How can Republicans in Congress work with President Obama when they can't trust him to be an honest broker or treat them with respect? If Obama isn't blaming Republicans for his inability to advance his agenda, he's calling them names. During Monday's White House press conference, Obama reiterated his disgust with the GOP's doggedness to get to the bottom of what happened in Benghazi.
"The whole issue of talking points, frankly, throughout this process has been a sideshow," said Obama. Belittling comments like these don't warm Republicans' hearts to help Obama advance one scintilla of an issue in his second term.
Call them what you will sideshows or scandals they seem to be swirling around the White House like bees to honey. Days after the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee concluded a fresh hearing into who knew what and when about the terrorist attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, the public learned the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) targeted conservative groups seeking non-profit exemption to engage in political activism. The IRS's interrogation style questioning of the groups began in 2010. It's hard to read this as anything other than appear politically motivated.
Joining British Prime Minister David Cameron Monday, President Barack Obama tried to set the record straight on both scandals declaring the IRS' actions "outrageous". If proven true, Obama said
"people have to be held accountable, and it's got to be fixed But I've got no patience with it. I will not tolerate it. And we will make sure that we find out exactly what happened on this."
But will Obama hold senior IRS officials accountable?(continued)

Thanks for the reply, Cott. But, no offense, you need to take advantage of the FR spell-checker function. Or have we been imbibing just a bit tonight.... ;)
Way ahead of the curve - never trusted him and never will. The problem is that our Republican representatives still have no clue. We will always be lost when the Republican opposition is a bunch of girly guys always looking for ways to lose. They do seem to want to just stay in office rather than push policy or win...what a great bunch of legislators we have! Freedom is at risk and this is what we voted for!!
Bozo has a sign, too. “What Buck?”
Has the typical Freeper opinion of Obama changed at all since 2008? His most severe critics were simply, consistently right.
All he has to do to get out of this is say that hes gay.
You’re right. That’s his trump card. To come out, though, he’d have to throw his wife and kids under the bus. Would he?
The GOP needs to grow a pair of balls and put the full-court press on ( o ) bama.
Palin should be out in front, along with Rand Paul and others.
This is far bigger than Watergate.
Bump
soooo,
you want him to tell the truth for once?

Hollywood Moonbat Bette Middler: I Love The IRS! Happy They Are Targeting Conservatives
Obama and Holder has micro manage in so many areas of individual citizens lives that I don’t ever recall any other president doing this before in history.
Someone here could give a better list from the Boston professor, GM. auto dealerships, Tray-Martin case etc how they are obessed.
To give the impression they were not aware of the AP wiretap, IRS, and not be glued to what was happening in Benghazi in a situation room type set up is very puzzling.
Those who micro mangage to the point of OCP are also control freaks and to do that one has the need to know.
I trust him ... to be a liar a cheat a thief and a traitor.
Obama has had malicious intent from the beginning, and don’t think he will stop now. He needs to be removed from office, and practically his entire administration should be behind bars.
Any American who trusted Obama before is far too gullible. This is expected (and much of it was known but dismissed by the media before the election), not in any way a shock.
Besides being an islamist murderer, hussein has been, is now and will always be a pathological liar.
He’s a politician. He would throw his family under a bus in a heart beat...
