The first question for White House spokesman Jay Carney at Tuesday's press briefing went right to the heart of the growing crisis facing President Obama:
In the matters of the Benghazi terror attack, the IRS targeting conservative groups, the Justice Department going after AP phone records, "…doesn't responsibility for setting tone, setting direction ultimately rest with the president?"
That question of "where the buck stops" harkens back to another Democrat who occupied the Oval Office some 60 years ago, "Give 'em Hell" Harry Truman but the answer is as relevant today.
Benghazi may not be "Obama's Watergate," as Sen. Lindsay Graham has called it, but what we have is an administration that is adrift and leaking more controversy and unanswered questions every day.
