Wow, that was fast.
The news broke about the Gen. Petraeus scandal and now a torrent of news stories have come out since.
Meanwhile, over 2 months ago, 4 Americans were killed in Benghazi and the story of what really was going on before, during and after the attack still remains somewhat opaque such that Sen. McCain has called for a Congressional inquiry which probably won't happen because everyone is focused on the Petraeus scandal and the Fiscal Cliff.
The media likes to think of itself as the watchdog of those in power and revealers of the truth but here is an example where they go after the stories they like: sex and generals instead of why there are dead diplomats.
Some used to call Reagan the Teflon President but I think these past four years have shown the Obama should have that title.
UPDATE: Heard that President Obama will be holding a press conference. Will be interesting to see how dogged the questioning will be on the various topics.
PS: Of course, the timing of everything does feed into the perception of cover-up.
