Carl Bernstein 'Can't Imagine' Obama Involved In IRS Scandal
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/13/2013 5:57:24 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

When it comes to investigative reporters, how do you change a bulldog into a lapdog? Easy: change the occupant of the Oval Office from a Republican into a Democrat.

Witness Carl Bernstein's pitiful performance on today's Morning Joe. The man who teamed with Bob Woodward to bring down Richard Nixon now credulously claims that he "can't imagine" that President Obama is possibly involved in the IRS targeting of conservative groups. Bernstein instead blames the "hyper-partisanship" in Washington. Yeah, cause politics were so kumbaya in 1972, Carl.

I'm with you MrB, but as my distrust of this administration continues to grow and grow, I can't help but wonder why this IRS information is being released right now? Cover to take our eyes off Benghazi? Obama could be in real trouble with the Benghazi cover-up and I can certainly see him and his administration trying to change subjects.

"Carl Bernstein says he’d be “very surprised” and “can’t imagine” that Obama is involved in IRS scandal." Later, Ray Charles was quoted as saying, "are you kidding me" even I could see the IRS was targeting the Tea Party."

Obama used sealed court records to win his senate seat. The pattern for not following the law goes way back with this guy.

Seems like Carl has lost his curiosity, or his nerve.

I thought he had been dead for decades.

Richard Nixon was brought down by “Deep Throat”.

Bill Clinton was almost brought down by almost the same problem.

Barack Obama? Can’t imagine that he’s involved in a scandal. It is pathetic how the fear of being called racist is a shield for today’s massive corruption - and probably for treason too.

This sounds familiar.

Mary Mitchell(?): [para]”Mayor Daley couldn’t possibly be involved with the Hired Truck scandal. It must be a subordinate trying to make brownie-points with some alderman’s constituents.”

That’s just how it’s done in Chicago. Ask John Kass.

Can’t imagine what Henry II meant by “”Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?”, either.

The Clintons did the same thing (against individuals) and they were impeached, although not for this.

Yep ... Also Nixon was shrewd and smart unlike the Kenyan. Heck Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter were smart. I have yet to see Obama do anything that indicated he was clever or smart. All skin and no meat.

Here’s another ‘charmer’ for the idiot to consider - he probably won’t ‘believe’ this one either....

Why would low level employees risk their jobs by doing this on their own. They got orders from high up the chain and thought they would never be caught. Obamas arrogance is so huge nothing is done without him waving his scepter over it.

I hear the Little Emperor will be on at 11:15 ET to say he knew nothing about it, among other lies. The questions are under the chairs of the WH Press Corp so we’ll see just how they question their boss today.

Carl isn't as pretty as Sally Sweetlies, but they are on the same team.

Carl pines for the good old days when there was always a convenient republican to put the blame on.

If responded to this story elsewhere as follows; as bad as this is, I believe it’s being put out to distract us from the Bengazi slaughter. Obama can fire a few IRS employees and leave Hillary untouched. As serious as this is, no one died and the democrats can make it go away by destroying a few sacrificial lambs.

Why not? He imagined Nixon involved in one...

But what if he was, Carl? What if your assessment of his character is totally wrong? If Obama was involved, what should the outcome be?

We need to get the progs on record.
