As media controversy about the Benghazi attack swirls across official Washington and throughout major media, President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should consider why so many in mainstream media have joined the conservative press in the stampeding herd that now puts them on the defensive. The GOP has begun a full-court press to make Obama a lame-duck president, and Republicans have begun their inevitable political war against Clinton for the 2016 campaign. Real but not scandalous mistakes in the original managing of the Benghazi aftermath, coupled with message mismanagement, have exaggerated an atmosphere of scandal that is given credence even by mainstream media insiders who now breathlessly join the attacking herd.

Atmosphere of scandal by the republicans? I should be speechless!

Organizing for Action is fine, but what is needed, as well, is support for media structures similar to Drudge, state party-building outside of Washington and grassroots movements that transcend any one president at any given moment.
I think that Obama is filling his piggy bank for his time out of office. I don't think he is trying to build a structure that will further the party for decades to come. He is engineering our collapse.
