It has been a rather confusing week for President Obama. His reactions to all the scandals going on is eerily reminiscent of Hitler in the bunker. (OK, a bit of an exaggeration.)
As much as I like Fox's Juan Williams, yesterday was not his best moment as he tried to defend President Obama's appointment of Eric Holder to investigate the DOJ warrants and subpoenas for reporters' communications-including the warrant targeted at Fox's James Rosen-which Holder signed off on. At the below link, you can watch Williams' exchange with an incredulous Brit Hume.

If not mistaken, didn't Hitler appoint Hermann Goering to lead the investigation into the Reichstag fire in 1933?
Excellent choice since it was probably Goering's plan in the first place.*
*A feeble-minded young Dutch communist named Marinus van der Lubbe was arrested inside the building, quickly tried and executed. Though never completely solved, the fire was thought to be the idea of Goering and Goebbels to eliminate political opposition. The communists were blamed.
Well, that's pretty much how Obama handles scandals in his administration. He lets everybody investigate themselves and get back to him within 30 days.
That brings me to the President's historic speech a few days ago -at least in the opinion of that wise old sage of the media, Chris Hayes.
Obama not only begged Congress to stop him before he orders another drone attack, he also requested they shut down Gitmo (He must have recused himself.)
"I therefore ask that the Reichstag shut down Dachau, which has been an embarrassment for Germany in the eyes of the world. We have a much better new facility at Buchenwald.
As to those reports of civil rights abuses, Reichsminister Himmler shares my concern. He will conduct a thorough investigation into these allegations and report back to me in 1946."
Oh no! Juan Williams isn't following Gary's Party Line! What will Gary do for an icon to take down Chris Matthews now?
