I don't know what media you are watching, but I haven't heard anyone give a pass to Hilary.  Ben Carson is a pathological liar, as is Hilary.  But I don't see anyone giving them passes. And given all the things that have been said about Obama, I don't think you can say he has been given any kind of pass for the last 7 years, particularly by the conservative media.

But the point is this, if you go into the public arena, you've got to expect the lions.  You are going to be scrutinized, any thing you have ever publicly written or said  is going to be back to bite you.  If you lie, people are going to verify and confront you.  You seriously cannot say that Obama has not been picked apart.  And the more serious contender you are the worse it is going to be.

As far as I'm concerned, if Ben Carson is lying about trival things, I wonder what else he is lying about or hiding.  He's a neurosurgeon, so whether or not he was offered a "scholarship" to West Point is hardly important.  And if he tried to stab someone or hit his mother with a hammer, then his basic sanity is in question.
