Congress acted stupidly

Obama defends IRS, says tea party targeting didn’t happen

...the president said he’s not to blame, using the IRS as an example of where what went wrong wasn’t his fault, and questioning whether tea party groups were ever targeted.

Mr. Obama said Congress “passed a crummy law” that provided vague guidance to the people who worked at the IRS. And he said that employees implemented the law “poorly and stupidly.”

The president went on to say that the “real scandal around the IRS is that they have been so poorly funded that they cannot go after these folks who are deliberately avoiding tax payments.”

Congress, prodded by Republican leaders, has sliced money from the IRS, saying it’s punishment for wasteful spending and for the targeting scandal.

This guy is so unbelievably ridiculous.  :thatsright:

Leave it to a lib to flatly deny the most obvious reality.

If there was no illegality or impropriety, why does he need to say he's not to blame? If there was no targeting, there is no blame to affix to anyone. He's trying to have it both ways.

He's never to blame.  He hasn't accepted an ounce of responsibility since he took office; it's always someone else's fault.

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

Sounds to me like he's trying to get out ahead of something to control the narrative.

He seems to have been remarkably vague about which law he was talking about, so as to imply it was the current Congress, which is patently impossible given when the problems surfaced.  On top of that, almost ALL tax statutory law is purposely phrased in broad terms (Unless it's a tax break framed for somebody's key contributor that gets pork-barreled into the final bill), the detailed specifics are always products of the subsequent IRS implementing regulations.

The usual suspects that Barry screams about to the msm tend to include Bush, Bible clingers, Gun clingers, the tea party, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and YouTube.

Oh, you mean folks like Melissa Harris-Perry, Toure Neblett, Joy-Ann Reid, and Al Sharpton?

Yet the IRS COULD afford to go after conservative groups?

We are supposed to forget that Lerner pled the 5th?

Not a smidgen, huh?
