Now here is an argument I can get behind. It was noted that the thing with the IRS and eavesdropping scandals were going to have many repercussions but I certainly never saw this one coming.

I say we all get behind the idea that the government is simply too large to control.

The government is simply too vast for the President Obama to keep track of all the wrongdoing taking place on his watch, his former senior adviser, David Axelrod, told MSNBC. “Part of being president is there’s so much beneath you that you can’t know because the government is so vast,” he explained.

An amusing argument, considering the source.

They need to make up their mind. Obama wants a bigger government and how ironic, uses the IRS to collect even more taxes to pay for it.

Alelrod just confirmed that big government won't work. If the IRS can not handle it's job in a non partisan way how will they handle Obamacare.

Not only Obama. All the leaders had no clue.

Hillary didn't know what the State Dept did.
Holder doesn't know what the DOJ is doing.
The head of the tax exempt dept at the IRS didn't know her workers targeted right and religious groups.

Nobody knows what the hell is going on in their depts and are very proud about admitting their ignorance.


You folks just wait until you have issues with your Obamacare insurance and have to deal with these people to get it fixed.
You'll be dead before they get to you.

The IRS is the tyrant that Obama wants us to trust.

Obama gave the commencement speech to the graduating class. In his speech, he included the below words:

“Still, you’ll hear voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s the root of all our problems, even as they do their best to gum up the works; or that tyranny always lurks just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave, creative, unique experiment in self-rule is just a sham with which we can’t be trusted.”

Here’s a novel idea: If the federal bureaucracy is “too vast” for the President to manage, wouldn’t it make sense to shrink the government rather than grow it? Food for thought
