Obama's Enemies List (Romney donor targeted by Feds for audits, fines for too many flies on ranch)
WSJ ^ | 7-20-12 | Kimberly Strassel

This column has already told the story of Frank VanderSloot, an Idaho businessman who last year contributed to a group supporting Mitt Romney. An Obama campaign website in April sent a message to those who'd donate to the president's opponent. It called out Mr. VanderSloot and seven other private donors by name and occupation and slurred them as having "less-than-reputable" records.

Mr. VanderSloot has since been learning what it means to be on a presidential enemies list. Just 12 days after the attack, the Idahoan found an investigator digging to unearth his divorce records. This bloodhound—a recent employee of Senate Democrats—worked for a for-hire opposition research firm.

Now Mr. VanderSloot has been targeted by the federal government. In a letter dated June 21, he was informed that his tax records had been "selected for examination" by the Internal Revenue Service. The audit also encompasses Mr. VanderSloot's wife, and not one, but two years of past filings (2008 and 2009).

Mr. VanderSloot, who is 63 and has been working since his teens, says neither he nor his accountants recall his being subject to a federal tax audit before. He was once required to send documents on a line item inquiry into his charitable donations, which resulted in no changes to his taxes. But nothing more—that is until now, shortly after he wrote a big check to a Romney-supporting Super PAC.

The mask is slipping. Just wait if Obama wins a second term. Hugo Chavez Obama will use the Federal government to silence and crush all who do not bow down before him.

To the Chicago thugs in the WH, this is just business as usual. Hell, to leaders of a marxist regime this is probably standard operating procedure.

America has a big mess to clean up. The first step is taking out the trash occupying the White House.

“Left wing 3rd World Dictator”

So far Obama still maintain his Daley image (all deeds done by underlings, nothing concrete can be traced back to him).

But we will see. A lot of bloodshed forthcoming.

If this is true, it need to be investigated by a Special Prosecutor as an abuse of power. If found to be a valid charge of abuse of power, an impeachment is in order. Even Nixon never went this far.

Well, this tyranny, along with the mass importation of Third Worlders who receive special protection status and go on the govt dole while becoming de facto Democrat party members ensuring their one-party-rule, it's hard to foresee how it all ends well.
