He's always funny......but I have already stated that what the IRS did was wrong. I also believe the Supreme Court was wrong about the 501(c)(4) organizations,.....but it's the law, which makes their applications legal. I do think they should be scrutinizing all these groups....but now they have seriously crippled their ability to do anything.
No one here, that I have seen, is claiming that this isn't going to come back on Obama, all of it, and it should. I don't think he is micro-managing all these organizations and what they are doing....but they all work for him and the buck does stop on his desk. I do wonder, however, how you can all so blindly follow the Republican congress critters lead without once questioning both their motives and their tactics.......do you really think that politics isn't behind a lot of this? The allegations are serious enough, and need to be investigated......so why do the Republicans have to manufacture more stuff? that just makes them look worse, when this is their golden opportunity to look good.....or maybe Republicans are adverse to looking good?
Perhaps there is a repeating theme and some substance to ALL of the issues conservatives have brought fourth here.
All of these issues were taking place before the election.
Yet the information was withheld from the American public.
Do you really believe that the election would not have had a different outcome had the truth been known before November, 2012?
Do you really believe that this was fair to the electorate?

WASHINGTON -- In February 2010, the Champaign Tea Party in Illinois received approval of its tax-exempt status from the IRS in 90 days, no questions asked.
That was the month before the Internal Revenue Service started singling out Tea Party groups for special treatment. There wouldn't be another Tea Party application approved for 27 months.
In that time, the IRS approved perhaps dozens of applications from similar liberal and progressive groups, a USA TODAY review of IRS data shows

Good point. Sad that the press spent more time discussing Romney's malaprops than Obama's incompetent management style.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Rick... Do you even read what I post? How many times do I have to post that yes, this was wrong, and yes there was partisan politics at play......what I dont know is how high up this goes (and neither do you). I do hope you are not buying into the notion that this had never happened before by the IRS. The IRS has a lot of power, always has, and is as easily manipulated by Congress as it is by an administration, it's time to look into their practices.... present and past.
