President Obama continues to insist that he first became aware of his IRS targeting conservative groups a week ago Friday when the news first broke.
This, despite the fact that his White House counsel, Kathryn Ruemmler, had been informed of the probe on April 22. And despite the fact, as the New York Times reports, that officials in his Treasury Department knew in March that tea party groups had been targeted.

The inspector general gave Republicans some fodder Friday when he divulged that he informed the Treasurys general counsel he was auditing the I.R.S.s screening of politically active groups seeking tax exemptions on June 4, 2012. He told Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin shortly after, he said. That meant Obama administration officials were aware of the matter during the presidential campaign year.The disclosure last summer came as part of a routine briefing of the investigations that the inspector general would be conducting in the coming year, and he did not tell the officials of his conclusions that the targeting had been improper, he said.

Agreed. Do you think the Kenyan is done for? I ask because of your use of the future tense for Biden. LOL
I think it’s about 50-50 that the Kenyan is gone.
If the main stream media does not report it ? then those who mega bucks could have a national campaign to place full page ads in news papers, buy TV time, and place ads on bill boards all across the country to alert the American people about these of many scandals.
zero chance sadly. he would literally have to be caught performing post birth abortions to be ousted.
Nobody ever gets “fired” in the Obama administration. They just move them to a new job in another agency and give them a bonus for a job well done.
He didn’t know nuttin’ ‘bout ‘nuttin!
Translated: the most brilliant man in the universe is a complete idiot.
Someone high up has to turn on him. If Biden did that I highly doubt he would do worse damage than the Kenyan has done alreafy. He would probably be so thrilled to have the title of presidrnt, he would go along to get along for the duration.

As Mark Steyn observed, he had the AP wiretapped, so you’d think he’d have gotten at least *some* advance warning.
The Limbaugh Theorem:
Obama is never seen as governing, and hes always somehow on the outside of everything. Its as if hes not even president. He creates problems but never gets blamed for them; instead only Obama only gets credit for trying to fix them.
