In a pregame Super Bowl interview, President Barack Obama told Fox News's Bill O'Reilly that there was "not even a smidgen of corruption" involved in the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) targeting of conservative and Tea Party groups. Obama's bold statement stands in contrast to established facts. Even the left-leaning journalism group ProPublica has admitted that the IRS office that harassed conservative tax-exempt groups during the 2012 election cycle gave ProPublica nine confidential applications of conservative groups whose tax-exempt statuses were pending. Moreover, ProPublica noted that the documents it received were "not supposed to be made public" but that "no unapproved applications from liberal groups were sent to ProPublica."
Still, Obama chalked up the IRS scandal to mere mistakes.
"There were some bone-headed decisions," said Obama.
The president then blamed O'Reilly and Fox News for the IRS scandal.
"These kinds of things keep on surfacing in part because you and your TV station will promote them," said Obama.

Let's somehow get him under oath and let him repeat that statement. Lois Lerner was unwilling to.
“there was “not even a smidgen of corruption” involved in the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) targeting of conservative and Tea Party groups.”
This means we will get more of it, in spades.
Barack Obama...lying directly in the faces of all Americans since...forever.
Remind me again... What is it that a proven liar in all things does when asked about something evil and illegal that he has done?
I think Obama graduated Summa Cum Lauda from the Joseph Stalin School of Truth.
I don't think he's lying here.
I think he literally believes there is absolutely no corruption in using the full weight of the federal government to crush one's political opponents.
It is the Chicago way...
14 Pinnochios on a scale of 10.
Nope he was not lying there.
And, truth be told, the Obamadork was not lying when he said “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.” Why? Well, you foo....he was talking to the ILLEGAL ALIENS.
“What is it that a proven liar in all things does when asked about something evil and illegal that he has done?”
I dont know. I’ll ask an expert, bill clinton, that question and get back to you.
“Obama: ‘Not Even a Smidgen of Corruption’ in IRS Targeting of Conservatives”
Thanks Obama. Now im positive there’s plenty of corruption in the irs targeting of conservatives.
You are probably right.
the great leaders transparent habit of going into uncharacteristic language mode...was in full effect.
Red Flag Number One: FOLKS...
when hes at the biggest loss for words to cover this BS...he resorts to using the word folks
SMIDGEN....a word I doubt hes ever used before..
No Barry...Not A Smidgen...an AVALANCHE!
Obama’s pathology is that he cannot tell the truth. He lies at all times, especially when it matters. It is his illness. His lying is infecting not only the federal government but state governments as well. The country cannot survive such dishonesty for long before it begins to affect law enforcement, military preparedness, and the economy itself. It matters!
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
I expect the POS kenyan to lie about everything so no surprises or extreme anger.
What pisses me off to the core is idiot ass kisser oreilly closes with an “I know your heart is in the right place” compliment to the dictator.
Billy boy has always been an insufferable butt-lick with democrats but along with no real follow-up challenges to the kenyan lies he made it about as relevant as the Puppy Bowl without the puppies, cats, etc.
Bill-O, you have made it clear that you’re no more than a butt-lick propagandist allowing this POS to legitimize himself once again under the guise of “hard questions” and “hard reporting”.
15..
No corruption, just business as usual for the lawless presidency.
This guys cries out IMPEACHMENT
