Although the Obama administration has been hit by three scandals in a matter of days new revelations about Benghazi, the Internal Revenue Service targeting conservative groups, and the Justice Department seizing Associated Press phone records the White House scoffed at comparing President Barack Obama with President Richard Nixon.
At Tuesdays White House press briefing a reporter asked, President Obama has been compared to President Nixon. How does he feel about that?
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said he did not have a reaction from the president to relay on that matter, but also dismissed the premise of the question.
I can tell you, people who make those kinds of comparisons need to check their history, Carney said.

The president feels very strongly about that. You heard him address that yesterday.

There were never any horses in the barn to begin with!
They are right. Nixon was a far better man having the courage to resign instead of dragging his party and country though the mud.
“I am not a Nixon.”
your right, there is no comparison between Nixon minor crimes to fight back the commie infiltration of America, and Obama’s anti American power hungry murder spree!
Nobody’s Laugh-In these days.
I agree!Richard Nixon was an ANGEL;Obongo is The DEVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That said, nobody died at Watergate.
Nixon was competent.
Dear Scumbag,
It was Emperor Zero and Hillary the Great who politicized this tragedy before it even became a tragedy. In fact the reason it is a tragedy is because they politicized the attack by refusing to come to the aid of Americans under attack. Two brave Americans defied their orders and gave their lives protecting dozens of Americans.
Nixon was grade school compared to Obama......
No kidding. Nixon was a piker.
Obama: “Your President is not a crook.”
