I expect the administration to be covering up embarrassing information. That's par for the course.

What I'm constantly amazed at is how the media ignores the issue.

On 9/11/2001, George Bush hesitated a few minutes while events were unfolding and he was in front of a class of school children. The press explored every second of the event and Bush was lambasted for just sitting there. Fair enough.

On 9/11/2012, (from what little we know) Obama got one briefing in the early evening on what was happening, gave no orders to mobilize support for those under attack (which was apparently critical), went to bed and didn't check on status until the next morning.

If George Bush had been that lax in handling something, Michael Moore would have had a movie that featured it as a key failing, ABC, NBC, and CNN would be all over it as a major political failing - with story after story and maybe a couple of specials.

When the press basically becomes a mouthpiece for a particular administration or party, we're all in big trouble. The potential iceberg under the water becomes larger and larger.
