The biggest problem with the Obama admin, imo...

To clarify I am talking about the NSA program startes by Cheney, not the whole NSA.

Is the lack of honesty. Only because he kind of ran on it. They promoted a more open presidency yet we haven't gotten that. Sure we have Whitehouse.gov yet let's be honest, that full of propaganda. Let's take a look at some examples.

Benghazi - They could have just said, look we were in an election and we didn't want the president to seem like crap on foreign policy. Maybe not exactly how it should have been phrased but it's the most logical truth. I feel like in the end Americans would have accepted that. Not the committed right wing, but they aint voting for Obama.

IRS - Should have come out super strong here and should have seen some heads roll. Obama should have been outraged on this one and should have immediately fired Lerner immediately. This imo, was a despicable abuse of power.

Obamacare screwups. Should have been more honest and should have gone after his own party here. They were shooting for the moon and it was unconstitutional imo. Should have been more honest and open about single payer system. Here are the positives and here are the negatives.

Gun control. Same thing. No real reason to ban quasi assualt weapons. Hand guns are just as deadly in the end. Should have been more honest about the statistics.

Obama watching the AP: Yeah you forgot about this one and yet it happened. Questionable at best. Were they ever honest here?

Fast and Furious: We messed up. That's it. That's all I want to hear. I get what they were doing, but just admit it didn't work out. This is an honest and open admin, right?

Snowden: They are still fumbling this one. Sometimes I think I think I can come up with a better defense.

I agree on most of this.

Someone dropped the ball on Benghazi, a proper investigation needs to be done. However, I'm sick of one side desperately trying to turn it into a 9/11 style event. Perhaps it's just craphole Fox News that makes it seem that way. Everywhere I go at work, the breakroom, the cafeteria, patient rooms, Fox is everywhere, slowly sucking out brain cells with their constant fake ass coverage and argumentative talking points. I wish they (and all cable news) would STFU and deliver perceived facts and leave it alone. Americans are seriously brainwashed with 24 hour news they don't need. I hate when I visit friends homes and they are watching it like it's fun, or entertaining. Wish I could vomit on their TV's. Sorry guys, I'll vote on the right, but I just can't stand the right's media style, save Chris Wallace and Shep Smith who seem to be decent human beings.

Anyway, unfortunately in this age of politicians being owned as mascots by big corporate sponsors, I fear Presidents and their admins will never get better. Duh.

I voted McCain and Romney, but hoped Obama wouldn't have this much trouble. I gave him more benefit of the doubt than I gave Bush & Co, showing my bias in the process.
