Obama Fires A Guy Who Only Has A Couple Of Weeks Left

[boedicca]

Does he really think voters are That Stupid?

Obama fires the temporary IRS chief who was made acting commissioner in November 2012, long after the "targeting conservatives" policy has exploded across the agency.

Really? How pathetic.

He didn't actually fire anyone. The man was retiring in June, he's still retiring in June. Nothing has changed.

You clearly don't understand how to read between the lines. In order to save face for being fired, people often use: "spend more time with family", "pursue other opportuities", "health reasons", and in this particular case, the "temporary" term excuse. He is being made into a scapegoat, but it's not working.

Wonder if he loses that cushy Fed retirement package he must have.

He did get fired afer all.

Well. Mayby.

Damn that Rubio!

Rubio wants IRS commissioner fired; Buchanan demands answers | Tampa Bay Times

Rubio wrote. "At a bare minimum, those involved with this deeply offensive use of government power have committed a violation of the public trust that has already had a profoundly chilling effect on free speech. Such behavior cannot be excused with a simple apology. Furthermore, it is clear the IRS cannot operate with even a shred of the American people’s confidence under the current leadership. Therefore, I strongly urge that you and President Obama demand the IRS Commissioner’s resignation, effectively immediately.

Poor Obama. Taking orders from a Senator instead of actually leading the nation.

And, oh the courage! Firing a guy who is the interim commissioner (beginning November 2012, long after the IRS began its campaign against conservatives).

'Angry' Obama announces IRS leader's ouster in scandal - CNN.com

Steven Miller, was aware employees were targeting conservative groups in May 2012, according to the agency.
But Miller, then the agency's deputy commissioner, didn't tell Congress about it when he testified before an oversight committee in July -- despite being questioned on the issue.

OP- and that's all the White House has to do with the IRS, chump of the gredy idiot rich.

Thanks for your thoughtful input...

What Obama should have done was appoint a special council to do the investigation instead of having the matter left up to another federal government agency to look into this scandal, who will drag their feet until people forget about it. Just like the Obama administration tried to do in the Libyan attack.

Steven Miller didn't want to lose his pension when he retired.
This is how our government shuts up people from telling the truth, with threats and fear tactics.

Oh how the douchebags in Congress are regretting not passing President Obama's nominee to the IRS now.

Some voters are that stupid and will believe any statement the WH puts out.

The guy probably had job offers rolling in from the left when they found out he's willing to ignore the law to go after the right.

I don't think resigning or being fired is enough in this case. People should go to jail. And the left can quit defending them since they already admitted to doing it.


Targeting conservative groups isn't all they did.

The IRS is now being sued for stealing 60,000,000 medical records of 10,000,000 people. Remember, the IRS is the group that is set to enforce Obamacare. They also are openly admitting that they’ve targeted conservative and libertarian groups in the past. Feel comfortable? Me neither. They want you scared and intimidated.

Medical records were stolen that had nothing to do with a criminal, civil, or tax investigation. There was no warrant, no court order –just theft. This was illegal, and people need to go to jail.

IRS Sued for Stealing Medical Records of 10,000,000 People

Strange, I wonder why they wanted all those records and all those judges records from California as outlined here in the Forbes article yours links with?

According to a story by Courthousenews.com, an unnamed healthcare provider in California is suing the IRS and 15 unnamed agents, alleging that they improperly seized some 60 million medical records of 10 million Americans, including medical records of all California state judges on March 11, 2011.

Things that make you go hummmmmmmmm.

Really? That's what you think is important here?

What a hack.

Sad part is that's the most decisive thing he's done in 4 1/2yrs.

And.....how would you have reacted if the WH said "We aren't going to fire him because he has only a few weeks left."?

Please, he's resigning from a TEMPORARY job!

Because then they could try to paint this as all the Presidents fault because he appointed the head. You know it's killing them that this dupe is a Bush appointee.

 

[boedicca]

Nobody cares that the interim guy was a Bush appointee except for moonbat hacks. The interim guy took the post in November 2012, long after the IRS started its campaign of targeting conservatives.

Oh please. We've been seeing this long enough to know the Republicans would be ecstatic if Obama's nominee had been responsible. You're a fool if you think differently.

 

[boedicca]

You sad little hack. Are you related to TMN by any chance?

And I know you're resorting to personal attacks because I'm right. The ODS is strong with the right wing and there is no doubt that the GOP is now kicking themselves for not clearing his nominee.

 

[boedicca]

The IRS personnel's campaign donations have been overwhelmingly aimed at the Dems. The IRS is a creature of the Big Government that the Dems promote, and they continue to support the Dem agenda regardless of the President.

But continue with your hackery. You are a one trick pony.
