Full blown panic mode

[jon_berzerk]

Statement by the President 8:30 p.m. tonight

I have now had the opportunity to review the Treasury Department watchdog’s report on its investigation of IRS personnel who improperly targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status. And the report’s findings are intolerable and inexcusable. The federal government must conduct itself in a way that’s worthy of the public’s trust, and that’s especially true for the IRS. The IRS must apply the law in a fair and impartial way, and its employees must act with utmost integrity. This report shows that some of its employees failed that test.

I’ve directed Secretary Lew to hold those responsible for these failures accountable, and to make sure that each of the Inspector General’s recommendations are implemented quickly, so that such conduct never happens again. But regardless of how this conduct was allowed to take place, the bottom line is, it was wrong. Public service is a solemn privilege. I expect everyone who serves in the federal government to hold themselves to the highest ethical and moral standards. So do the American people. And as President, I intend to make sure our public servants live up to those standards every day.

The mere thought of these incompetent and corrupt jackasses having real time access to my bank account is enough to put me in full panic mode. The idea to involve the IRS in our healthcare was one of the cruelest things to do. People don't exactly get a warm, fuzzy feeling when they think of the IRS as it is. Now, these people will be involved in one of the most personal things we have- our health. Not to mention access to our money.

We know how bad the government can screw up. And we know that it takes an act of congress to undo government mistakes. Imagine when someone steals your identity and gets healthcare. How much of your money will be drained from your account to pay for it and how long will it take you to correct such an injustice? Talk to people who have had their identities stolen, many by illegal aliens. The peoples' lives are ruined. The local police can't do anything because it's a federal matter and the feds don't give a shit. This is going to be a nightmare!!

The IRS is already outrageously powerful enough.

Now with the IRS in charge of enforcing O'care the specter of that unlimited power and potential abuse of that power is scary.

How long will Jay Carney hang on? He looks like he's in thumb screws now. He can barely talk. One of the resumes he's sending out should hit pay dirt.

Jay Carney has got to be hating life right now, if he has even a shred of self-respect left.

and to think that in 2010, Queen Pelosi thought the nation was in crisis over "Chinese-Water-Torture-Gate".

Billy Graham's son said today that the IRS targeted his organizations as well.

and whatever happened to Maxine Waters who thought that losing 170 Million jobs was going to be the next crisis?

I wish Robert Gibbs was there now....

I wish Robert Gibbs was there now....

Yet strangely enough, he is likely thrilled to not be there.

I wonder if Beavis or Butthead are still unemployed, either one could take Carneys Place, at least either would be more entertaining.
