This Is No Ordinary Scandal
WSJ.com ^ | May 17,2013 | Peggy Noonan

Posted on 05/17/2013 3:27:17 AM PDT by Biggirl

We are in the midst of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate. The reputation of the Obama White House has, among conservatives, gone from sketchy to sinister, and, among liberals, from unsatisfying to dangerous. No one likes what they're seeing.

Only then will stables that badly need to be cleaned, be cleaned.

Nonsense. NONSENSE. The IRS sits on a corrupt foundation, the US Tax code. That is where the problem begins and there is no solution without blowing up that foundation and starting over.

If you take everything into account about Obama and his regime, Watergate is equivalent to a parking ticket by comparison. 0 is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated against any nation since the beginning of time. He’s on par with Hitler and actually doe more damage and been more intrusive with the exception of the murdering of 6M Jews but if you gave him more time and he succeeded in disarming us Tea Party members migh take their pace.

As Zero gets hit on so many fronts, this looks more and more like an attack on his presidency. Who would benefit from that?? The Clintons for one. She would be the logical choice to be appointed VP under Biden should he become president. This would make her run in 2016 easier for her. Biden would get a chance to be president for a couple of years. This looks like a showdown between the Clintons and the Obamas and the Clintons have a lot of friends at the IRS. She also does not want to be blamed for Benghazi and will throw Zero under the bus the next time she has to testify. The Clintons also know they have to get the press out of zero’s camp and into theirs. Zero has worn out his usefulness and it will take even more than this to make him resign. You can be sure a steady stream of sh*t will hit the fan until he does.

As much as I agree with you, I feel I should remind everyone that if he IS impeached and (please, Lord) convicted, we need to remember what we get in his place.

President Biden.

Do you think HE will change anything? Heck no. He’d probably keep the same corrupt advisors and Cabinet members that are there now.

No...we NEED the whole shooting match taken outta there.

‘Did you know what the IRS was doing, Mr. President?’

‘I can assure you that I didn’t see the report until I saw the report.’

No, no it isn't. The abuse of power, the denial of citizens First amendment rights, and then trying to cover it up.

Richard Nixon is looking better every day.

She’s too savvy for that I’m afraid. She’s got that passport information too. Could be the final nail.

Noonan did her part to put the Communist in the White House. I remember one column she did during the 2008 campaign season, breathlessly exclaiming about “strong black men.”

Not surprising, though. I remember her appearances on “Hannity and Colmes”, where she would toss her hair and simper like some long-in-the-tooth old broad who couldn’t get over the fact she was a cheerleader forty years earlier.

Peggy who literally swooned over Obama right after he was elected. Now she finally comes to the party.

Peggy is slow on the uptake - as usual. Obama hit “sinister” a very long time ago. This was simply a case of making the image that those who pay attention had formed obvious even to those dependent on MSNBC for news about that drug-addled thug.

I agree they are all rotten, but we have got to keep up the pressure on our Congressmen.

Heh. I must confess, I’ve not ever watched that show, nary a minute.

It’s much more entertaining to be on FR for distraction.

Ya think anyone in CT, cares about this Donovan scandal but me?

Maybe I’ll see you at the big gun *Turn-In* in Hartford tomorrow? LOL

In order to suppress conservative groups—at first those with words like "Tea Party" and "Patriot" in their names, then including those that opposed ObamaCare or advanced the Second Amendment—the IRS demanded donor rolls, membership lists, data on all contributions, names of volunteers, the contents of all speeches made by members, Facebook FB +0.46% posts, minutes of all meetings, and copies of all materials handed out at gatherings. Among its questions: What are you thinking about? Did you ever think of running for office? Do you ever contact political figures? What are you reading? One group sent what it was reading: the U.S. Constitution.

Add in the other scandals. Obama and his legislative agenda is out of gas, IMHO.

His supporters have made up for the 6 million holocost with about 60 million abortions.
