re: #2 Obdicut

I cannot remember for the life of me a time when, after a tragedy like this, one political party savagely attacked the president based on absolutely nothing. It seems unprecedented to me.

How Many GOP Voters Harping on Benghazi Know There were 11 Such Attacks in Eight Years Before Obama?

It’s also unprecedented. Has a major political party ever used something like a terrorist attack on a US Embassy as a political football, and use it to gain political power? Such a thing used to be unthinkable. Even after the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington in 2001, we saw Bush’s approval ratings go into the 90s, and everyone supported the guy. That is how you react to a national tragedy.
