Benghazi bungled--propagandacrats misled citizens-- change talking points 12 times. People die. White House denies knowledge. Lower-level operatives blamed. IRS intimidates, targets, and audits conservative opposition groups. White House denies knowledge. Lower-level operatives blamed. Government snoopers secretly seize phone records of 100 journalists to locate their sources. White House denies knowledge. Lower-level operatives blamed. AFT smuggles guns to Mexican drug lords. White House denies knowledge. Attorney General held in contempt of Congress for with ``holdering'' evidence. Lower-level operatives blamed. Meanwhile, the President self-righteously proclaims citizens should trust his government. Americans distrust and fear government, especially the ``Infernal Revenue Service,'' because the President professes ignorance of actions of lower-level malcontents, then doesn't adequately hold them accountable. Heads need to roll. People need to be fired. Others need to go to the jailhouse. That's what Americans expect of the so-called most transparent administration in history. Then this administration that is incredible with words can earn credibility with its deeds. And that's just the way it is. ____________________
