Tyranny: Perhaps the most sinister aspect of the president's parade of scandals is that just days before they broke, he mocked as paranoid those concerned about government excesses.
On May 5, while giving the commencement address at Ohio State University, President Obama advised graduates to put all their trust in government and reject those shrill "voices" that say it's the source of our problems.

I wonder how much money might have been donated to conservative candidates that instead went to fight the IRS in 2012?
We’ll never know exactly how much this was a factor but in my view it got him reelected.
What attracted these IRS employees to their jobs? Same thing.
