Where does the buck stop in the Obama administration? Will anyone take responsibility for the IRS scandal? When will we hear the whole truth? And will the president ever admit to creating a culture of hostility toward conservative groups?
Does President Obama think his endless attacks on conservative groups had no effect on the IRS’s thinking? Did the IRS take years of name calling as a sign that these groups deserved to be harassed? After the president and his allies called the groups “terrorists” and “tea-baggers,” did the IRS think targeting them was what the president wanted? Were they egged on by the letters from Democrat Senators Schumer, Whitehouse, and Baucus calling for the IRS to scrutinize conservative groups?
Doesn’t the administration recognize the IRS could’ve taken cues from people at the top?
If this wasn’t politically motivated, why weren’t liberal groups targeted? Why did the IRS wait until after the 2012 election to admit their actions? Isn’t it interesting that none of President Obama’s supporters were targeted?
Why did the IRS give confidential information about conservative groups to ProPublica—and not liberal groups? And what other records were released???
--snip--
How do we know this won’t happen again? Can we really trust the IRS to implement Obamacare? Is this bureaucracy competent enough to apply the law fairly and even-handedly? Will the agency that played politics with our taxes play politics with our healthcare? Should Americans feel confident that their health records won’t be released? Can we rest assured that the IRS won’t use their new powers to push a political agenda? Will President Obama bother to address this concern?
Why have these questions gone unanswered? Why can’t we get the facts? Is this really the “most transparent administration in history”?
Priebus is the chairman of the Republican National Committee.

I guess it's wonderful that he makes a statement once every few months... just to let us know he's still alive.
I personally don’t care for Priebus. Wussy. Cojonesless.
But he does ask some good questions. The problem is that the Dems are laughing at him.
We need a Conservative that will take it to nobama and drive hard to get answers.
Absolutely spot on! It's like all of Washington, both Rs and Ds AND the media are playing dumb with this so as to protect this worthless, half black Kenyan.
They're going to really regret doing this to America some day but by then it will be way too late.
The truth? You can't handle the truth! Did he order a 'code red' on conservatives? Damn right he did. Apologies to "A Few Good Men".
This column shows why conservative talk radio is so popular.
Talk radio is just that — talk. And more talk. It’s an echo-chamber, with hosts and callers saying fiery things that pissed-off people want to hear. And tomorrow there will be more talk.
The time for talk is over. Priebus’ questions — every one of them — are good questions that deserve hard answers, right now.
The time for action is NOW, even if that action is just to remember the names of those who don’t do a DAMN thing about these problems, so we can take action at election time.
Yeah. This is exactly what you’re gonna get from the Priebster. Functionality = zero. Hand wringing, wailing, “woe is me, if only Jeb Bush was in charge.”
ESAD, RNC.
Priebus makes Bill Brock and Ray Bliss look aggressive.
Are you saying that the politicians, consultants, and the media are all self-interested? Couldn’t be with so many needy Americans out there! And the needy believe in the status quo, even if they don’t know the term.
Unfortunately the opposition party has no balls. Their leader .wears pink ties and cries
