Do these Benghazi hearings have anyone else pissed off? [View all]

I am! Just another shameless attempt by the Republicans to bring down this President. Thankfully, people aren't buying it. Yes, it is a tragedy and, yes, mistakes may have been made, but it is ridiculous to lay the blame on Obama. I just think this is an attempt to undermine his Presidency and to besmirch Hillary Clinton in order to hurt her chances should she choose to run in 2016. What would they prefer, another useless Mideast war? Disgusting.
