Four breaking scandals in thus corrupt administration in a week, Benghazi, the HHS secretary extorting money from those she regulates, the IRS targeting conservative groups and now spying in the media, and it's Rush Limbaugh's fault Americans are skeptical of their government according to Obama.
Obama: Republicans are making Americans
We warned you, any libs ready to get your heads out of the sand yet?
Obama is 51 years late for a reality check.
Its even worse... Pro Publica... a leftist ProObama organizations was improperly and illegally given private and confidential details from 31 Conservative groups Tax return documents by Obama operatives working inside the IRS.
And they admit it themselves BEFORE it came out during an investigation.
Obama and the heads of the IRS need to go to jail... as well as any other person involved or that had knowledge of these crimes at the IRS.
IRS Office That Targeted Tea Party Also Disclosed Confidential Docs From Conservative Groups - ProPublica
I wonder how the lefties would feel if the IRS was handing out THEIR personal information from their tax returns to others.
Of course, it's Limbaugh's fault. Why wouldn't it be? Just because Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Levin and all those other awful conservative hosts wouldn't shut up and go along with the party line. Obama also forgot about all those grassroots, conservative Americans who didn't buy into it either. Darn them anyway. He had all the big city Liberal-Urbanites brainwashed and ready to fall in line but he just couldn't get those rural, countrified-Conservatives. Let's not forget those Patriots in the US Military who refused to "Stand down" and let other Americans die just because Obama wanted someone dead to hide his underhanded/black market, gun running schemes. And now, even more of those Honorable Military Personnel are standing up and telling the truth about Ben Gazi and other incidents. Poor Obama just can't seem to get everyone to quietly shut-up and do what he wants. But it's still Limbaugh's fault. LOL.
Sort of reminds me of file-gate... oh wait... the Clintonoids never used the info in the FBI files on their political opponents .Quote:

IRS Stalled Conservatives While Giving Liberals a Pass on Tax Exemptions
Wednesday, 15 May 2013 10:50 AM

Evidence is mounting that the Internal Revenue Service gave far better treatment to left-wing groups than those on the right, with data showing the agency approved dozens of liberal and progressive organizations as tax-exempt while leaving conservative groups hanging.
No tea party applications were approved in a 27-month period beginning February 2010. But numerous applications from liberal and progressive groups were given tax-exempt status during the same period, USA Today reported.
Some of those approved:
•Bus for Progress, New Jersey nonprofit organization whose mission is to support "progressive politicians with the courage to serve the people's interests and make tough choices." The group, which uses a red, white and blue bus to "drive the progressive change," was approved as a social-welfare group in April 2011.
•Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment, approved in September 2011. The group says it fights against corporate welfare and toward increasing the minimum wage.
•Progress Florida, which lobbies the Sunshine State's legislature to expand Medicaid under the provisions of Obamacare, and was approved in January 2011.
The groups, like the tea party organizations, sought tax reductions as social-welfare groups.
The details come at the same time that it was revealed that the IRS expedited tax-exempt status for a charity run by President Barack Obama's half brother, despite numerous questions about how it is run. The application from the Barack H. Obama Foundation was even backdated, The Daily Caller reports.
Rep. Bill Flores, R-Texas, said the IRS actions show how the Obama administration puts politics ahead of anything else. Last year, Flores filed a complaint after the IRS asked the Waco Tea Party for information that he said was "overreaching and impossible to comply with."
The IRS wanted transcripts of radio interviews, copies of social-media posts, and details on "close relationships" with political candidates as part of the process, claimed Flores, who says that when he asked questions, the agency failed to answer adequately.
"They did more than sidestep the issue," Flores said. "They flipped me the finger."
Lois Lerner, the IRS official responsible for granting tax-exemption status, has admitted the agency was mistaken to subject tea party groups to additional scrutiny and has apologized. But she denies rejecting groups based on ideology, and said some progressive groups also were selected for further scrutiny.
One such group is Action for a Progressive Future, which took 18 months to get approval, USA Today reported. Co-founder Jeff Cohen said he didn't mind answering intrusive questions, so long as they were fair.
"From my perspective, if the IRS can hold up legitimate tea-party applications today and get away with it, then who knows if progressive groups will be held up and specially scrutinized in a few years. It's utterly unacceptable, if that's what happened," he said.
IRS records, obtained by The Daily Caller, show Lerner signed papers granting tax-exempt status to the foundation run by Obama's half brother Abongo "Roy" Malik Obama.
She signed off on the organization's tax status in June 2011 -- right in the middle of the 27-month hiatus for tea-party groups -- and granted it retroactive status within a month of filing.
Action for a Progressive Future has faced legal issues over the past few years.
In the month before the foundation was granted tax-exempt status, the National Legal and Policy Center filed a complaint with the IRS, asking why the group was allowed to solicit tax-deductible contributions when it had not applied for a determination.
That's when Lerner gave it the retroactive exemption back to December 2008.
"The Obama Foundation raised money on its web page by
falsely claiming to be tax deductible. This bogus charity run by Malik had not even applied and yet subsequently got retroactive tax-deductible status," complained Ken Boehm, chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center. He called the attempt to raise money "common law fraud and potentially even federal mail fraud."
The Obama Foundation was set up ostensibly to help poor children in Kenya, where Roy Obama lives.
However, the Caller says, it has not registered in Virginia, where it is said to be based.
Lerner, a registered Democrat, has been slammed for the IRS handling of conservative
Groups, but her colleagues defend her, saying she acts "apolitically."
Larry Noble, FEC general counsel from 1987 to 2000, told The Daily Beast that Lerner "is really one of the more apolitical people I've met."
"That doesn't mean she doesn't have political views, but she really focuses on the job and what the rules are. She doesn't have an agenda."

According to Chris tingly legs Matthews (again) all of Obama's problems are due to the 10 or 20 percent of Americans that are white supremacists. No, really.
Matthews: "Right-Wing" Opposition To Obama Due To "Sense The White Race Must Rule" | RealClearPolitics
Yes those darn racists are behind the IRS scandal, Benghazi, snooping in the media, etc. Obama's policies, incompetence, hubris, etc. have nothing to do with it.
Chris Mattews suffers from terminal brain rot.
You righties cannot deny that minorities and woman are running from your message in vast numbers or that the young people are rejecting your message as well. Hate and paranoia are big turn offs to many people.
Yeah I see where they buy into the lies the left says about conservatives.
Gee... it was on May 5, 2013 President ZERO in a speech to his whorshippers said...
"You've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some seperate, sinister entity that's the root of all our problems...They'll warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices."
And since then the revalations of massive criminal activity by him and his flunkies have come out about the IRS targeting Concervatives... while backdating approval of his half brothers illegal operation 2 years after operating illegally in just 30 days, there are Conservative requests that took 27 months and some are still in limbo..
And the justice department without the proper legal authority grabbing phone record of congress and the AP. And yes the phones on capital hill in the press offices are owned by the house... not AP.
You wingers always make the mistake of pointing out everyone else's shortcomings while failing to acknowledge your own. That's why you are out of power and I doubt the lazy unwashed will clamor to you until you do.
Stop hollering and learn to talk.
Grow up... Obama has been caught in ILLEGAL activity... the sort of thing that demands jail time...Quote:

Criminal activity isn't a "shortcoming". It's a lack of ethics.. and a lack of respect for the Constitution, the law.. and the Country in general.
So now GBush was a misunderstood hero? Nobody buys that and you hollering doesn't make it true and who cares any way?
Wishful right wing thinking about all the Dems going to jail as criminals, or even the commander in chief being impeached. But the longer you holler and allow the repub to do nothing we all suffer as a country.
Tal, there isn't a lick of truth to that. The only one here refusing to acknowledge the reality unfolding before your eyes, which we've been trying point out for a long, long time, is you.Quote:

And actually... Compared the Democrat leadership... Bush actually IS a Saint.
That's your spin and you are entitled to it. I disagree. No spin, no hollering, no paranoia.
I think they can see and judge conservatives words and actions for themselves. What you think we are just sheeple that fall in line mindlessly?Quote:

Based on the fact that Obama thinks he's smarter than everyone else and he apparently can do no wrong in the eyes of his worshipers in spite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, coupled with the Dems strategy of keeping people dependent on the government, I'd say there's a high likelihood that a significant percentage of Democrats are sheeples that fall in line mindlessly.Quote:

Bloomberg News already debunked that claim with a list of left leaning groups being denied.

The 501(c)(4) designation was to apply only to: “Civic leagues or organizations not organized for profit but operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare.”
But a 1959 interpretation guideline written by the IRS says that: ”To be operated exclusively to promote social welfare, an organization must operate primarily to further the common good and general welfare…”

IT still isn't legally registered as it needs to be with the state of Virginia where it operates from.
What have the righties done with that interpretation since 1959?Quote:

From that article I cited --... the tax code must be enforced with the word “exclusively” so that no political organizations would ever be able to get 501(c)(4) status.Quote:

This conduct has included one or more of the following:

2.He misused the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Secret Service, and other executive personnel, in violation or disregard of the constitutional rights of citizens, by directing or authorizing such agencies or personnel to conduct or continue electronic surveillance or other investigations for purposes unrelated to national security, the enforcement of laws, or any other lawful function of his office; he did direct, authorize, or permit the use of information obtained thereby for purposes unrelated to national security, the enforcement of laws, or any other lawful function of his office; and he did direct the concealment of certain records made by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of electronic surveillance.
3.He has, acting personally and through his subordinates and agents, in violation or disregard of the constitutional rights of citizens, authorized and permitted to be maintained a secret investigative unit within the office of the President, financed in part with money derived from campaign contributions, which unlawfully utilized the resources of the Central Intelligence Agency, engaged in covert and unlawful activities, and attempted to prejudice the constitutional right of an accused to a fair trial.
4.He has failed to take care that the laws were faithfully executed by failing to act when he knew or had reason to know that his close subordinates endeavoured to impede and frustrate lawful inquiries by duly constituted executive, judicial and legislative entities concerning the unlawful entry into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee, and the cover-up thereof, and concerning other unlawful activities including those relating to the confirmation of Richard Kleindienst as Attorney General of the United States, the electronic surveillance of private citizens, the break-in into the offices of Dr. Lewis Fielding, and the campaign financing practices of the Committee to Re-elect the President.
5.In disregard of the rule of law, he knowingly misused the executive power by interfering with agencies of the executive branch, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Criminal Division, and the Office of Watergate Special Prosecution Force, of the Department of Justice, and the Central Intelligence Agency, in violation of his duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
In all of this, Richard M. Nixon has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore Richard M. Nixon, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.
