I don't recall him ever mentioning the IRS or the NSA while campaigning.

But these are non stories.
The IRS targeted a group of people that have a history of lieing and hiding funds - They did their job. This is exactly what the IRS is tasked to do.
The NSA? This is a non story too. The NSA has been doing this for years - it started under Bush, not Obama; It's unlikely that Obama knew much about it. And on top of all of this, NOTHING the NSA has done has proven to be illegal.
Benghazi? I still don't understand what the issue is here? Is it because we failed to act quick enough? (We could have sent in a company of US Marines into a unknown combat situation, invading another country, and potentially starting a war.) Or was it that the White House didn't want to flame the fires by calling this a terrorist attack before having all of the information? Either way it's a non story.
All three of these - and the fast & furious bullshit - is nothing more than Republicans trying to make the President look bad.
Did Obama fail on some items? Is Obamacare turning out to be horrible? Sure, sure. That's the life of politics. But it could be a lot worse - We are be running with 12% unemployment and a shrinking economy....
Take a look at the past six years - Are we better off or worse off? The answer is pretty obvious.
