Hey, as long as he’s joking about special olympics its ok.
“0” (no pun) tolerance?????
Well, FWIW, Bill Clinton constantly used tax audits as a political weapon. And Obama’s administration is full of clintonoids who are experienced at that tactic.
The other thing bill clinton did was to sic the regulators on his enemies. Do we think that Obama would hesitate to do that? The SEC, the EPA, the FCC?
Isn’t he already publicly firing CEOs who cross him, which is a step further than clinton ever went?
I did not have inappropriate sex with that woman.
Go get’er boy’z
Considering what I think is coming down the pike by fall this is a pretty puny threat now.
I'M NOT AFRAID OF A STREET THUG FROM CHICAGO OR THE GOONS THAT FOLLOW HIM AROUND
(and I'm NOT talking about the Secret Service!).CHENEY CLEANED YOUR CLOCK YESTERDAY, AND PEOPLE LIKE HIM AND MY FAMILY HAVE NO PLANS TO ROLL OVER AND PEE ON OURSELVES JUST BECAUSE YOU THREATEN US.
Say what you will about him (because you do) GEORGE W. BUSH WOULD NEVER DO THIS TO AN AMERICAN CITIZEN!!!!! NEVER!!!!! THIS IS LOW, EVEN BY YOUR STANDARDS.
Another reason for the Fair Tax and getting rid of the IRS.
Finally, I’m seeing some discussion on this. I did not appreciate that veiled threat at all...in fact, it wasn’t veiled.
someone who actually has that kind of power to sic the IRS on you, should certainly NEVER joke about that.
Wasn’t Br-rack’s statement mainly becasue the university didn’t give him an honorary degree? In other words, ALL WILL BOW AND HONOR HE WHO IS THEIR SUPERIOR (Everyone)!
He was just pretending to be joking ... it WAS a purposeful threat to any and all who would dare cross him.
Nothing new, here; it's a cheap Dem stunt made famous by Clinton who did it many, many times to his political opposition.
Mr. Obama has been accused of not appreciating the importance of financial capital to the proper functioning of the economy. But ill-chosen remarks like his ASU audit threat suggest that he also doesn’t appreciate the role of moral capital. That, too, is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy.
Barack Obama is morally bankrupt.
Who says it was a joke?
Bump. From 2009 ...
