Then we have you, who wants to blame everything on Obama.
Does the President of the United States know everything that the IRS is doing? Does it know every department manager, and sit on on every conference call? Does the White House get veto power over which groups or orginzations the IRS pays extra attention to? Was the White House or anyone in the Obama Administration even aware that the IRS paid special attention to any groups at all? No, of course not. The White House, The Obama Administration, is not aware of the daily actions of every department of the IRS.
Then we have the Fast And Furious issue. Again, is the White House aware of the daily actions of the ATF? Does the ATF brief someone on at the White House about their investigations? Of course not, the case load from one office alone would staggering. For the same reason, the ATF does not inform the US Justice Department of investigations and operations it is doing on a regular basis.
Then at the same time... You keep bitching about how this is Obama's fault, yet this operation started in 2006 BEFORE Obama took office. Why did President Bush know the operation was started, no less why did Bush allow it to continue for two years? Simple - because he didn't know.
Use common sense here.
