Under pressure to show who's boss, President Obama called a press conference late Wednesday to say he was “angry” that the IRS singled out conservative groups for extra vetting and to announce that the agency’s acting commissioner had been forced out.
"Its inexcusable, and Americans are right to be angry about it, and I am angry about it," he said. "I will not tolerate this kind of behavior in any agency, but especially in the IRS, given the power that it has and the reach that it has into all of our lives."

Obama's former deputy press secretary, Bill Burton, said the president did the right thing by making a forceful statement on national television. "There are things that happen outside the control of the president, and to the extent that the president is able to take control of the situation, it's remarkably helpful," he said.

“He can’t let the Washington chattering class distract from his mission,” said Capitol Hill lobbyist Steve Elmendorf. “Every administration has these kind of distractions and they need to be managed and dealt with and not get thrown of his game.”
A few hours before the press conference, Obama met with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., to discuss immigration reform.

Why don’t I believe the marxist?
He comes across as “angry” all the time, often in a refined passive-agressive way. He is not “cool”, he is cold and calculating.
As the IBD editorial pointed out,
what makes this so ironic is that it was just a couple of weeks ago that 0bama was mocking the “voices that warn of government tyranny just around the corner”.
Yep, don’t have to worry about that tyranny “just around the corner”, because it’s here and now, and has been since 2010.
I am angry that I, and my family have been harassed and continually discriminated against, by the government, the media, by the schools and by a progressive culture, because we are white, Christian and conservative.
We have been denied opportunities for my children, because they are white males, by every institution I have tried to work with, for their education.
It is no different than that little girl in the Civil Rights movement, that we have all seen in historic footage. For what it is worth-I am a supporter of civil rights for all Americans. I always have been. Yet I face the politics of revenge against me, because of my skin color.
I am sick of it.
I have felt the sense building that there is actually a plan to imprison or even kill conservatives, to further a political agenda. Or to at least keep us paying taxes, but have no voice in they way we are governed.
I have had “friends” believe it is acceptable to hurl names at me, call me a racist, disassociate from me, and keep me out events, because of my christian association and political beliefs.
I see the amount of hate crimes and violence, countrywide, escalate against people of my pigmentation, to the point where I don’t fee safe traveling in cities anymore, or doing my homeless/job developing street ministry in down town areas. WHY? Because I am white and they are black. I had not noticed that before THIS past election.
You are angry Obama? This isn’t your country. You hold none of the morals, ethics or dreams of Americans. You want blind power, like some third world dictator.
You have imported , intimidated and brainwashed people, to your point of view. All in the pursuit of getting rid of people like me and my children.
I have ancestors who have fought in most of Americas wars, including the one at Lexington and Concord- all the way back to the Revolution. And now I am treated like a parasite, in my own country, for being the kind of person who follows the laws and pays attention to our heritage.
And I know that you are just the leader, for the moment, of the progressive movement. But even I had hope for you that you might just turn your heart, and do something good with huge amount of political capital you had.
I had a dream, that you would be fair, and just- because after all you were the face of the America dream to many millions of people- and to the world.
And what did you do?
Yes, Saul Alinksy would be proud of your huge accomplishments- but Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would cry. What have you accomplished? More power for your friends, nothing else.
You have divided this country worse than it has ever been with your cursed, hateful speech against people. You shame and mock people for their skin color, their spiritual and their political beliefs.
And with all of your political power, and the promise of millions of people wanting you to do that right thing, and following every word you say.. you are still not above God. Everyday we are given two paths. One a blessing and one a curse.
You always seem to choose the curse. WHY?
I am praying for you. And for your entire administration.
It used to be said that white folks couldn’t be discriminated against, because “we” ran the institutions..
Hmmm....
Let’s have a national discussion about, shall we?

The only reason he is mad, is that he got caught.
Anyone else hear that black woman call into Hannity yesterday that was absolutely ecstatic that conservatives were being targeted by the IRS?
Her reason - payback. She stated that the EXISTANCE of conservatives/republicans is oppressive to her.
So, by unstated extension, she would advocate for the extermination of conservatives. Don’t doubt it. This is not an isolated viewpoint.
Very unfortunate.
And I am not surprised anymore.
He knew that we would discover, quickly, that the guy he fired was quitting anyway.
His message here is twofold: 1) “F- you, I’m in power and there’s nothing you can do” and 2) that it’s our anger which he will “show us” because WE are the ones whose anger will rise.
Our anger is being fueled purposely.
And, although anger at this time is justified, it must be at the service of reason and honor or it will be used against us.
Oh, OK, so THIS time you really, really, really ARE angry about this and THIS time you really, really, really ARE telling the truth about it . . . so says obama using his tired, old, junior high theatrics . . . o, you are just sorry you got caught. Now take your ball and go home to moo moo.
Yes Mr. President. I want to see you angry. Apoplectic even.
I especially want to see your fury as they haul your worthless ass out of the court room in handcuffs to being your life as Levinworth prisoner #2543778.
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE.
outstanding! this letter should be sent to every newspaper editorial column.
Don’t make him angry. You won’t like him when he’s angry.
Do his horns show or something?
No. You just won’t like him.
This acting commish wasn’t even in charge in 2010 when this stuff was first going on.
Oh... so how would that be different?
