The Peter Unprincipled

Sarah Hall IngramMeet 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.

Another Day…

IRS Goons

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.

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.

President Obama Speaks On Homeland Security's Announcement About Deportations

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

Barack Obama Is A SCOAMF

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.)

Obama Hearts Kermit Gosnell

Obama Hearts AbortionistsWell, 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.
