" Mr. Obama has said he will not tolerate the political targeting by the IRS"

But, HE WILL TOLERATE HIS PEOPLE NOT TELLING HIM about it until the news media finds out!

[jazusamo]

Amen...Give them a choice to tell the truth or be prosecuted, then follow through.

This is so blatantly pathetic I don’t see how even Dems can go along with it.

[GregNH]

So Lerner has Roady ask a "planted" question to "break" the story and the WH finds out about it the same way we did?

Get her in front of Congress and ask her who told her now was a good time to break this story.

"Are we to believe Ms Lerner that you were about to go public with a huge scandal involving the purely political actions of the IRS and you were not consulted or did not consult the White House?

[MaxMax]

Oh, well, It's all ok then. Obama for Despot!

Apparently Obama doesn't know a damn thing about anything happening in his Administration.
Thank goodness too, because he would be in trouble if he DID.
Lying sack of shit.

[Venturer]

He met with the President of the IRS Union.

Of course he knew. He gave her instructions when they met.

Jail her she will squeal.

"Top White House aides first learned of a draft report detailing IRS abuses in targeting conservative groups in late April, but they chose to insulate President Obama by not informing him until it exploded in the press, the president’s spokesman said Monday. "

I swear right there at that line I had to go check if this was The Onion or Semi-News ..."

I was thinking that it sounds like the fat guy in “Goodfellas” where he sends whispers back and forth between several layers of underlings.

[Walmartian]

It’s much easier to stand on the ground and tell the truth than it is to climb a tree and tell a lie.

[Nervous Tick]

I could swear that the last time we heard from this fleck of butt mucus, NO ONE in the WH knew anything about this.

Disgusting lying sack of I better stop there.

[SkyDancer]

That’s like an executive officer on a ship holding back information from the captain so he won’t get in trouble.

[Rusty0604]

Most likely a lie, but a good employee always informs their boos of anything they might need to know about. I always told my employees this and I did so for my boss. So it’s still incompetance for Obama as an administrator. We can’t have that for a president.

[True Grit]

How many times have the liars changed their talking points??? First no one in White House knew anything. Then maybe one person knew........Then maybe they mentioned it to one other person. Now......the whole damn White House knew what was going on from day one. Incompetent bunch of lying crooks make a Chinese fire drill look organized.

>>>Threaten a few of these useful idiots with serious jail time and watch them squeal.>>>

Time to step up, RINO'S

[Eagles6]

More like implausible deniability.

[atc23]

Typical democrats. They always play the " he's just a black dude, really, how can you expect him to know anything?

The tyranny of low expectations = hoisted on their own petard !
