President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he was "angry" at IRS officials who inappropriately targeted conservative groups for scrutiny, announcing that his administration had sought and accepted Steven Miller's resignation as interim commissioner of the IRS.
"I've reviewed the Treasury Department watchdog's report, and the misconduct that it uncovered was inexcusable," Obama said in a statement at the White House. "It's inexcusable, and Americans are right to be angry about it, and I'm angry about it."
Saying he won't tolerate this sort of behavior from an agency, especially the IRS, President Barack Obama announces the resignation of the acting IRS commissioner and the implementation of measures to prevent such activity again.
The president said that he expected the IRS to act with even higher levels of integrity than other government agencies and that, to that end, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew had sought and accepted Miller's resignation — something many Republicans had demanded.

Hussein should be the new 'Late Night' host.
Oops! Just learned that Miller’s term was up in early June. He was already scheduled to be be out soon. He will still be there for a couple more weeks. AND he will testify as scheduled.
But he was only appointed in 2012.
This is a smoke screen
No more room under the bus
“Inexcusable” to be found out!
Right. A mere resignation doesn’t cut it. Until they start putting offenders in prison it is all crap.
So Zer0, when is your best butt bud Erich H0necker (head of the STASI) going to go?
Crocodile tears. It was his idea right along.
Obama’s IRS locked out 500 conservative tea party groups out of contributing to the 2012 election . So democrats/socialists stole the Senate and the presidency by intimidating would be conservative donors and groups into not participating. Obama’s IRS denied conservatives the right to participate in the election and politics. and they stole the election to further damage America and its people
It’s Obama ‘s IRS . So Obama must resign
Drives me bananas how this guy lies. What am I, a child?
Obama pledges to investigate...HIMSELF? Really, Dude?
Why the upset? IRS was only doing what Barry’s Democrat Senators demanded they do.
It’s easy to make someone resign AFTER Obozo benefited from obtaining information on his enemies through the IRS.
I call him The Space Cowboy
I have a bridge for sale to anyone who thinks Obama is angry about Conservatives being screwed by the IRS.
He is angry they got caught.
well it is smoke, but it will not screen anything. LOL
... Steven Miller is now claiming that he’s leaving because his assignment ends in early June not because he was asked to resign by Obama!
So as it stands he just won’t be seeking another term with the IRS. I’m sure the Prez with a fez knew this all along and just staged today’s event for public and media consumption.
No, no, he’s a gangster of love.
well it is smoke, but it will not screen anything. LOL
The wheel wells are getting clogged up with the corpses, excuse me, corpse men and women, obongo keeps throwing under the bus.
