Well my point was Obama knew that he was dictating the change of direction. He won in 2008. Was getting his people into place. While always going after the Repubs. So yeah he was cleaning house. Plus setting the tone for the change up. His Administration. Which his people knew his agenda.
2009 rolls along Team Obama is in play. AmeriCorps was being investigated. Obama finds out and s**t cans the IG after his findings on his buddy. Grassley and the Media Carries it all into 2010. While pointing out that Obama didn't even have any grounds to fire the IG over. Other than he lost confidence in the man. What a crock a s**t. Then True the Vote takes place. "Why" them first. Well their Platform says it all. Election Fraud and that's what they were talking about. So Naturally The Democrats are going to panic. Can't have more groups out there solely focused on Election fraud and be a Conservative Group from the Right garnering up more money. That could upset the Demo Applecart. Which now we know who sent letters to the IRS. As well as Levin's intention to hold a Committee hearing over why the had failed to address the Demos Side of the issue.
Unfortunately one can always go and blame the Previous Administration......talk about what they did was wrong. Use that as the rational and excuse. That, because it was done before. That none should say anything about it. That they should accept this is the way things are. Busssssh......5years later. Buussssh its what he did. Busssssh the same ignoramus that all the left claims is a dunce. Buuuush policy destroyed us. Despite most of Clintons S**t taking affect all throughout Buuuuuusssh time.
Also yeah it was a crappy firing but Obama didn't fail to stop the investigation.....he just came in on the end of it, after the IG had already made its discovery and findings of The Mayor of Sacramento. Which naturally with the Media Coverage and Grassley being aware, Johnson would do the Right thing and pay back the money.
You didn't think that The Mayor of Sacramento would be highlighted in National Coverage and just think he could walk away from the issue.....now did you? That he could say screw it and not pay the money back.....Right? Kinda Hard for Obama to stop what he knew was being reported to the media and Walpin. That would look like direct interference into an Investigation. Which is why Obama waited until it concluded to make his move. Which again shows he is aware of things in the beginning of 2010. At least with the IRS and this issue.
My thinking is he doesn't know what was going down with the Justice Dept. That falls on Holder and the Democrats. Like Schumer, Welch, and any other Democrats that were sending letters and Emails to the IRS over it. I would even check those Pol's phone records to see if calls were made. Course I would play it fair and go after any Repubs that were trying to do it to the Democrats.
Which to me.....getting rid of the Two party system. Just seems more and more like the Right thing to do. Then maybe we wont have to worry as much about such an Issue.
You can't blame this on the President.. well you can, but then you wouldn't be correct.
If the President was going to go after 501(c)(4)'s why would he not have made a push to shutdown the organizations that were spending all of the money? An even better question, why would the Republicans ignore treasury reports that this was going on? Why would the scandal hungry House Republicans sit on this story while at the same time flogging faux scandals like “Fast and Furious”. Generally you can trust people to act in their own interest, this is especially true for politicians.
I think everyone ignored this until now because they either didn't believe it, or didn't mind. In other words the IRS did this on their own, but no one cared.
No one likes the Tea Party. Yes, the GOP needs their votes and their excitement, but the GOP loses seats every time a Tea Party member opens their mouth. Without the Tea Party we'd almost certainly have a GOP controlled Senate. If conservative donors want to donate anonymously, then GOP groups want to make sure that those donations go to big groups that they can control. The GOP doesn't want independent grassroots Tea Party groups involved in anything other than donating and voting.
Look at how much dark money has moved through 501(c) status organizations. Liberals aren't going to rock the boat while conservative groups are being targeted, and conservatives aren't going to complain when grassroots Tea Party groups are being shut down.
