White House: Well, the conduct “of a small number of IRS employees may have fallen short…”

When it comes to private business, it is not accepted as an excuse that the CEO did not know about some wrongdoing. He (or she) takes the rap anyway.

But Obama — he seems to have no clue about what is done in the agencies of the Executive Branch of which he is the CEO, and no one seems to ask, “How come the CEO doesn’t have a clue what goes on?”.

Of all the stopid things to say, this might top it all....

So Obama admin basically said they have no control over what their underlings were doing. So move along.

The spin was that this only happen in Cincinnati, but I heard one of the commentors say that Cincinnati is the center that handled all of the groups in the country that filed 501(c)4 claims.

Yep, it's the national office for tax exempt organizations. I helped organize a 501c3 here a few years ago and all correspondence went through Cincinnati.

Again, they are lying. True in the context of the IRS nationwide the people who did this were "few" - but the IRS employees who review 501c4 applications are "few."

A small number of IRS employees? If they know who, then publish pictures and names! They need to be hanged. Or at the very least, go to jail. For harassing good American citizens. My cousin is retired IRS, and I gave her a verbal tirade for voting for Obama. They all should be fired for being Obama-bots.

Thanks colorado.

They really are SOB aren't they.

Haven't had time to check it out but the net seems to have been casted out ever further today.

Thought I heard as I was walking by the TV that the Washington Post is reporting that DC official knew about this.

Hell, I am sure they are the ones that ordered it.
