I doubt that Obama has any blood on his hands with this. Looks like the IRS was just a loose cannon and needs to be overhauled. But in the meantime in other news....Justice Department spys on AP by recording their private phone conversations and intercepts emails.....just keeps on given do it not? What does this administration think it will gain by going against the very entity that got him elected ...twice?

Nixon's "plumbers" were also "rogue workers" who took on themselves to break into the DNC.

Sic him boys! Git him!

Whatever... Have at it. Republicans have been trying to assign every screw up that happens in gov't to Obama, regardless of how little involvement he has in it. This is no different. Republicans will not change their tactics, and the rest of America will continue to ignore them, especially when the inevitable "impeachment" talks start.

Face it Republicans: you've lost all credibility when criticizing Obama. The vast majority of people don't have the time or inclination to see how (in)accurate your claims are. They're just going to look at your track record, see that you're 0-for-Umpteen, and write off whatever you're saying happened.

Obama received an honorary law degree? And an honorary presidency, two terms in a row, voted in by the people of the U.S.?

The PJ Tatler » White House Counsel Knew in April of IRS’s Targeting of Conservatives

but noooooo, Obama had no idea until last Friday. Just like he had no idea Benghazi lacked security, and he had no idea DOJ secretly went after AP records, and no idea Fast and Furious happened. This man has to go!!!!!!

All of this deflecting is getting rediculous!

More deflection. You come back with a direct call-out on deflection, with more deflection!

Who made you the keeper of the threads?

How many threads would you limit us to on any given topic?

Why do progressives feel the need to become the dialogue police when the conversation isn't going as they'd like it to?

I'd say 12 threads reflects the anger towards the IRS, and quite justifiably. Moreover, Obama is just denying any knowledge (plausible deniability) of the events, just as he has Benghazi and Gun Walking.

Since when did liberals start defending the IRS? When it was conservatives who the IRS targeted, making it all good? More proof that a progressive will sacrifice EVERY PROTECTION for their nonsensical ideology of big brother bliss.

Paranoia, cover ups, secret meetings with the press, general incompetence. Obama is right out of Dr. Strangelove.
