Obama defends IRS, says tea party targeting didn’t happen

President Obama defended the IRS Tuesday in an interview with “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart, saying the tea party-targeting scandal was actually Congress’ fault for passing “a crummy law” and that the real problem is the agency doesn’t have enough money.

Mr. Obama, who has overseen a series of scandals at the IRS, the Veterans Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and now the Office of Personnel Management, was asked why government didn’t seem to be working on his watch.

But the president said he’s not to blame, using the IRS as an example of how what went wrong wasn’t his fault, and questioning whether tea party groups were ever targeted.

This is like saying “We didn’t save enough money because we didn’t spend enough.”

NOTHING is his fault. 7 years in to it and he’s just been an innocent victim. If only Obama were president and he could fix things.

And of course his pant sniffers will just inhale deeply and say “yes Obama, it’s the conservatives’ fault conservatives were targeted by the IRS.”

Just as the Holocaust never happened. Since his Iran deal that sense of shiite has been unusually strong with this one.

One of these days an interviewer will respond with -

“You are joking, right?”

I hope...:^)

Amazing.
This klown spews lies like the rest of humanity spews exhalations.
There are no adequate words to describe this jackass, but the worst part is there is no one to oppose his lawlessness and dishonesty.

Remember when Joe Wilson confronted Obama with a shouted “YOU LIE”. The GOP leadership came down on him like a ton of bricks with threats until he recanted.

>>this idiot is full of sh*t

It's sort of like that one time, at Band Camp, when the Idiot's campaign National Finance Chairwoman stuffed ACORNS up her, umm, Chicago family-owned-FAILED Superior Bank... and then became Secretary of Commerce.
