Is the IRS scandal about to explode in Obama's Face?
Examiner.com ^ | 7/19/2013 | Steven H Ahle

Posted on 07/20/2013 5:08:04 AM PDT by Red Statements

Newly released information shows a very close relationship between President Obama and his man at the IRS, who delayed the Tea party applications. William Wilkins is a long time donor to the democratic party and once fought a case against the IRS in which he defended Jerimiah Wright and the Trinity Church in 2008.

Wilkins was a registered lobbyist for Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr since 1988, and was also a member of the Tax Practice Group, where he counseled nonprofits on compliance. As a lobbyist, he spread money around to both republicans and democrats, but Wilkins worked for the democrats from 1981 to 1988 as democratic counsel for the Senate Finance Committee.

No.

It takes someone to stand up and PROSECUTE.

We have nobody willing to do that.

Besides, the IRS ‘thing’ was AGES ago, newswise, wasn’t it???
Ancient history!

They’re sittin’ on powder keg of many tyranny actions... thus the DemWits and their media “Lewinskis” are doing their damn best to keep pouring “Trayvon water” on this and other Obama kindling.

No. The only thing that might overcome the MSM’s protective cordon around the affirmative action clown president is the voice of the people and far too many people aren't aware enough to sense any particular concern.

No, what WILL take down this pretender (and us as well) is a Benghazi that doesn't go away. A crisis ongoing that falls to the president to manage and from which he cannot hide.

Of all the leaders in the world OURS has never been in any sense, tempered, tested or tried. He has overcome no resistance to achieve anything. There has been in his ENTIRE LIFE no process of forging internal resources or Leadership skills. Events will reveal this pretender before the end of his second term.

Web Hubble?

and on the flip side

Vince Foster?

It is dangerous to be “near” that kind of power (and evil).

Don’t kid yourself (you know better too) but Hillary is as evil as Obozo, a pretty big order.

From your mouth to God’s ear (I know he does not need to hear it, he already knows)

Bingo.
Because of that he can get away with anything.
Call it reparations or whatever, no one will hold him accountable.
And in the end it will be all George Bush’s fault anyway.

“Because of that he can get away with anything.

I suspect the demand to pay reparations is coming. Probably after the 2014 elections, particularly if the Democrats capture the House. McCain, Graham, and Rubio will be at the front of the line to vote for it. Even if the Democrats don’t control the House, Obama will ask for reparations so he can paint the House Republicans as racist if they refuse to go along. There is no downside to making this an issue in 2015.

Reparations are the perfect weapon for a Marxist intent on destroying the nation:

1) Fires up racial divisions by levying a tax on one race to pay out to another race. This completely rips apart what is left of the social fabric of the country.
2) Ensures minorities will vote Democrat forever
3) A massive tax to pay the reparations would destroy the economy.
4) Completely draws attention away from all of the other anti liberty executive actions of the bureaucracy.
5) Accomplishes his goal of “equalizing” wealth.
6) Sets the precedent for future wealth equalizing taxes by the federal government to benefit specific groups.

Maybe, but the Clinton’s knew how to keep throwing bones to the opposition to keep them off-center, in line, and moving with them. Zero and crew are amateurs in comparison, burning the ship around them to forward their anti-US, pro-global, racist agenda. I’m confident old barry-boy and company has a bugout plan in place should things go south for them, but I’m also sure the Clinton’s and their backers are PO’d that barry is sacrificing their future for his current agenda-pushers power grab. I also suspect there is a bigger power-play being made here, that would “cut” out all others who aspire to the throne. I hope I am wrong, but I’m keeping my options open...

The problem is exactly “who” would be dealt with. obama reads what’s on the teleprompter. Sometimes, when he’s high, he might hem and haw a while. But there are much bigger folks calling the shots.

The point being, if an employee of a mayor is willing to accept years in jail to protect the mayor, just imagine the control a president has over those willing to protect his legacy. Don't be surprised if silence prevails.

Lets not forget the power to pardon upon leaving office. Lets hope convictions come after this administration is gone.

Most Americans just don’t care if a Democrat president is dirty. It’s a sad state of affairs when lapses of character, constitution shredding and corporate welfare trump conservative values. Add Obama’s enablers in the media and you have a president who really can’t be touched.

If a local crime in Sanford can bring a certain race en masse out into the streets, can you imagine the race revolution if anyone tries to disturb one hair on the Fuhrer’s head?

I still contemplate this type of corruption, and possible solutions.

The Politican rarely goes to jail for his malfeasence. The Politicans can spend obscene amounts of money to get re-elected and they are never accountable.

I hear Levin pointing to term limits, two terms and you are out. That, unfortunately can lead to a machine politics system where new politicians are beholden to the same union/pupetmaster

How refreshing it is to read someone who can actually connect the dots for a change and doesn't drone on about how "teflon" Obama supposedly is, like some around here do and mistakenly think they're cynicism actually passes for received wisdom.

Yup.

I'm so sick of the defeatist drones around here.

Not sure why they even log in. It would be better if they didn't.

Yes to both of your comments.

I went on a binge a while ago replying to people who constantly post comments like ‘It’s hopeless nothing will ever change nothing will touch him we lost they win” etcetc.

You’ll notice that often such people post that defeatist all is lost stuff constantly.

Makes you wonder about their motives.
