The fact their “circle” doesn’t match up, is exactly like the GOP’s “facts” used in their “scandals”, which while not good, are far less egregious than those acts of Reagan and GHW taken before they changed the laws after 9/11 so “W” and Cheney could ignore the Constitution more readily.

Bennett: Obama’s cutting the floor out from under himself. He doesn’t need any help.

Earth to Bennett:
President Obama said The IRS Targeting Conservative Groups was wrong. He even state he would seek Possible Criminal Charges against everyone involved in Targeting Conservatives. Nice to know Obama is actually a Conservative.

The Republicans did not take control of The House until January 2011. That’s 3 Years, not 5.

So obozo’s the victim? Not the rest of us watching our country degrade into a socialist swamp of parasites, idlers and thieves?

Parasites, idlers and thieves? Yes, the Koch brothers, the Walton family and the rest of the top one tenth of one percent are a blight on this country. Capitalizing on the suffering of the vast majority of the people to enrich themselves and corrupting the political process.

You are so deluded? Name one thing that is better since Reagan besides the DOW that is based on phony profits and toxic derivatives?
Who has all the real treacherous scandals? Nixon and the Vietcong, Nixon’s Watergate, the S&L collapse, Iran/Contra, the family farm foreclosure scam, 9-11, lying us into War? Whose tax policies are destroying our Government, Schools, Infrastructure, Retirement Security? All theses things are conservative policy and practice that have made America worse and hated in large parts of the world.
And the best you pathetic excuses for Americans can come up with is a blow job and an IRS review and Phone Record search?And your incessant screaming about socialism as if giving a damn about each other is the ruin of civilization. Get a clue.
