Collins: Why hasn’t Obama spoken up about the IRS scandal?
Hotair ^

Posted on 05/13/2013 7:20:42 AM PDT by chessplayer

Susan Collins appeared on CNN’s State of the Union yesterday to address the exploding scandal at the IRS, as many of the other Sunday talk shows focused more on the exploding scandal of Benghazi. Candy Crowley asked Collins, “Is this passing the smell test to you?” Collins scoffed at the explanation given — that this took place only among low-level staffers — and wondered aloud why Barack Obama and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew haven’t apologized for the agency’s targeting of political opponents for more than a year up to the 2012 election.

Just like he NEVER condemns murders by the middle eastern death cult against Christians or Jews, he won’t condemn this.

At least until they devise a superficially plausible means of blaming it all on the Republican-caused Sequester.

Let's not forget to remind the sheeple who is to blame for the Obama-directed problem.

Good point. Of course, Jay Carney has already blamed it on the Bush Administration:

This all happened because of an irresponsible and repulsive internet video is what I’m hearing...

Maybe this time when O leaves for fund-raising whatever he is doing, We the People can lock the White House doors and refuse to let him back in. It is OUR house, is it not?

Surprised so many in here think this story is much ado about nothing and want the media to ignore it. Guess it’s fine and dandy for the IRS to target people for their political beliefs.

He doesn’t have to.

The Obama Media protects him when the issue is still news.

Then he and the media cry “Old News!”

The GOP-Elite is not happy with the Tea Party either (then again, some of the GOP “moderates” are Reagan era Democrats who changed at some point after 1994...).

This story explains all the shotguns & ammo for the IRS, I guess.

He was quick to bring onto his team, people who looked with disdain and indifference towards their views of paying taxes.

Warren Buffett claims to want to be assessed higher taxes yet he allegedly does not pay all of the taxes he already owes the IRS.

It’s a threat that they will use the IRS against others who speak out against them.

“agency’s targeting of political opponents for more than a year up to the 2012 election.’

Remember this?:

Valerie Jarret – “After We Win This Election, It’s Our Turn. Payback Time.”

Well........this is it.

This was supposed to diffuse Benghazi?? Or visa versa??

He's soooooo confused right now.

He'll use Cameron as a cover...maybe they'll go to another game...and have tea.

Susan is apparently slipping into dementia.

How could anyone with a brain believe that this maniacal, lop-eared, Muslim loving, communist asshat would criticize his most important political arm.

Circulate the petitions to destroy the IRS.

Obama is having a press conference with David Cameron shortly. The question may come up at the press conference.

“And I will ensure that whoever is responsible will be brought to justice.” Obama will feign outrage and say that such actions will not be tolerated under his Administration.

There is only one reason for CNN to go after the IRS story and that is to hide their political princess Hillary from the atrocities of Benghazi.

And they might be starting to come to the conclusion that a President Biden naming Hillary his VP will give her a more certain path to victory in 2016 than the status quo - and would help to silence her critics, as well.
