As a businessman in Chicago I can attest that this is exactly how Chicago works.
If one reads the link to the American Spectator article it states: "According to the White House Visitors Log, provided here in searchable form by U.S. News and World Report, the president of the anti-Tea Party National Treasury Employees Union, Colleen Kelley, visited the White House at 12:30 pm that Wednesday noon time of March 31st." Kelley, Colleen Potus 03/31/2010 12:30 - from the White House Visitor Log "The very next day after her White House meeting with the President, according to the Treasury Department’s Inspector General’s Report, IRS employees — the same employees who belong to the NTEU — set to work in earnest targeting the Tea Party and conservative groups around America." http://spectator.org/archives/2013/05/20/obama-and-the-irs-the-smoking I can't wait to hear Carney's explanation for this.
Talk about caught between a rock and a hard place. Obama gets impeached and immediately Slow Joe is sworn in as President.

When the story changes daily its a certain indicator that someone's not telling the truth. My suspicion is there are a great many not telling the truth and it leads all the way up to the White House. When taken by itself one scandal could be the result of incompetence, miscommunication or simple human error; but when you group all these together a pattern emerges and becomes evident. The President and his handlers were focused on only one objective and that was Obama's re-election at any cost. They implemented a gun running program to advance an anti-second amendment policy and it backfired. The blow back was covered up so as not to embarrass the President. The Benghazi terrorist attack was covered up to maintain appearances that terrorism was under control and Al Qaeda on the run. The AP was tapped to ensure no whistle blowers came forward, coupled with a campaign of threats and intimidation to anyone who strayed off the official White House narrative. The IRS early on stalled processing Tea Party and Conservative 402(c)4 applications to thwart their organizational efforts at getting out their message and ultimately the vote. Lying has always been the modus opperendi of this administration as was evident with the blatant smearing of Mitt Romney's record and position points. The Media was complicit in all these endeavors and shares blame. All guilty parties should be held accountable.
Those within the media would be well advised to learn from history. "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me." Martin Niemöller

When Obama's acolytes in the Media take off their blinders and begin the job of honest reporting no matter where the facts take them then my faith in the Fourth Estate will be restored. If and when that time should come the Administration's corrupt house of cards will collapse under the weight of their lies. He promised the most transparent Administration in history; anyone with a brain can see right through these clowns.
None of these scandels which have recently come to light began in a vacuum. It wasn't rogue bearueacrats in the IRS gave the order to scrutinize Tea Party organizations. No overzealous agents at the ATF were pedeling guns to Mexican drug cartels and certainly no attorney within the DOJ was stupid enough to risk his career and law license by ordering the collection of phone records of AP reporters and editors without a subpoena. We have a pattern of abuse here which makes Nixon look like a Boy Scout.
In the DOJ's statement: "We must notify the media organization in advance unless doing so would pose a substantial threat to the integrity of the investigation." What investigation? Is the AP involved in some criminal plot, or do we have an Administration so out of touch with reality that they completely ignore the Constitution they swore an oath to support and defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic? If this doesn't wake up some of those within Big Media then nothing will.
Big Media is not just getting stories wrong. It is a deliberate attempt to lie through ommission and deliberately presenting false information for public consumption to fit a leftist narrative or gloss over anything that could be embarrassing to this Administration. We no longer have an independent and impartial Fourth Estate. Big Media has chosen sides.
