President more interested in votes than American lives

How incredible is this situation on Benghazi? Watergate was a wiretapping situation that resulted in our president resigning after articles of impeachment were filed, yet we have Americans killed/injured in a clear cover-up that mainstream media shows as no big deal. All Americans know that President Obama and his liberal team sent the message to not get anywhere near this topic of a terrorist attack and forget about responding to save these Americans so close to the presidential election - an American president who is more interested in votes than American lives.
We still do not know what/where/how Obama was involved in this and yet two weeks after this incident, in a UN speech Obama gave, he mentions the word “video” six times.
We have a main stream media system in place that cuts/paste/selectively shows what they want Americans to see. No different from China/Iran/North Korea. We have a president who chooses his moments to garner political votes - flying Sandy Hook parents on Air Force One, calling gay NBA players within 24 hours of the announcement, but will not tell America his involvement in abandoning Americans in Benghazi.
