Things completely out of control of the President - the FEMA disaster under Bush or the recent terrorist attack in Libya - ends up with months of congressional hearings. Add in some hot spots - North Korea, Iran, Syria - and stir it up with some foreign governments (Russia now arming the Syrian government, Israel bombing Iran / Lebanon / Syria), toss in domestic problems not caused by the Oval Office (The IRS targeting political groups)... Heaven forbid should the President get a blow job in the Oval Office!
A good example of problems the President has little control over was Bush's FEMA disaster. Was that really Bush's fault? One out of hundreds of departments the President supposably has control over was unable to handle a massive disaster where a large city got slammed with a hurricane then got flooded? (I mean, who the fuck builds a city under sea level that is next to a fucking ocean in the first place?) Does each President come into office with their "own men" and do a complete review of each government agency and their policies and practices from the ground up? Did Obama when he entered office?

Just to point out a few.
1. Benghazi wasn't a terrorist attack on a "consulate" over a group of people pissed about some video. If you pay any attention to anything other than the government news networks you will find that it was a CIA front. Everyone there outside of 2 or 3 people were CIA. It's admitted Stevens was there to meet with foreign officials reguarding the transfer of weapons. Many non-US government officials have come out saying Stevens was a gun runner. The ex-Seal who was killed went on record via mainstream news that he was there to track weapons long before the incident. His father says he was there working for the CIA.
2. Bush appointed the Commissioner for the International Arabian Horse Association to run FEMA. How was he qualified for the position again? He wasn't, it was give your(or someone's) buddy a job day.
As far as their intentions and what do they know? Do you honestly believe they would be allowed to even get near such a position without being informed of things prior to that you and I likely don't won't to know about? Why has no President tried to investigate or preosecute prior Presidents?
Review each department? lol The reason they won;t let someone like Ron Paul get near the Presidency is because he would not only review but eliminate most departments. They want people who won't stir the pot. A yes man.
