19 Facts On IRS Targeting President Obama Can't Blame On Republicans
Forbes ^ | July 23, 2015 | By Robert W. Wood

On The Daily Show, President Obama blamed Republicans for the IRS scandal:

“You’ve got this back office, and they’re going after the Tea Party. Well, it turned out, no, Congress had passed a crummy law that didn’t give people guidance in terms of what it was they were trying to do. They did it poorly and stupidly. The truth of the matter is that there was not some big conspiracy there. They were trying to sort out these conflicting demands. You don’t want all this money pouring through non-for- profits, but you also want to make sure everybody is being treated fairly.”

Really, Mr. President? For effect, perhaps he should reprise his testy “not even a smidgen of corruption” remark to Fox News. The President keeps claiming there is no evidence the IRS was used for political targeting. You be the judge:

1. In January 2010, the Supreme Court in Citizens United held it unconstitutional to ban free speech by corporations, unions and other organizations.

2. In August 2010, the IRS distributed a BOLO (Be on the Lookout) list for Tea Party organizations applying for tax exempt status.

3. In October 2010, IRS Exempt Organization chief Lois Lerner met with the DOJ about prosecuting conservative groups. . .

They did it poorly and stupidly.

He seems awfully stuck on "stupidly" as a concept. But it's never him or his enemy islamist pals. Oh, no.

What a stuttering, stammering fool.

Too bad people don’t see the real Obama.
They see the slick package marketed to get votes.

Unscripted, this guy is a babbling brook of useless information.

I think he’s coming to the realization hope and change are long gone and is trying to pass the buck for his failure.

Or, he’s delusional

Does he blame “the IRS mulching their harddrives” on a congressional bill as well?
