WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama learned on Monday what can happen to presidents caught up in allegations of scandal: they have to address them instead of anything else.

It happened when the president had to interrupt his news conference with Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain to answer questions about the widening investigation into the Benghazi attacks in Libya and the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of Tea Party and other conservative groups.

By the end of the day he was facing a third major problem when the Associated Press said the Department of Justice had secretly seized some of its reporters' phone records last year.

It is all leading to comparisons with the second term of President Bill Clinton, in which his agenda was severely disrupted by the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Obama, unlike Clinton, has not been accused of personal misconduct. But his ability to steer the Washington "conversation" could be compromised.

Uh, no one is comparing this to Clinton. EVERYONE, including some Rats, are making references to NIXON. Clinton didn't have articles of impeachment citing the abuse of the IRS. Nixon did in Article 2 paragraph 1.

It won't cut into his "governing" time, but it might cut into his golf, fundraising, vacation time.

Il Douche doesn't govern. He plays golf.
