1. Let's revisit the IRS and Benghazi scandals of the Obama administration. First, it is admitted by all but the most die-hard Obama-fanatics, that these, and the AP phone records grab, are both malfeasance, and huge mishandling by the administration.
a. It is beyond chalking up to coincidence that in each and every case, the stories, the explanations, coming out of the government responsible agencies, fall in line with the political interests of Obama.
2. Unfortunately for larger political philosophy that he represents, the scandals also reveal the artifice that is Liberalism, Big Government Statism.
a. On Fox News Sunday, White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer told "Fox News Sunday" was asked to explain how Sarah Ingram, the IRS commissioner who once oversaw the division that processes tax-exempt applications and now tapped to oversee the new tax laws in ObamaCare, could be given a promotion in the light of events. " Sarah Ingram "provided horrible customer service" but Steven Miller thinks she deserves to be head honcho at the Obamacare office." Fired IRS Commissioner: I Promoted Sarah Ingram To Head Obamacare: "We Provided Horrible Customer Service" - Greg Hengler
b. During the period she was targeting Tea Party, pro-life, conservative Americans, she recieved $100,000 in bonuses.

c. "... staffers in the sinister-sounding Determinations Unit started singling out Tea Party applicants for 501(c)4 tax-exempt status in mid-2010, so that puts Ingram in charge of the broader division when the scandal began. " The IRS scandal: Is Sarah Hall Ingram the next head to roll? - The Week
3. So, she was in charge...but knew nothing about the profiling....so she gets bonuses and a promotion.
Inadequate, inept, incompetent: this is very important, as it is the theme, the explanation of the Obama administration for the scandals.
a. Earlier explanation: "... The growing scandal at the IRS stemmed from a confused staff and lax oversight, ... an IRS unit based in Cincinnati, the main office for handling tax-exempt organizations, that adopted inappropriate criteria for deciding which applications to examine, without any review by senior managers. The improper targeting continued for more than 18 months. ... applications for nonprofit status to languish for more than three years,... as staff in a Cincinnati field office struggled to cope with a flood of applications for tax exemptions ..." Report blames IRS scandal on lax oversight, confused staff - latimes.com
b. But..." We were told that conservatives swamped the IRS with nonprofit applications after the Supreme Courts 2010 Citizens United decision struck down some restrictions on political speech..... No, as the Atlantics Garance Franke-Ruta points out:
[W]e saw a big increase in these kind of applications, many of which indicated that they were going to be involved in advocacy work, Lerner said. But Todd Young, a Republican congressman from Indiana, pointed out at Fridays House Ways and Means Committee hearing with former acting IRS commissioner Steve Miller and Treasury Inspector General J. Russell George that this was not the case, according to the very data the IRS provided to the Treasury IGs office." IRS Defenders Are Still Relying on Debunked Claims « Commentary Magazine
4. So, if Big Government Liberalism is based on the necessity of same to arbitrate, to resolve the problems in society, to provide the path to justice, between the big and the small, the rich and the poor, and do so honestly and efficiently.....but the explanations of the scandals is based on these government agencies bungling, mishandling, and corruption....
....what leg does Liberalism have to stand on????
