And if it isn't stopped, no one will ever respect or have even minimal faith in the revenue-gathering arm of the U.S. government again.

When Schwarzenegger was governor of CA, he passed a law stating that it was illegal to drive while talking on a handheld phone. When a well-publicized photo of the Governor's then-wife, Maria Shriver, appeared showing her driving while chatting on a phone,

people stopped taking the law seriously. Now I see motorists talking and texting while driving EVERYWHERE.

Shut up, Peggy! You helped elect him.

Stoopid but articulate. May she be a canary in his coal mine!

“No one likes what they’re seeing.”

Especially when it involves a bunch of psychotic, adolescent, Progressive brats who hide behind any number of religious, ethnic or any other skirts that offer cover from responsibility.

IMHO

“What a naive waif.”

Absolutely.

Progressives don’t care what their psychotic representatives in government do.

They’ll back them to the hilt and take joy in hearing that a bunch of adolescent punks have been intimidating their “enemies” on the right, throught the IRS, the press, or whatever means are in their control.

Bolsheviks know no decency. They only know what it takes to accomplish their goals.

IMHO

Who would benefit from that?? The Clintons for one. She would be the logical choice to be appointed VP under Biden should he become president. This would make her run in 2016 easier for her. Biden would get a chance to be president for a couple of years. This looks like a showdown between the Clintons and the Obamas and the Clintons have a lot of friends at the IRS.

A solid hypothesis, but it will take a lot for Behghazi plus the mess she made of foreign policy to be discounted.

But she fell, she can blame her memory loss on the concussion. The libs and women will forgive her for Benghazi as long as there is Obama to blame.

No one knows who Obama is. Not even his “literay agent” know. She misinformed the world for 16 years.

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/timstanley/100158834/obama-used-to-be-a-kenyan/

"The latest find is a fascinating inversion of the birther conspiracy. Breitbart.com has discovered that in 1991 Barack Obama’s literary agent (who also represented New Kids on the Block) published a booklet that included a biography of the future President. The audience was “business colleagues” in the publishing industry and it was designed to promote Obama’s anticipated first book (later abandoned) called Journeys in Black and White. Here’s how it describes the author’s origins.

"Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended Columbia University and worked as a financial journalist and editor for Business International Corporation.

"The key phrase here is “was born in Kenya” – and this bio line was apparently being used as late as 2007.

Remember the “Truth Squads” in Missouri?

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/09/missouris_obama_truth_squads_2.html

"Last Tuesday, CBS affiliate Channel 4 TV News in St. Louis reported that some Missouri sheriffs and prosecutors have formed a truth squad to target anyone who engages in misleading ad or statements about Senator Obama.

"Here's the transcript of the lead on the CBS story:

"Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading television ad during the presidential campaign.”

And, has been explained by publishing insiders, promotional biography blurb ‘facts’ invariably come directly from the author or his agent. Where would an agent get info?

Your idea of a heavy coat with a place for the legs made me think of what needs to be done with the Obama Syndicate. Let’s face it. The Syndicate is dead and we need to zip it up in a body bag before the smell get too bad.
