Sarah Hall Ingram, the IRS executive in charge of the tax exempt division in 2010 when it began targeting conservative Tea Party, evangelical and pro-Israel groups for harassment, got more than $100,000 in bonuses between 2009 and 2012.
More recently, Ingram was promoted to serve as director of the tax agency's Obamacare program office, a position that put her in charge of the vast expansion of the IRS' regulatory power and staffing in connection with federal health care, ABC reported earlier today

High-ranking career federal civil servants like Ingram are eligible for recognition through citations known as Distinguished and Merit Service awards that can carry with them cash bonuses of anywhere from five to 35 percent of their base salary.
The largest of such awards, however, require presidential approval, according to the Office of Personnel Management, which oversees the federal civil service workforce.
“If the recommended award is over $25,000, the Director of OPM reviews the nomination and forwards his/her recommendation to the President for approval,” according to the OPM guidance.

It was all an accident, nothing to see here, move along.......besides, he promises he'll fix it.......

The Communist is giving us the finger.
He's avenging his father's death at the hands of the imperialist oppressors. It's not hard to figure out.
Unstated is the fact that a precondition for the bonus was that half be kicked back to Tides Foundation nonprofits
Is it okay to be paranoid when there actually IS someone after you?
No bonuses for ANY government worker either federal or local!
America has become one gigantic insane asylum. How anything of importance gets done should just amaze anyone with a functioning brain.
(This, of course, does exclude someone as stupid as Biden, his liege and the entire Democrat-Socialist-Abortion Party.
Truly a government that has no inclination to be subordinate to the electorate.
“If the recommended award is over $25,000, the Director of OPM reviews the nomination and forwards his/her recommendation to the President for approval,” according to the OPM guidance.”
When asked if the President had signed off on the award, Jay Carney said, “ A hundred thousand of these awards come through the office each year. Just because the President’s signature is ‘stamped’ on them doesn’t mean he knew about it.”
You have a point...
Well, here’s the thing - the groupthink of the “liberal” and “progressive” mindset is rather like that of the anthill, or possibly, the Borg. As they all think within the same narrow pre-set limits, including the choice of facts, the same conclusion is arrived at each time. The decision of the IRS agency head to target T.E.A. party and limited government advocacy groups is exactly the same decision the Current Regime would have made, if the matter had been referred to them directly. But there is no piece of paper, or smoking gun, that can be laid before any investigator (an objective one, it should be hoped, something unlikely to be called in for this situation), and a reasonable logical conclusion may be drawn.
So, no detectable order may be found. But in the telepathy that seems to leap from the mind of Valerie Jarrett or George Soros to every advocate of the Current Regime, the objective, and even the process, is perfectly clear - go in smash-mouth, take no prisoners, offer no conditions and show no mercy.
Saul Alinsky would be so proud.
The leftists think they got in to the political arena to get rid of injustice, unfairness, and to fight oppression from tyrannical overords.
They've become exactly who they claim they wanted to fight........
per civil service regulations, the President does not have to approve bonuses granted to people at her level in the government.
FREEPERS please contact your Congressional representatives to investigate circumstances behind Malik Obama (Dear Leader Obamuslim’s half brother in Kenya) getting tax exempt status in record appoval time.
*feeling sheepish*
Spielchzech is my fiend.
Carney even admitted there were thousands of them that went through the preezie's approval.
This pisses me off on SO many levels..
My congressman will get input from me on why govt employees get “bonuses”...
Total BS...
What you say!
There, don't you feel better now?
:-)
I didn’t notice the “overords,” but I like it. It has an orc quality about it, which kind of fits.
