It simply makes me sick. If this were a Republican administration, the lefty's would have a special prosecutors for each of the ump-teen scandals... This system needs a speedy return to the principles of our founding... Article V would facilitate that!

She was issued a new blackberry Valentine’s Day?

Nothing to see here move along. Calm before the storm and you just can't make this crap up. History will avail.

Started the EPA also. Definitely not a good economic President but certainly would not resign in the current political system.

Way back then I was talking to one of Nixon's friends. He said he told Nixon, "Go on national TV and destroy the tapes in plain sight of an audience. Tell everyone it's for national security." Nixon refused the advice.

I think we've all known, even the founders, that government, and those attracted to it, are essentially corrupt and we've all accepted a certain level of that as the 'cost of having government'. But the last three, maybe four administrations have taken us several steps too far and the true shame is we've let them. But this administration is so blatant as to just not even care to try to make the machinations and deceit believable or at least hidden behind credible deniability.

Obama promised transparency, and in a way he's given it to us -- we're beginning to see just how corrupt and insensitive to The Constitution our government truly is. And we're learning that just being left alone on a day to day basis isn't cutting it any more-we really weren't being left alone at all. We just weren't all aware.

Maybe now we're becoming aware enough. Maybe they acted a little too soon.

no fu**in woodward on it...too old for this?

Nixon was an interesting guy. When he lost in 1960 to Kennedy his team wanted to contest the election. Nixon said we can't argue that they cheated better than we did, let it go. When face with impeachment he refused to put the country thru a Constitutional crisis. Clinton had no such problem. History should be more kind to Nixon. His domestic policy was horrible but he made great strides in foreign policy.

Oops, sorry for the typo,,, It was the smart phone. (Proving that maybe a smart phone really *is* smart...)

For some 200 years, not a single one that I know of.
Unlike businesses, where they live or die based on profit from voluntary trade, big federal government agencies live or die based on theft from the use of force or the threats of.

But the acclaimed 2013 Lie Of The Year Winner promised his brittle for fragile transparency just before he turned the key to lock up his school records.
And he did say there is not a smidgeon of corruption at the IRS. Guess he should have said "period" on the end like he did when repeatedly promising we could all keep our doctors and health care plans. Oh, and he said the unaffordable Affordable Health Care Act would be cheaper too.
About six years after he promised that he would never take a vacation, he complained of being surrounded by phoney scandals.
That's OK. Our top lawman DOJ chief, Eric Holder, said all those scandals amount to a bunch of racist stuff anyway.
Has there ever been in anyone's memory so much White House related scandalous Loony Toons going on? Speaking of memory, you can hardly keep up with it, especially if you are a complacent low information voter.
The media would not allow a Republican administration to survive a smidgeon of the horrendous tons of poo hitting the fan every day.
That would be impossible.
So everything must be hunky dunky! Move along, nothing to see here! Ha! Ha! Ha! Hi, me dino. Me just make dino funny! Me now retired to a Jurassic Park paddock can hardly remember to talk the talk of the Philosophy 101 (basic logic) course I took at Bama's Troy State, but bet me still smarter than most USA voters. Heck, I know it.

He had too much integrity. Then, I would have questioned it, but compared to what we have now, he was a pretty stand-up guy. (And compared to what we have, he was *not* a crook.)

Maybe that was it - he was really a time traveler from the future, and knowing what was to come, what he was doing was "business as usual"...

Name one agency Congress has ever eliminated.

No, we the people will have to do that.

I though that after the Clinton Administration, Washington insiders could sink no lower. Bush didn't raise the level of integrity, but I figured when Obama got in, we were already scraping the bottom. Was I ever wrong! This regime has sunk below the bottom if such a thing is possible. It's not only the fact that there's scandal after scandal, but scandal on top of scandal, and it is done with such arrogance and disdain for public perception that makes the frustration of having to endure their existence intolerable.

Hello? Is anyone paying attention to what is going on? (I mean looters and sleepwalkers, of course.). Just one of obummers numerous scandals would have impeached any other president. If he was Republican, they would probably have lynched him!

And the strings are ALMOST invisible.

+1. It may take a free-lancer to wake up the competition.

There is a huge opportunity in this IRS scandal for a few investigative journalists to catapult their careers. There is plenty of chum in the water....

I wonder now why Nixon resigned. I guess he should have destroyed all of the tapes.

Although, I think, like the Kraken it has become, it would be better to lop off it's heads. End it once and for all, and let that dependent on it to wither, thence to die, dry up, and blow away.

After which, the People should be the Herbicide (Insecticide? Politicide?) , applied liberally and without reservation, to its little attempted offspring, to keep its evil head from re-sprouting...

(And strangely enough - we just watched a rerun of the Little Shop of Horrors night before last on TV...)

I was not an IRS investigator, I was/am a Private Investigator.
