Anonymous writes "We are seeing the exposure of the massive amount of lies the Obama administration has told the people from Benghazi to the IRS and more. There were twelve versions of the story regarding Benghazi which went basically from the truth to fiction to cover their butts. Obama, Hillary, Rice and the rest knew they were lying but kept on doing it because they were afraid that the truth was worse, that is, that Obama's campaign to convince everyone that the terrorists were beaten since Osama was dead.

Then we have the administration secretly investigating the media, supposedly their friends except for Fox, and no one knew anything about it. The same with the IRS illegal activity. Supposedly no one in the White House knew anything about that crime until we found out that the the President's lawyer was told and we're to believe that the President wasn't informed. Obama apparently spends a great deal of time not knowing what is going on around him. This can lead one to conclude that he is either incompetent or lying. There is far more to these scandals which is evidenced by the constantly changing stories coming from the White House and other parts of the administration.

Not long ago someone on the emperor's site listed the attacks against our embassies and consulates under Bush trying to minimize the disaster that was Benghazi. There is a great difference between those attacks and Benghazi. Those attacks were bombings such as the ones in Benghazi several months before the attack. it is very difficult to prevent a bombing attack by determined terrorists but the final attack in benghazi was different.

Security at the facilities in Benghazi were reduced and repeated requests for increasing security were denied by the Obama administration. The claim that budget cuts by Republicans were responsible for this is fiction as was testified to in Congress. The Obama administration had plenty of flexibility to maintain appropriate security and to increase it during this critical time, 9/11. The attack against our Benghazi facilities involved attacking people and took some nine hours from beginning to end. Support personnel were available in Tripoli but were told to "stand down." Other support personal and equipment were available in Italy but were never activated or were also told to "stand down." Only the President can order them to "stand down" so who besides him gave that order? Claims that they didn't know what was going on and therefore didn't want to send personnel into harms was is a crock as that is their job.

Benghazi is a case of criminal negligence resulting from political policy decisions in an effort to fool the people into believing that the President's policies are working. The resulting coverup, as usual, makes the entire episode worse for the loss of confidence in the government.

Add to that the loss of confidence brought about by the other scandals and you can see why big government is to be avoided. The bigger the government the bigger the bureaucracy and the less able it is to deal with reality. In the end, the captains of each ship (department) are responsible for what transpires in their department whether they knew about it or not and the the admiral (President) of the fleet is responsible for the actions or inactions of each captain under his command.
