The Intimidator

The Washington Post – the Washington Post! – is reporting Eric Holder’s DoJ was spying on Fox News reporter James Rosen in 2010 as he was working on a story about North Korea.

The Department of Justice. There’s a contradiction of terms.

When the Justice Department began investigating possible leaks of classified information about North Korea in 2009, investigators did more than obtain telephone records of a working journalist suspected of receiving the secret material.

They used security badge access records to track the reporter’s comings and goings from the State Department, according to a newly obtained court affidavit. They traced the timing of his calls with a State Department security adviser suspected of sharing the classified report. They obtained a search warrant for the reporter’s personal e-mails.

In fairness, the First Amendment is only a suggestion to these people…

Meet Sarah Hall Ingram. Ingram was the woman responsible for the IRS scandal – the one who targeted conservative groups for additional review. You would think Obama would throw Ingram out on her ear.

You would be wrong.

The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of the tax-exempt organizations at the time when the unit targeted tea party groups now runs the IRS office responsible for the health care legislation.

Sarah Hall Ingram served as commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012. But Ingram has since left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act office, the IRS confirmed to ABC News today.

Her successor, Joseph Grant, is taking the fall for misdeeds at the scandal-plagued unit between 2010 and 2012. During at least part of that time, Grant served as deputy commissioner of the tax-exempt unit. Grant announced today that he would retire June 3, despite being appointed as commissioner of the tax-exempt office May 8, a week ago.

So not only is Ingram not fired, but the “president” also decided to reward her with control of ObamaCare enforcement… and the largest national database ever. What could go wrong?

Oh: Ingram received $130,390 in bonuses for her work at the IRS. I’m sure this is just a coincidence.

Double Oh: Apparently, the IRS knew about this scandal before the 2012 election, and made a conscious decision to not report it. Again, just a co-inky-dink.

Obama To America: “F**k You”

Reports claim Susan Rice, the woman who appeared on national television five times and lied to the American people about a YouTube video, will be appointed National Security Advisor.

Ha, that’s good one! This is simply a sick, twisted remake of Candid Camera, right?

Insiders with ties to the Obama administration tell The Cable that U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice has become the heir apparent to National Security Advisor Tom Donilon — a post at the epicenter of foreign-policy decision making and arguably more influential than secretary of state, a job for which she withdrew her candidacy last fall amid severe political pressure.

“It’s definitely happening,” a source who recently spoke with Rice told The Cable. “She is sure she is coming and so too her husband and closest friends.”

The president himself has gone out of his way to wink at an expanded role for Rice within his administration. “I have every confidence that Susan has limitless capability to serve our country now and in the years to come, and know that I will continue to rely on her as an advisor and friend,” Obama said in a December statement.

Make no mistake: this is Obama’s big middle finger to his critics, and to the American people. Rice lied, Obama knows she lied, and he is still going to appoint her, just for spite.

Rice lied on national television five times about the motivation surrounding the Benghazi attacks. FIVE. TIMES. I guess when you surround yourself with domestic terrorists and racist preachers, a compulsive liar doesn’t seem so bad.

Another Obama administration scandal. This time, IRS agents accessed 60 million personal medical records, without probable cause, and without a warrant.

If I did this, I would be fired and/or arrested.

In a story by Erin McCann of Healthcare IT News the IRS is alleged to have improperly accessed some 60 million medical records from 10 million Americans, including medical records of all California state judges.

According to a story by Courthousenews.com an unnamed healthcare provider in California is bringing the lawsuit against the IRS and 15 of its agents. The personal health information was allegedly seized by the IRS on March 11, 2011. The medical records included information on psychological counseling, gynecological counseling, sexual and drug treatment, and other sensitive medical treatment data.

“This is an action involving the corruption and abuse of power by several Internal Revenue Service agents,” the complaint reads.

“No search warrant authorized the seizure of these records; no subpoena authorized the seizure of these records; none of the 10,000,000 Americans were under any kind of known criminal or civil investigation and their medical records had no relevance whatsoever to the IRS search. IT personnel at the scene, a HIPPA facility warning on the building and the IT portion of the searched premises, and the company executives each warned the IRS agents of these privileged records,” it continued. (H/T – Realwest)

In fairness, this “president” has shown contempt for both the First and Second Amendments. Why not burn the Fourth, as well?

UPDATE: I mentioned this in the comments, but it bears repeating here. Today, Obama claimed he asked for the resignation of IRS Chief Steven Miller, and received it. According to the UK Daily Mail, Miller was already set to leave in June. Wow. Just wow.

It’s my day off and I’m exhausted, so I figured I would throw this in – courtesy of Drew M. at Ace of Spades – because Drew highlights the scandals better than anyone. An excerpt:

1) Obama Sics IRS On Conservatives and Jews. This is the most serious of scandals because it’s an abuse of power that clearly crossing any concept of decency and legality. The idea of using one of the most powerful domestic agencies to deter political activities is such a clear abuse of power, it was once included in an Article of Impeachment.

The Jewish angle has not been publicized as much, but still damning. There’s more below.

Obama To America: FYNQ

8 Replies

During today’s presser, Barack Obama called the Benghazi hearings a “sideshow.” I wonder if the families of Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Ty Woods, and Glen Doherty would agree?

At a press conference today at the White House, President Obama said “There’s no there there” on criticism of how his administration handled the Benghazi terror attack:

“And suddenly three days ago this gets spun up as if there’s something new to the story,” Obama said in response to a question about Benghazi. “There’s no there there.”

The president continued, “Keep in mind by the way these so-called talking points that were prepared for Susan Rice, five, six days after the event occurred, pretty much matched the assessments that I was receiving at that time in my presidential daily briefing.”

This guy is simply the most arrogant president in the history of our country. I truly despise him. (Oh, and you can look up “FYNQ” on your own.)

Slow Down, What’s The Russia?

Remember way back in 2008 when Barack Obama promised to rebuild our relationships with Europe and Asia? America was arrogant – thanks to Booooosh – and he was going to make the world love us again.

Then, in 2009, ~~Secretary~~ Stooge of State Hillary Clinton went so far as to present the Russian Foreign Minister with a ridiculous “reset button.”

Looks like both measures worked extraordinarily well.

Putin is known for keeping people waiting. He kept President Obama waiting for hours at Los Cabos last year. To give you an idea what Putin’s been up to today aside from his meeting with Secretary Kerry: it’s the one year anniversary of his inauguration and he marked the occasion by publicly berating the Cabinet for not doing enough.

Putin made Kerry wait for three hours. THREE HOURS! Don’t worry, John; I’m sure you can still gallop home with your self-respect intact.

Or not.

Hillary To Counterterror Officials: Drop Dead

A whistleblower witness to September’s Benghazi terror attacks is claiming then-Secretary of State cut counterterror officials out of the loop as the incident unfolded; a decision that probably cost American lives.

I think it’s safe to say Clinton’s presidential aspirations are now effectively destroyed.

On the night of Sept. 11, as the Obama administration scrambled to respond to the Benghazi terror attacks, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a key aide effectively tried to cut the department’s own counterterrorism bureau out of the chain of reporting and decision-making, according to a “whistle-blower” witness from that bureau who will soon testify to the charge before Congress, Fox News has learned.

That witness is Mark I. Thompson, a former Marine and now the deputy coordinator for operations in the agency’s counterterrorism bureau. [T]he veteran counterterrorism official concluded on Sept. 11 that Clinton and Kennedy tried to cut the counterterrorism bureau out of the loop as they and other Obama administration officials weighed how to respond to — and characterize — the Benghazi attacks.

If you remember, Clinton blamed the attack on protests resulting from a YouTube video; a video no one saw. That excuse was a complete fabrication, and the video creator’s life was virtually destroyed by the Obama administration.

This despicable coverup occurred because Barack Obama had an election to win. But hey, “what difference at this point does it make?”

Meet Buena Vista Township (MI) Clerk Gloria Platko. Gloria likes long walks on the beach, fancy Democrat fundraisers, and calling African-Americans the N-word.

Thankfully, Platko publicly apologized, and reminded us that some of her best friends are black people. Seriously.

Buena Vista Township Clerk Gloria Platko is resisting demands that she step down after another local official, Interim Township Manager Dexter Mitchell (a Democrat), taped a phone conversation in which Platko referred to Township Supervisor Dwayne Parker (also a Democrat) as “an arrogant nigger.”

Knowing what you know about Democrats, do you think Platko will ever resign?

[Platko] told local NBC 25 reporter Walter Smith-Randolph that she was “sorry to my five other board members, and I’m entirely sorry to this entire community,” but added that “I’ve eaten Thanksgiving dinner with black friends at their house. So I’m far from prejudiced. You need to go interview some of the black people who have supported me for the last four or five years.”

Smith-Randolph added “Platko says she’s not going anywhere because she was baited…”

Platko probably thinks Smith-Randolph – A BLACK MAN – baited her, too, as part of the vast black-wing conspiracy. Or something.

Obama Hearts Kermit Gosnell

Well, if not him, specifically, the “president” generally loves Gosnell’s contemporaries. In fact, he loves the licensed butchers so much that he will not only break ~~necks~~ bread with them, but also raise money for them.

Amid new concerns about the brutality of illegal forms of abortions, President Obama plans to deliver the keynote address at Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s annual fundraising dinner Thursday.

The theme of the dinner, to be held in Washington, is a “Time for Care,” organizers announced. Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards said Mr. Obama has done more than any president in history for women’s health and rights so she is delighted to have him help promote the gala dinner with his presence.

Abortion opponents quickly seized on the news, arguing that Mr. Obama should rescind his agreement to speak or even attend the dinner, considering the gruesome revelations emanating from the trial of Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell.

Yeah… here’s the thing about that. First of all, Obama most likely hasn’t seen the Gosnell story. It has been virtually blacked out by the media. Snipping the spines of newborns with a dull pair of scissors isn’t news, and even if it was, Gosnell was aborting black babies, so the MSM couldn’t care less.

Second of all, he fully supported many of Gosnell’s despicable practices when he was an Illinois state senator. Partial-birth abortions for all! Born alive? Let ‘em die; they knew the risks!

The fact of the matter is that Barack Obama is very comfortable consorting with murderers and terrorists; whether it be Bill Ayers, the Muslim Brotherhood, or Planned Parenthood abortionists.
