I really believe that Obamas administration has had free reign in whatever they do. Obama’s power has simply spiraled out of control, he has really been a DICTATOR, in every sense of the word. They wanted to blunt the story with an apology in an attempt to tamp it down. Obama is in over his head.
I think they brought this up because it is the least worst thing they can find that is big enough to distract attention from whatever is the worst thing going on. We probably really don’t know what is the worst thing going on. It could be Benghazi, The Seals Murder, Protection of the Boston Bomber. That list of possibilities that are a lot worse is a long one.
This IRS thing does not cause about 1/2 the population much concern... not a general issue. Those other things could be general issues. The proletariat can even get upset about being lied to and they feel threatened by things that threaten them.... tax stuff doesn’t bother a lot of them at all but it is something the right can get outraged about and distract them from more universal issues.
Everything these thugs do is calculated. They don’t do good at long term or chess but they are constantly on the move stirring the pot, keeping the opposition off balance. They are arsonists lighting fires faster than we can put them out.
