic about
pursuing these 3 major scandals as they were i.e. Washington Post kept 2 reporters DAILY digging , deep throat came out to get Nixon...
But not Obama because the same source for the totally information shrift Obama supporters are downplaying, covering up and just not reporting!

So if you are NOT one of those ignorant Obama worshippers... maybe you can understand why these scandals may not have legs!

 

[MondoBongo]

That is not an accurate statement.

 

[Pete7469]

Nixon was despised by the media, all republicans are, even the RINOs are when the chips are down.

Most of the "journalists" are petty drones for a leftist propaganda ministry. They'll never allow their messiah or his minions to be held responsible for their thuggery.

Watergate: Brief Timeline Of Events

Of the 3 you listed, only 1 is a valid scandal.

If you deleted the IRS and Benghazi bullshit issues with:

• Obama's "kill lists"
• warrantless wire taps

Then you'd be absolutely right about his "woes" being bigger than Nixon's.

But keeping your list as it is, the answer is "no", they are not.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Obama is not in deep water at all. He is merely slogging through the swamp.

 

[NYcarbineer]

The current 'presidential scandals' are only 'presidential scandals' because the rightwing propaganda machine is calling them 'presidential scandals'...

...the same propaganda machine that told us for years that the president's birthplace was a scandal.

 

[regent]

The first Nixon's scandal that began with Helen Gahagan Douglas, then there was the side money and Nixon's famous Checkers speech. Checkers saved Nixon from being dumped from the ticket by Ike.
Nixon seemed to walk with the "I'm not a crook." type of scandal hanging over his head, or was that the press?

HOLDER WENT JUDGE SHOPPING TO OBTAIN FOX NEWS SUBPOENA

The revelation that two courts denied the secret subpoena before Lamberth finally agreed will damage the narrative that there was nothing extraordinary or out-of-bounds about Holder's attempt to delve into the private communications of Rosen and his employer.
