AmSpec Scoop: Obama “Met With Anti-Tea Party IRS Union Chief Day Before Agency Targeted Tea Party”

Jeffrey Lord at the American Spectator has reviewed the White House logs looking for a relationship between meetings listed there and the timeline found in the Inspector General’s report on the targeting of Tea Party and conservative groups issued last Tuesday. Lord’s work represents yet another example of alternative media scooping a lazy or negligent establishment press.

What Lord has found is that President Barack Obama met with the President of the National Treasury Employees Union Colleen Kelley, on March 31, 2010. The NTEU is “the 150,000 member union that represents IRS employees along with 30 other separate government agencies.” The Inspector General’s report, blandly titled “Inappropriate Criteria Were Used to Identify Tax-Exempt Applications for Review,” indicates that the IRS, in Lord’s words, “set to work in earnest targeting the Tea Party and conservative groups around America” the very next day. …

Obama knew what was being done. Any person who thinks otherwise is either being loyal to a party or thinks that it's okay to go after your opposition with the government power behind that.

Instead of going through the official channels he goes to the Union.

No emails, no paperwork, just word of mouth to the Union Boss that he wouldn’t mind seeing Conservatives sweat.

And with about 100 other people at the very same time.
They’re reporting a story in much the vein that the left does. whatever helps their cause. Sure seems to be some sort of ceremony.
Bah. we need to be better than that or at least i do.

unfortunately the Clinton administration proved that if a lefty needs to be impeached he won’t be. The O admin will drag everyone on God’s green earth through the mud rather than resign or admit wrong doing.

From February 19, 2008, Statement of Colleen M. Kelley, National President of National Treasury Employees Union. Submitted for the Hearing Record 'IRS Oversight Board Public Meeting' online at http://www.treasury.gov/irsob/meetings/2-19-08/statement-NTEU.pdf

Unfortunately, the current Administration [George W. Bush] has taken steps to dismantle the current GS system...  photo ColleenKelley-4-L-150.gif and replace it with various pay for perfor mance management systems. But there is no hard evidence that these alternative systems work. To the contrary, there is some evidence that they do not work.

Yet, in here March 31, 2010, in her meeting with President Obama, just what... could she have said:

So, if we make it near impossible for these Tea Party & Right Wings outfits...  photo ColleenKelley-3-200.gif to get tax-exempt status, it will help guarantee you re-election and get us a very, very favorable deal when we talk contract again?

You are correct, Colleen, we'll get your people a lot more money and comp time off....  photo Obama-G-L-150.gif call me when it is up and running.

Then, them GOP sumbitches...  photo ColleenKelley-3a-200.gif are toast!

However, if such a conversation was had...  photo DanPfeiffer-1-L-150.gif it is irrelevant!

Well, that is nice... to know, Dan--

BTW Obama's IRS has hired the Plumbers Union to fix things and they are doing a bang up job... IF you are a Democrat!

I think Rush mentioned this, but I didn’t quite hear all of it.
