LENO Takes Some Shots

President Obama was down in Texas on his “Middle-class jobs and opportunity tour.” Don’t confuse that with his first term. That was the “Middle-class jobs and MISSED opportunity tour.”

While President Obama was in Texas, he told people to “Remember the Alamo and forget about Benghazi.”

I was going to start off tonight with an Obama joke, but I don’t want to get audited by the IRS, so forget that.

The IRS has admitted that they targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny. That’s why Mitt Romney wanted to be president so bad — to keep the IRS off his back.

The heat wave is continuing. There are warnings this could be a long, hot summer and they are telling everyone to cover up. Believe me. You don’t have to tell the Obama White House twice. They know all about covering up.

Today the White House unveiled its latest high-tech weapon: the IRS audit.

I love what IRS commissioner Steve Miller said today about this whole targeting conservative groups thing. He said, “Mistakes were made, but they were in no way made with a political or partisan motivation.” Yeah, “Mistakes were made” — try saying THAT during your next IRS audit.

First it was Benghazi, then the IRS scandal, and now this phone records scandal. Remember the old days when President Obama’s biggest embarrassment was Joe Biden? What happened to those days?

This week marks the 40th anniversary of the Watergate hearings. For those of you too young to remember, back then the administration had an enemies list. They were spying on reporters, and they used the IRS to harass groups they didn’t like. Thank God those days are gone forever.

A lot of critics are comparing President Obama to President Richard Nixon, which is unfair. Nixon’s unemployment rate was only 5 percent.

This whole IRS thing has become a huge story. They apparently were targeting conservative groups like the tea party. You know it’s bad when President Obama says, “Hey, why don’t we talk about Benghazi?”

The National Aquarium in Washington is going to close. But don’t worry. If you’re in D.C. and you still want to smell something fishy, stop by the White House. They’ve gone from “Change you can believe in” to “Changing the story until you believe it.”

This week will mark the 37th time House Republicans have tried to repeal Obamacare. If Republicans really wanted to do away with Obamacare they should just endorse it as a conservative non-profit and let the IRS take it down.

President Obama announced the appointment of a new acting commissioner of the IRS — the other guy was fired. See, they’re called “acting commissioner” because you have to act like the scandal doesn’t involve the White House.

A lot of critics are now comparing President Obama to President Nixon. The good news for Obama? At least he’s no longer being compared to President Carter.

It has not been a good week for President Obama. You’ve got Benghazi, the IRS scandal, this AP records scandal, and, worst of all, his Chicago Bulls got eliminated by the Miami Heat. Do you know what that means? LeBron James is going to get audited by the IRS.

Intim-O-gate

Anonymous IRS official -- everything comes from the top...
McConnell: 'There is culture of intimidation throughout administration'...

I return you to your usual Jim Crow programming, brought to you by Obama and the party of racism in America the Democrta party. Where soon Obama will remnd us he is a black man. Well half black, but who is counting.

Oh yeah here it is … ‘I’M A BLACK MAN’ For the sins of the Racists Democrats, see Jim Crow … the governors who enacted Jim Crow laws were All Democrats … And yes they were the ones who hoisted the stars and bars over their Statehouses. Look it up, if you dare. And while you are at it, look up the KKK, the Democrat Party’s orgininal domestic terror group. Remember Abe Lincoln was the original first Republican President.

Right on schedule!!!

I Know Nothing

Yep, I think so … When Government Gets Really Big … I knows nothing.

KIMBERLY STRASSEL: The IRS Scandal Started At The Top.

Related: Obama was just joking about IRS audits, not sending signals.

I knows nothing about anything.

Maybe if we just cut the size of government by say, half as a first step ???

Close the IRS they are nothing more than a bunch of Democrats with no particular thing useful to do … FLAT TAX and they go poof.

Obama Assures America He Knows Nothing!!!

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS BECOME THE STUFF OF NEW YORKER SATIRE: Obama Denies Role in Government.

President Obama used his weekly radio address on Saturday to reassure the American people that he has “played no role whatsoever” in the U.S. government over the past four years.

“Right now, many of you are angry at the government, and no one is angrier than I am,” he said. “Quite frankly, I am glad that I have had no involvement in such an organization.”

The President’s outrage only increased, he said, when he “recently became aware of a part of that government called the Department of Justice.”

“The more I learn about the activities of these individuals, the more certain I am that I would not want to be associated with them,” he said. “They sound like bad news.”

Mr. Obama closed his address by indicating that beginning next week he would enforce what he called a “zero tolerance policy on governing.”

Well, that would be an improvement.

Obama Worse For Press Freedom Than Nixon: Goodale

There is that NiXON comparison again.

James Goodale, who represented the New York Times in the Pentagon Papers case, tells Reuters Global Editor-at-Large Sir Harold Evans that President Obama is fast becoming the worst president ever when it comes to defending freedom of the press.

Goodale is the author of “Fighting for the Press: The Inside Story of the Pentagon Papers and Other Battles.”

The Obama record:
** Worst jobs president since the Great Depression.
** Worst recovery in history
** Blew a trillion dollars on a failed stimulus
** Lost or losing two wars
** Four straight years of trillion dollar deficits
** Most Americans on food stamps
** Most Americans on disability
** Most Americans to leave workforce
And on, and on, and on.

Now this … Reuters headline:
Obama worse for press freedom than Nixon: Goodale

 

From the video: James Goodale, who represented the New York Times in the Pentagon Papers case, tells Reuters Global Editor-at-Large Sir Harold Evans that President Obama is fast becoming the worst president ever when it comes to defending freedom of the press.

New grads pay attention … The debt he has recklessly run up — It’s all yours.

IRS Asks Tea Party Organization to Detail It’s Prayers

QUESTIONS: “Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers.”

In the Obama era, the question isn’t whether you’re paranoid. It’s whether you’re paranoid enough.

 

The Economy

TWEET OF THE DAY: “These scandals are so bad that for the first time Obama wants to talk about the economy.”

 

Treasury Knew of I.R.S. Inquiry in 2012, Official Says

You have to either be stoned or dead to not think Obama knew what his government was doing to the Tea Party.

From The New York Times…

The Treasury Department’s inspector general told senior Treasury officials in June 2012 he was investigating the Internal Revenue Service’s screening of politically active organizations seeking tax exemptions, disclosing for the first time on Friday that Obama administration officials were aware of the matter during the presidential campaign year.

Release Of Benghazi Emails Only Generated More Calls For Additional Records

Who thought releasing about .4% (94) of the 25,000 emails was going to stop anything.

Smell of blood …

 

The press has their hounds on the blood trail … Why not, we got to protect the Obama …

POLITICO: Release of Benghazi emails ‘only generated GOP calls for additional records’…

Release them all, there are days missing in the emails records that were released. And now today, Obama says back-off on Benghazi. Why? We want to know who issued the stand down orders, and why!!! How our people got killed and for what? What is being covered-up? I don’t think the truth is know, and you can’t keep us from it.

In the three weeks since the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and the murder of U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans conservatives have become increasingly critical of the administration’s handling of the site’s security and the post-attack investigation.

Libya was an Al Qaeda hell hole from the beginning.  Sir you know you were giving weapons to Al Qaeda, don’t you …
