Today Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI), the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, confirmed that 100% of the established 501(c)(4) groups the IRS selected for audit were conservative. But Obama says their was not a smidgen of corruption in the IRS. The Wall Street Journal reported:
A Republican House committee chairman said the Internal Revenue Service targeted tax-exempt conservative groups for audits, widening the scope of GOP ire over the agencys oversight of political activities.
House Democrats pushed back, saying Republicans were seeking to use the IRS controversy to score political points with their conservative base in an election year.
The IRS has been under scrutiny since an inspector generals report last May found that the agency had targeted conservative groups for lengthy and heavy-handed review of their applications to become tax-exempt organizations under section 501(c) 4 of the tax code. The controversy led to significant management shakeups at the IRS and generated a slew of congressional investigations, some of which are still going on.
On Tuesday, House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R., Mich.) said his committees continuing investigation has found that the IRS also singled out established conservative tax-exempt groups for audits.

Issa. We all see people like this in life. Someone who manages to look busy and impressing others while never actually accomplishing anything.

Although Speaker John Boehner has lost EVERY battle with the Obamacrats Objection. This statement implies Boehner has actually ever tried to fight a battle instead of folding and promising to fight "at the right time".

That’s part and parcel of the leftist ideology.
In their ideology, there is no reason to attain government power if you aren’t going to use it to punish your enemies and reward friends.

What should happen is that everyone that works for the IRS, top to bottom down to the janitor needs fired,
and all re-hires must go through an congressional background check scrutinizing their past political activity and activism before being allowed a position of power within the IRS where, by their actions, they can deprive any citizen of property or liberty.

If you notice how Obama speaks, he usually means exactly the opposite of what you *think* he is saying.
