Did Obama and IRS Union Boss Talk Tea Party? WH Won’t Say
Cybercast News Service ^ | 5/20/2013 | Fred Lucas

Posted on 05/20/2013 4:24:22 PM PDT by markomalley

The head of the National Treasury Employee Union (NTEU), which represents employees of the Internal Revenue Service, met with President Barack Obama in the White House one day before the manager of the IRS’s “Technical Unit” suggested establishing a “Sensitive Case Report” for the tax-exempt status applications of Tea Party groups, according to data from the official White House visitor log and the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.

The White House visitor log shows that NTEU President Colleen Kelley met with Obama--“POTUS,” President of the United States--on March 31, 2010.

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration report on the IRS's targeting of the tax-exempt applications of Tea Party groups for heightened scrutiny includes a "Comprehensive Timeline of Events" that outlines the IRS actions in this matter over the course of more than two years. The fourth item in this timeline says that on “April 1-2, 2010,” the "new Acting Manager, Technical Unit, suggested the need for a Sensitive Case Report on the Tea Party cases. The Determinations Unit Program Manager agreed.”

In a May 20 article, The American Spectator’s Jeffrey Lord first noted the chronological proximity of Obama's meeting with the NTEU's Collins (based on the White House log) and the action by the manager of the IRS's Technical Unit, based on the IG report.

If the WH won’t say it means they did..and maybe we can finally get down to the nitty gritty of what Obama knew.

This will be the most open, transparent, accessible administration in the history of this country.

Yeah...right...Hope you idiots are enjoying the free cell phones we productive people bought you. Try using them to hear all the lies your leader is foisting on the public.

Sure. Do it through the union, not the normal chain of command. Of course, if anybody finds out...

Not that it will stop people who are too lazy to do their own research from flying off the handle, but there is no evidence that Kelly (that's her name, not Collins) had a "meeting with" Obama. She was at the White House for a "Workplace Flexibility Forum."

The whole story about Kelly meeting with Obama in the White House is based on nothing more than the WH visitor logs. Those logs are available online. You can look at them yourself, and see that, in addition to Kelly, there are 116 other people who visited the OEOB on 3/31/10 for the "Workplace Flexibility Forum." You can see what time each person signed in (all ~1200). You can see what time each person signed out (all ~1700-1730).

She's actually standing next to the Myron with the zitty forehead, but you can't see her because she's wearing jungle cammos.

Tea Party Groups-hard to tell as there are so many of them
Focus on the Family & other Christian groups
Pro-life groups
Glenn Beck was audited personally

The groups are just now beginning to compare notes. They probably thought they were alone in the targeting/auditing/questioning/strong-arming.

The questions asked were definitely after Christians and conservatives. Disgusting.

100% of groups with “Tea Party” in their name.

The IRS is admitting to 500 Tea Party groups targeted. That may not be all, but it's probably most of them.

Dude, she was marked down as visiting POTUS, and has visited the White House eleven times in all.
