Obama chief of staff 'knew of IRS inquiry' in April

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22604039

Senior White House aides were informed last month of an inquiry into
the US tax agency's targeting of conservative political groups, an
official has said.

President Barack Obama himself was not informed, spokesman Jay Carney
said.

Officials at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have apologised for
mistakes ahead of the 2012 election but say there was no political
motivation.

Republicans have sought to use the matter to discredit the president
just months into his second term in office.

On Monday, Mr Carney said that Mr Obama's chief of staff Denis
McDonough was informed in April of an investigation under way by the
treasury department's inspector general.

The revelation expands the circle of Obama aides who were made aware
of the IRS affair before it was first widely reported on 10 May

***********************

So the Boss wasn't told for his own good.

Why don't I believe that.

Wonder how many other messes we have out there because our President
isn't being told? Well guess we should have expected Obama wasn't up
to the job and needed baby sitting by his staff.

Is Soros out true leader?

Much has been made of the fact that senior Treasury Department
officials were told about the investigation into the treatment of
tea party groups in June 2012 — months before last year's the
Presidential election. Republicans who requested the investigation
were also told about it at approximately the same time.
...

Suddenly they're interested...

Are the Koch brothers our true leaders?

So you are claiming Obama's chief of staff Denis McDonough was a Bush
appointee?

I hope not and I hope that pig isn't either. Soros one of the 1%

Obama is a failure as President. Seems he can't keep his people under
control.

Then again that is the liberal way Plausible deniability. Well at
least in public for OBOBO.

As if the failureDuhbya could too - withness how the CIA had to admit
their intel on Iraq was wrong - costing us thousands of American
casualties and an estimated SIX trillion dollars.

Then again that is the con-servative way Plausible deniability. Well at

No kidding Sherlock. So are the majority of those actors that support
your causes so is Michael Moore and Al Gore who made 70 million by
selling your progressive media company, "Current TV" to Al Jazeera.
That tells us much about the liberal agenda.

Koch brothers along with lots of other right wing nuts. That tells us
much about cons agenda and why minorities don't support them.

Notice you couldn't defend your 1% liberals. Why did Al Gore Sell
the progressive media company, "Current TV" to Al Jazeera?

You won't answer.

So Obama wasn't the boss? Strange that. Wonder did Bush give the
order to go after conservative groups? You don't really think anyone
believes that do you?

So Duhbya wasn't the boss when this started? You just admitted the post
is independent of the President. Bummer that Duhbya put an incompetent
in charge.

Do they have a controlling interest? The terror groups will of
progressive media company, "Current TV". Then there is little
difference between liberals like Rich Travsky. Matt T and Gary and
terror groups.

Again you talk about excusing OBOBO by using Bush as his excuse. Who
has been President for over 4 years?

Yesterday morning on Fox & Friends, Fox News contributor Dan Senor
observed that The Kingdom Foundation, whose chairman Saudi Prince
Alwaleed bin Talal (Fox News-parent company News Corp�s second-largest
shareholder), is a funder for the Cordoba House Initiative.

The Cordoba Initiative is a multi-national, multi-faith organization
dedicated to improving understanding and building trust among people
of all cultures and religions.

The name Cordoba was chosen to symbolize the time in history when
Muslims, Jews and Christians lived together in peace and harmony and
created a prosperous center of intellectual, spiritual, cultural and
commercial life in the city of Cordoba in Southern Spain.

Rich Travsky doesn't like moderation like Islamist.

He is. The economy is coming back, housing is recovering, the market is
SOARING,
and we're whacking more terrorists than Duhbya did.

I do like how Obama is going after the gangs in the USA.
