Of recent administration absolutely. I asked the question because no one can deny what a train wreck this administration has been. I was just wondering if its the worst ever? Maybe another in the distant past was worse.

Not even the worst this century.

1. Paul Bremer was unable to account for the $12 billion of his budget as the head of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq.

2. Armstrong Williams received $240,000 to promote No Cild Left a Behind in his column. Other journalists were also secretly paid to promote agendas.

3. The US Attorney firings when the WH was slapped with improper political shenanigans.

4.. NSA warranties spying, difference with now is this an actual statute that allows it. Back then there was none.

5. Jack Abramoff and 21 convictions or guilty pleas including two in the White House.

6. 9/11 commission with Bush stalling for a year then refusing to testify under oath and refusing to appear without Cheney at his side.

7. Abu Ghraib

8. Scooter Libby and the subsequent commutation.

9. "we know where the weapons are"

10. Bin Laden determined to attack in the US, while Bush cleared brush for 30 days in Crawford.

11. Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch.

12. Patient neglect at Walter Reed.

13. Halliburton no bid contracts.

14. Black sites and Rendition

15. Kyle Foggo, the no 3 guy in the CIA indicted by one of the US attys fired, two days before she was fired. Pled guilty.

16. Bush's own interpretation of his power using Executive Orders including ordering torture and warrant less tapping as well as his extensive us of signing statements, both actions far, exceeding what Obama has done,

I could go on but it's Sunday,

So, other than the IRS (which is incredibly frightening), none of this concerns you?

I will be the first to admit, in my opinion the Republicans were very petty in their attacks on President Clinton. But I do not see the same spirit towards President Obama. There are some serious concerns. And they are simply being ignored.
I don't see the connection to any "scandal" on Benghazi. It was a terrible attack, but all of the outrage appears to be over the talking points reiterated by the UN Ambassador or Sunday morning talk shows.

Fast and Furious was a stupid program but was one that was started under the previous admin. Yes, Holder should have shut it down right away, but I don't consider that he didn't to be some high crime.

Anything I missed as far as scandals go?

Guess so...

If they think that's the same they must think the Malaysian Airliner that crashed is the same as your typical Airliner landing on schedule.
