The Doofus Incompetant in the WhiteHouse-Muscatine IA-Muscatine

I guess, at some point, the ignorance of the law and the Constitution becomes so brazen that people hardly notice anymore. And so the White House can pretty much start doing whatever it pleases.

Last night, President Obama subverted a Justice Department investigation. Yeah, he did.

During the back rub of an interview the president received from Chris Matthews Thursday night, Obama, while decrying the routine practice of journalism – it focuses on too many bad things, he whined – wandered into a declaration that the IRS targeted conservative groups for “bureaucratic reasons” – as opposed to a criminal reasons – and that agents weren’t intentionally singling out “Tea Party folks.”

If on the other hand, you’ve got an office in Cincinnati in the IRS office that I think for bureaucratic reasons is trying to streamline what a difficult law to interpret about whether non-profit is actually a political organization deserves a tax exempt agency , and they’ve got a list, suddenly everybody’s outraged.

By the way, Chris, I’ll point out that there are some called progressives perceived to be liberal commentators who during that week were just outraged at the possibility that these folks had been at the direction of the Democratic Party in some way discriminated against tea party folks. That is what gets news, what gets attention.

If this sounds like mere typical Obama indignation, let me remind you of something. The Justice Department is currently investigating whether crimes were committed by IRS officials in this affair.

Pretend you’re a career DOJ investigator who is trying to take the probe seriously, and you’re attemptng to find out if there was criminal behavior as IRS agents zeroed in on the tax status of groups opposed to the reelection of the president of the United States.

Well, the boss just gave you your answer. So please, do stand down.

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: And this is after he's argued for basically half a decade now in office that government is the font of American enterprise and success -- if you built it, it's not you, it's the government. It's just amazing that right now in the beginning, well, middle of his second term, he says there's a real problem here with the big agencies. Some of which are outdated and not designed properly. So he discovers this three years after he decided to pass a bill that would consign a sixth of the U.S. economy, the entire ecosystem of American medicine, into the hands of precisely an outdated and improperly designed bureaucracy, i.e., HHS. It's interesting how he discovers everything late. A month ago, in the press conference he held where he apologized, sort of semi-apologized, he said he hadn't quite realized how hard it is to purchase health insurance. And this is, of course, after he nationalizes the purchase of health insurance. This reminds me of a time when after -- remember he said he had discovered there are no shovel-ready jobs? But he discovers that after he passes a $1 trillion spending billion on the argument that there are all these shovel-ready jobs out there that will stimulate a depressed economy. It's as if this guy discovers everything late, as if he wandered into the White House on a White House tour and discovered himself in the Oval Office as president. December 7th 2013 Report Reply

Isn't it amazing that Charles has the same 26 letters of the alphabet as you and I and puts them together in such fine form? He cuts thru all the lib bs and makes the issue chrystal clear. I admire that man immensely. December 7th 2013 Report Reply
