Obama has had a brief respite in the IRS scandals while congress is "gearing up" with four investigations into illegal activities by the federal agency.

Eventually, someone will talk to avoid personal criminal prosecution and reveal the man who ordered the investigations.

Yeah...just like benghazi was supposed to "take Obama down," or the scandal over Obama's birth certificate, or Solyndra, or Fast & Furious, or the Sestak “bribe," or Alleged national security leaks from Obama White House, or Work permits for immigrants under 30.

It is like conservatives can't exist without a scandal that is Obama's next Watergate. Like facing a world without Obama's possible imminent removal from office is so depressing that they make up anything to keep from facing that bleak existence. It's long past the point of lunacy, like trying to repeal Obamacare 37 times, that people do the same thing over and over and expect different results.

It's a bunch of people crying "Obama is falling" that never happens. The funny part is how this is working against them. Even if Obama did something that was equivalent to Watergate, all these conservatives that cried wolf over the last number of years have so desensitized people to their wild claims no one would believe them.

Maybe all these people screaming about the next Obama scandal are the real true zealous Obama supporters that are throwing everything at Obama and desensitizing the public to these scandals, while making sure any real scandal would be drowned out by all the fake ones. With the added bonus of making those people who scream scandal look completely out of their minds.

The focus is on the witch hunt instead of reforming the tax code.

Eliminate 501 (c) 4 and any future opportunity to profile. It's not possible to objectively separate social vs. political welfare, regardless of party.

113 Bills on Religion
73 Bills on Family Relationships
36 Bills on Marriage
72 Bills on Firearms
604 Bills on Taxation
437 Bills on Govt Investigations

Bills attempted and failed to be passed even by the GOP:
33 attempts to Defund Obamacare.....Failed
15 attempts to Cut Funding for Planned Parenthood......Failed
3 Attempts to Cut Funding for VA Hospitals.......Failed.

GOP blocked bills:
Blocked bill to aid Small Business
Blocked Unemployment extension
Blocked Bank Reform Bills
Blocked Campaign Finance Reform and open Contributions Law
Blocked MULTIPLE Jobs Bills
Blocked Infrastructure Bill
Blocked Ending Tax Breaks for companies that Outsource Jobs
Blocked Wall Street Reform
Blocked Energy Legislation
Blocked Mine Safety Bill
Blocked Oil Spill Liability Cap increase
Blocked Bill to lower Oil Company Tax Breaks
Blocked Bill to impose charging American Oil Companies on Oil achieved in the Gulf

Number of TRUE Jobs Bills even allowed to come to a vote in the House....NONE.

Isn't it hard to do witch hunts and create jobs bills? We see you're actually not "laser focused", me thinks the laser is broken.

Haven't seen it mentioned but Issa mentioned the word immunity right before dismissing Lerner after she took the fifth. It's only a matter of time.

Whether or not this will make it to Obama is speculation but this isn't anything like those other investigations. This has teeth and those teeth are bipartisan. Only the extreme left doesn't seem to grasp the enormity of what has happened here.

There will be people going to jail over this and how far up the chain that goes remains to be seen.

I agree. There will be deals cut for immunity from prosecution to "roll over" on those responsible.

The libs, of course, want to dismiss everything and are perfectly fine with ignoring the rule of law for the benefit of one man. Gee.................... that sounds a lot like fascism.
