This man (Obama), has been the largest failure on the face of the planet. I thought things could not get any worse under Bush...I WAS WRONG!!! You honestly think, Obama has nothing to do with the targeting of conservative groups? Really?

Does it matter how long ago that it happened besides the ract that it did? Tell a veteran not to worry about his care because the false war happened 10 years ago and check out his reaction.

That is true, I was making the point of why one group can get a pass and another can't.

I'm not a big obama supporter but I will not give him, bush, those fools in the senate or congress a pass on anything that they do so they can blame someone else either.

People tend to forget that he cannot do anything without the help of the senate/congress, but yet people tend to ignore that simple fact

Bush will never be done. They'll be blaming him for their (DNC) mistakes for another decade or two.

I'm waiting for Americans to wake up from their partisan coma to the reality of both parties being run by the same crooks.

Of course he can. The Attorney General takes his direction from the president.

He's the guy in White House right now, and this crap is happening on his watch. This "president" is very much to blame for all of this, no matter how much that man-child tries to distance from said situation.

But the IRS does not fall under the AG. Who is to say that because of the ruling regarding contributions to political groups that they (factions inside of the IRS) might be a little over zealous?

Why would they be overzealous? Are they for unlevel playing fields? Are they democrats who simply want an unfair advantage when it comes time for elections?

Well, inquiring minds want to know.
