The Society of Perpetual Outrageous Outrage’s most recent focus has fallen on anyone who mentions the Benghazi attack in a fundraising effort. The consensus determined that mentioning the attack that killed four Americans in the context of raising funds for political organizations was just unseemly, especially if Republicans who want answers on the entire arc of failure are doing the fundraising. That just proves, the SPOO argues, that the probe into Benghazi is just a political charade designed to boost the base.

By the same token, then, does fundraising off of Benghazi similarly discredit the administration’s motives in trying to shut down the investigation? Barack Obama spoke last night at a $10,000-a-plate DCCC fundraiser to urge donors to put Democrats back in charge — with an explicit plea to end the Benghazi probe Republicans have launched:
Link: Obama fundraising off of Benghazi too? « Hot Air

Well, we've had to hear the faux outrage from our friends on the left about the GOP fundraising off of Benghazi. I happen to agree with Trey Gowdy and others in the Republican Party that there are other things better suited to raise money.

Now, King Obama is doing the exact same thing decried by his Democrat cheerleaders. Shocking, I know.

Yes, he should be fundraising to buy the elections based on Obamacare success stories or the faux war on women instead.

Ah, the media propaganda machine is doing its duty as they mask behavior that puts the dems and obama in a bad light.

A whitehouse gathering that included spouses and siblings would be like a media professional conference with major outlets, "all in the family".
