There are at the moment a number of exaggerated, even breathless
comparisons between President Obama's Benghazi/IRS/Associated Press
controversies and President Nixon's Watergate scandal in 1973.
Part of that narrative is driven by the fact that the media like to associate controversies with anniversaries. Part is driven by partisan politics. And part is driven by overreach, presidential politics, incompetence, targeted "justice," and a seeming cover-up by certain people within our government. Will these controversies rise to the level of Watergate with regard to media interest and the media vilification of a White House and a president? Not even close.
