Lies, more lies and damn lies. Use the life boats, it's too deep for hip boots

[allmendream]

The phrase is “plausible deniability”. One reason why, while Bush received his daily intelligence briefing in person, 0bama always has them leave it for him to presumably read. Anything he later didn't want to know he can say he didn't read it that day.

[MestaMachine]

Yeah. jaz. They put a note in a sealed envelope on his desk that read, “Do Not Open Until Christmas.”...or ramadan or whatever.

Carney: “To be clear, we knew the subject of the investigation and we knew of the nature of some of the potential findings, but we did not have a copy of the draft report,” he said. “We did not know the details, the scope or the motivation surrounding the misconduct, and we did not know who was responsible.”

In other words, "Hell yes we knew." Carney's doing a fox trot on the head of a pin here. With his pants down.

[PeevedPatriot]

What his aides did or didn’t tell him doesn’t change the fact that Obama has referred to Tea Party and other conservatives as enemies and slurred them as “teabaggers” or “bitter clingers,” etc. Did he object to J-Nap and DHS singling out Tea Party types and prolifers as elevated risks for domestic terrorism? Even if it’s true he was ill informed, it’s also true that he’s demonized most conservatives to such a degree that a person could reasonably conclude he would approve of the way the IRS has treated them (except for getting caught doing it).

[InterceptPoint]

They are sticking to the idea that nothing can interfere with an “ongoing investigation” and that includes actually working to fix the problem.

A one year investigation just means you keep discriminating against those Tea Party groups for another year.

What nonsense is this?

[LibFreeUSA]

Nice. The country’s getting screwed. Let’s not tell the President until he finds out about it on CNN.

[verga]

I call BULLSH!T

[jeffc]

Keep “insulating” Zero and he will have no clue as to what’s going on. How can we accept someone like that as President? Isn’t this what the libs and the “media” accused Reagan of being: “out-of-touch”? Sure seems like ol’ Barry is being kept out of touch......

[LibFreeUSA]

" Mr. Obama has said he will not tolerate the political targeting by the IRS"

But, HE WILL TOLERATE HIS PEOPLE NOT TELLING HIM about it until the news media finds out!

[GregNH]

So Lerner has Roady ask a "planted" question to "break" the story and the WH finds out about it the same way we did?

Get her in front of Congress and ask her who told her now was a good time to break this story.

"Are we to believe Ms Lerner that you were about to go public with a huge scandal involving the purely political actions of the IRS and you were not consulted or did not consult the White House?

[MaxMax]

Oh, well, It's all ok then. Obama for Despot!

Apparently Obama doesn't know a damn thing about anything happening in his Administration.
Thank goodness too, because he would be in trouble if he DID.
Lying sack of shit.

[Venturer]

He met with the President of the IRS Union.

Of course he knew. He gave her instructions when they met.

Jail her she will squeal.

[Mr. K]

"Top White House aides first learned of a draft report detailing IRS abuses in targeting conservative groups in late April, but they chose to insulate President Obama by not informing him until it exploded in the press, the president’s spokesman said Monday. "

I swear right there at that line I had to go check if this was The Onion or Semi-News ..."

[LeoWindhorse]

they struggle to protect the teflon racoon

[Walmartian]

It’s much easier to stand on the ground and tell the truth than it is to climb a tree and tell a lie.

[Nervous Tick]

I could swear that the last time we heard from this fleck of butt mucus, NO ONE in the WH knew anything about this.

Disgusting lying sack of I better stop there.

[SkyDancer]

That’s like an executive officer on a ship holding back information from the captain so he won’t get in trouble.

[Rusty0604]

Most likely a lie, but a good employee always informs their boos of anything they might need to know about. I always told my employees this and I did so for my boss. So it’s still incompetance for Obama as an administrator. We can’t have that for a president.

[True Grit]

How many times have the liars changed their talking points??? First no one in White House knew anything. Then maybe one person knew........Then maybe they mentioned it to one other person. Now......the whole damn White House knew what was going on from day one. Incompetent bunch of lying crooks make a Chinese fire drill look organized.
