IRS Scandal Inching Closer to Valerie Jarrett's Fingerprints?

“I love coming to Asheville,” Obama said at a Linamar factory plant, where he stumped today on his post-State of the Union tour. He told the crowd that “after this whole presidency thing,” he and Michelle Obama will be “looking for a little spot, you know, to come on down, play a little golf, do a little hiking, fishing, eat barbecue.” February 2013

The Oval Office: Sometime in not all-to-distant future, or about all the future that will be left . . . "Well I'm gonna to go then! And I don't need any of this. I don't need this stuff, and I don't need *you*. I don't need anything. Except this.

[picks up an ashtray]

And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this ashtray... And this paddle game. - The ashtray and the paddle game and that's all I need... And this remote control. - The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that's all I need... And these matches. - The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control, and the paddle ball... And this lamp. - The ashtray, this paddle game, and the remote control, and the lamp, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The paddle game and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches for sure. Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

 [outside now] And I don't need one other thing, except my dog.. . . I don't need my dog."

One day President Barack H. Obama will depart the White House, but there is so much to occupy Americans like myself. 

• Zimmerman?  Meh. My old ear drums are still bleeding from our National Discussion on Race, when old Henry Lou Gates lost his keys and President Sparklefahrts dipped his toes in the quiet waters of Cambridge Police 911 call. Stupid!  A few beers later and all was forgotten . . .by this Nation of Cowards.

• Snowden?    I hope the poor SOB can get some Mitchum in that Moscow Airport.  Man, he's gotta be ripe.  Well,  it is Russia and Old Shirtless in Saint Petersburg don't seem to mind.

• Rolling Stone? A great cop took care of that one.

• Metra Illinois? Already in the Illinois  memory hole.

• Motown?  President Al Green has left the building.

• Cairo?  In the national  memory hole 

• Benghazi? Getting warmed up.

• IRS?  Boiling like a pot of Englewood napalm and set to burn some scamps. R. Emmett Tyrell writes about the last six months of scandals oozing out of the pores of Brand Obama  

Congress also ought to be looking into the Obama Administration’s subpoenaing of journalists’ records and the allegations of a State Department cover-up of irregularities by our ambassador to Belgium. Then there is the NSA disaster. It now appears that the dimwit Edward Snowden walked off with a vast horde of intelligence. We are even hearing that he has in the cozy confines of the Moscow airport the manuals for keying into NSA intelligence gathering projects. How did he get them? Who is responsible?

All of this incompetence took place under President Obama’s watch. Now comes word that the president is popping off about Trayvon Martin again. Initially he blustered, “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” With the acquittal of George Zimmerman he is saying we can “honor Trayvon” by putting an end to “gun violence.” Still worse is his outburst this past May on sexual assault cases in the military. Commenting on them he — the president of the United States and commander in chief of the military — pronounced that the accused should be “prosecuted, stripped of their positions, court-martialed, fired, dishonorably discharged…” You can be sure that his outburst put in jeopardy sexual assault cases all over the country. Thomas J. Roming, a former judge advocate general of the Army, told the New York Times, “His remarks were more specific than I’ve ever heard a commander in chief get…. Every military defense counsel will make a motion about this.”

Yeah, but didn't  Motown Barry look just smashing back in Denver, betwixt those swell Attic columns, though?  He did. Wasn't that a time?

For NPR and Bill Moyers, I am sure, but have never cottoned to national figure who demands that goons like Dr. Kermit Baron Gosnell ( Dr. Talented 10%) be allowed to spin the spinal cords of living children in defense of women.

Of all of the indications of the hapless misanthropy that is Brand Obama, nothing takes the cheese like IRS scandal.  Any self-respecting meth-head with a rudimentary understanding of English and a GED, like Eddie Snowden, knows that IRS was unleashed upon the Tea Party, Pro Israel, Anti-abortion, or America-Ain't- Bad 501 (c) 3 applicants to show Americans the might of the Brand and the lash waiting all dissenters. That means, Valerie Jarrett, Chicago Slum Queen, Obama Minister Without Portfolio Bully-Broad.

President Obama doesn't waffle-up in the AM without Valerie Jarrett's say-so.  Why Ms. Jarrett has become such a powerful force in American public life is easy to explain - politicians need access to money.  She is a crazy aunt with oodles of boodle that a daffy family will allow to not only pick out the curtains, but schools for the kids, cable shows, menus and toilet paper.  Valerie Jarrett operates off-camera, but pushes Commie Sit-com stars of the future into the full focus - Anita Dunn, Van Jones, Kevin Jennings, EPA Mini-Czar Salazar and IRS general counsel and White House go-to-guy William Wilkins. No less a past-Obama fan than Peggy Noonan writes:

The IRS chief counsel is named William Wilkins. And again, he is one of only two Obama political appointees in the IRS.
What was the chief counsel's office looking for? The letter to Mr. Werfel says Mr. Hull's supervisor, Ronald Shoemaker, provided insight: The counsel's office wanted, in the words of the congressional committees, "information about the applicants' political activities leading up to the 2010 election." Mr. Shoemaker told investigators he didn't find that kind of question unreasonable, but he found the counsel's office to be "not very forthcoming": "We discussed it to some extent and they indicated that they wanted more development of possible political activity or political intervention right before the election period."
It's almost as if—my words—the conservative organizations in question were, during two major election cycles, deliberately held in a holding pattern.
So: What the IRS originally claimed was a rogue operation now reaches up not only to the Washington office, but into the office of the IRS chief counsel himself.
At the generally lacking House Oversight Committee Hearings on Thursday, some big things still got said.
Ms. Hofacre of the Cincinnati office testified that when she was given tea-party applications, she had to kick them upstairs. When she was given non-tea-party applications, they were sent on for normal treatment. Was she told to send liberal or progressive groups for special scrutiny? No, she did not scrutinize the applications of liberal or progressive groups. "I would send those to general inventory." Who got extra scrutiny? "They were all tea-party and patriot cases." She became "very frustrated" by the "micromanagement" from Washington. "It was like working in lost luggage." She applied to be transferred.
For his part, Mr. Hull backed up what he'd told House investigators. He described what was, essentially, a big, lengthy runaround in the Washington office in which no one was clear as to their reasons but everything was delayed. The multitiered scrutiny of the targeted groups was, he said, "unusual."

What happens in the White House does not stay in the White House. Detroit Happens. Syria Happens. ObamaCare should not happen. Things happen because almost twenty years ago, Barack H. Obama, community activist, Woods Fund Executive Director, and neighborhood guy of Bill Ayers attached himself to Valerie Jarrett,Real Estate player and Slum Queen.  She's the crazy aunt who makes uncle Jeremiah Wright seem like Justice Clarence Thomas, in my humble opinion.

The IRS Scandal was far less bloody and foolish than Benghazi fiasco of 9/11/2011, but will prove mortal to Obama's last place finish in History's list of American Presidencies.  It is not Obama's fault, nothing is.  We voters drank the Cool Aid, Smoked the Hopium and felt the tingle up our thighs. We may soon realize the poor guys was just a Jerk with a sharp crease in his britches.

Will we learn from this side History?

Samantha Power, Islamist Terror's Best Shield, Appointed by Obama to Combat Global Genocide?

Benghazi, more than the IRS/James Rosen/AP Scandals, will be the final veil removed from Obama's daffy diplomacy and defense deconstruction.  Samantha Power's name will of necessity surface, as she has been the Obama's puppetrix and Third World sponsored dominatrix in all matters Islam from Cairo Giveaways, to Hamas Flotilla regattae, to Pan Libyan adventureisms.

On Memorial Day 2013 President Obama spoke at the National Holocaust Museum - most fitting.  President Obama sullied the day with his announcement that Samantha Power is out of the White House and appointed to a new executive fiat creation -

WASHINGTON---The Obama White House issued new measures on Friday to prevent genocides and mass atrocities, creating an "Atrocities Prevention Board" in the wake of the failure of the "Never Again" vow taken following the German Holocaust to stop the murders of entire populations. . . . The Obama White House efforts to address genocide is headed by Samantha Power, Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights. Power won a Pulitizer Prize for her book, "A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide"and worked briefly for President Obama when he was a U.S. senator from Illinois.

Professor Power belongs to the OxFam breed of antisemites - college degree'd Brits and Irish poser - OXFAM wannabees who support Pan- Palestinian (read HAMAS) Victimhood no matter what the evidence proves otherwise and a fashionably Left ( read CPI) point view calling for the anihilation of the only Democracy in the Middle East - Israel.  Israelis are Zionists and Zionist are Nazis and Nazis created the Holocaust, doncha neeewww. Quite.

American Progressives ( read mildly educated elites) are mad to take contemptuous slaps and condescension for such OXFAM worthies as Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland, Archbishop Tutu the most reliable old Red in purple, and of course the lads of Coldplay.  OXFAM and Amnesty International were hijacked at about the same time in 1970's. Both demand a global. . .International . . .acceptance of principles and purposes -lock step.

OXFam's Purpise # 2. gives me the willies -"The purpose of Oxfam is to help create lasting solutions. . . ( Final Solution, n'est pas?). 

Professor Power is a bold critic of American history, policy, defense and culture.  Professor Power is Bill Ayers on Zoloft.

If you are OK with the White House and State Department's handling of the Benghazi slaughter, Samantha Power makes sense as the Obama Genocide Czarina.

 How about Louis Farrakhan as national spokesman for America's Other White Meat?

President Barack H. Corvair- "There is no there, there."

"The unambitious sluggard pretends that the eminence is not worth attaining, declines altogether the struggle, and calls himself a philosopher." Barry Lyndon - William Makepeace Thackeray

"There's no there there," Obama said. "The fact that this keeps on getting churned up, frankly, has a whole lot to do with political motivations."
Obama continued, "We dishonor [the attack's victims] when we turn things like this into a political circus,"

That statement is indicative and largely sums up the Presidents two terms: not particularly smart and not particularly . . .nice.  We? The President who constantly harps about faceless plutocrats abandoning poor people, the middle class, Granny, and our good friends of Islam to the ravages of storm, strife and self-reliance had no problem leaving four dead Americans in Benghazi.

Last week,  President Obama responded to the September 11th Benghazi Crisis as having no 'There, there."  There is.  This week has been wake up call - Dr. Kermit Gosnell is guilty and going away for the balance of his arrogant life;   the sleepy news media woke up to cynical and callous abandonment of American lives and honor in Libya, the IRS made war on citizens on President Obama's watch and Eric Holder is taking the exit on the AP spying scandal.

Smiling hipsters of Brand Obama have revealed themselves to be some pretty lousy people and those are only the Judas Goats staked out in public at the moment - Valerie Jarrett, Samantha Power and others of their ilk are pulling a Garbo.

President Obama is going to wear the jacket on his clueless two terms in office and it will not be one from Hart, Shaffner and Marx.

President Obama is very slowly being found out to be not a particularly smart man, but more importantly not a particularly nice man and that is too bad.  He is inadequate to the job, but that did not matter to the aspirational prophets of Yes We Can! Now! Immediately!  Can't Wait, or You Hate!  Brand Obama is a 1961 Corvair ( the year of the President's birth). The Corvair - fun to drive and fun to watch it crash.

Harry Truman was a flesh and blood human being.  Barack Obama is a concept.

In Obama's Policy Jungle, Follow the Kookie Krumbs - Samantha Power to Susan Rice to Valerie Jarrett to Hillary Clinton to . . .

The Benghazi tragedy is treated by the political media, the DNC and most especially Brand Obama's White House like a smashed up box of Maurice Lenell cookies that only would be used if high end Rich biscuits could make all the difference in the world.


Yes, sir. Some might scoff at this Chicago product as food for the helots ( it is) in the same tones one hears from WTTW/PBS/NPR zealots snort when they hear Fox anything.  I learned long ago, from Chicago saloon keeper and political genius Boz O'Brien, the meaning of value - " Boz, what's the difference between a vase( Vahhhhzzzz) and a vase( Vayce)?"

Mr. O'Brien patiently and spontaneously answered, " Forty Dollars."  In our brand conscious folly we value nothing.  Hell, we help murder infants through our taxes - outliers or not.

 Maurice Lenell cookies were made on north Harlem Ave. and for 70 years a family of Swedes cranked out pinwheels, sugar cookies, tea biscuits and those vanilla bits with the prehistoric cherry in the middle.  Granny Nora Hickey , of Cahirciveen, County Kerry opted for Maurice Lenell "bickies" for her tea table in the kitchen at 7535 S. Marshfield.  Those cookies crumbled up a storm.

Back in the day, Maurice Lenell's came in tin boxes in stacks on paper doilies.  They looked classy and working people could afford them.  As our society became more disposable-friendly after Roe v. Wade, paper and flimsy plastic replaced the tin.  Those cookies crumbled quicker, often in the over-stuffed Jewel bag squeezed between cantaloupes and 48 oz. cans of Dinty Moore.

Crumbled cookies put swells off and by the Obama First Term Maurice Lenell was swallowed whole by some food group.  Now, Obama's youthful demographic eat cookie dough.  Oh, yeah, Benghazi.

Sept. 11th 2012,  the Obama Kooky Middle East narrative crafted by Samantha Power at the command of Valerie Jarrett crumbled like tea cookies.  Power and Jarrett are exempts, as singularly a Chicago product as Maurice Lenell's baked goods. Exempt hires are answerable only to person who hired them.  They are salaried. . .very salaried . . .employees who are exempt from the standard application processes and the job requirements most of the rest of us must meet.

What in Valerie Jarrett's public resume makes her vital to national executive capacity whatsoever? Valerie Jarrett hand-picked some the Obama Administrations daffier prodigies: Desiree Rogers, Van Jones, Arne Duncan, Anita Dunn and the girl-friend of Cass Sunstein Samantha Power.

Samantha Power is architect of the Obama Middle East Policy - from the bow tour, the Cairo speech, the Arab Spring, the ascent of the Muslim Brotherhood, the back-door treatment of Israel -as in, " Hey, Hymies, hit the back door!"

Now, just hours before the start of another hearing on Benghazi, Eric Holder's FBI found some Minnesota cracker by the name of Buford to divert attention from the collapse of Brand Obama. Perhaps, I just a tad cynical.  Maybe this has nothing to do with Libya; rather, it is make-up dibs to David Sirota of Salon, who begged for Boston's terrorists to be fans of NASCAR, or Knights of Columbus.  Brand Obama is banged up good, Eric.  Nice that your boys grabbed Buford, though.

Brand Obama is packaged in flimsy plastic and the Kookies have crumbled.  Even the fawning Democratic Establishment (wonky  money-dogs, media purse puppies) are baring their fangs:

For some time, the left of the MSM has been attacking the White House over issues like drones and Guantanamo, but now much heavier fire is coming from the center. The Washington Post ran an opinion piece by Thomas Carothers and Nathan J. Brown arguing that the administration’s Egypt policy has been overtaken by events. And both Dexter Filkins in the New Yorker and Bill Keller in the New York Times have gone after the administration for dithering on Syria, especially in light of the mounting evidence that Assad has crossed the administration’s “red lines” on the use of chemical weapons. These are heavy hitters; throw in the David Sanger co-authoredNYT weekender saying that the whole “red line” controversy in Syria was caused by a major presidential gaffe, and some of the biggest dogs in town are saying some very harsh things about presidential competence and judgment.If we were sitting in the White House right now, we would be worried that the Benghazi hearings scheduled for later this week could be an important tipping point, accelerating the MSM turn away from a lame duck president whose Middle East policies, to put it mildly, face some unresolved issues.
President Obama faces a tough mix of domestic and foreign challenges in the Middle East. Abroad, the situation in Syria has steadily worsened while the Egyptian revolution he championed looks less attractive every day. The mullahs in Iran have not shown many signs that they fear his wrath, suggesting that a peaceful resolution of the nuclear issue is not in the cards.

The Congressional hearings on Benghazi beginning tomorrow should sweep up some of the Kookie Krumbs littering America's standing in the world. We should see the penmanship of Samantha Power all over this mess, under the commands of Valerie Jarrett.

Democrats will circle the silent butlers around the neck of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who sat down hard the Benghazi cookie tray and collect the Kookie Krumbs. Hillary Clinton will be the subject of national and world ridicule, until she serves up Jarrett, Samantha Power and President Obama.

Unless the GOP again screws up the hearings as royally as they have in the past ( Fast & Furious/Benghazi),
I believe that the two White House exempts and their Chinaman the President will wear the jacket of political
larceny all covered up with and by the crumbs of these dilettante egoists.

The need now, among Democrats, over the next fews months will be to convince the American voter that George W. Bush selected Barack H. Obama to run for the Illinois Senate, US Senate and America's Chief Executive.  Hillary Clinton, once the crumbs have been brushed, will help do just that. That's how this cookie crumbles.

With Benghazi ( "Long Time Ago") Peeling, Hillary Clinton Will Toss These Three Under the Bus

Benghazi, seems like only yesterday.  Jay Carney said that I am very much mistaken, because it happened so long ago and that an American Ambassador and three security heroes were slaughtered in Libya, while the White House remained on Deaf Com 6 - Got an Election, Folks! Distraction.

 Samantha Power, Susan Rice and President Lame Duck #44 will be the Fall Person's tossed to history's dentures by Hillary Clinton: When the smoke clears Hillary Clinton the #45 Wannabee will put the jacket on Mrs. Cass Sunstein, (Samantha Powers), The proud black woman named Rice who is not named Condalisa, ( Susan Rice) and the Al Green in Chief President Barack H. Obama.  The bus is rolling.

From Stephen Hayes for the Weekly Standard, The Nation with a moral core:

After the internal distribution, CIA officials amended that draft to include more information about the jihadist threat in both Egypt and Libya. “On 10 September we warned of social media reports calling for a demonstration in front of the [Cairo] Embassy and that jihadists were threatening to break into the Embassy,” the agency had added by late afternoon. And: “The Agency has produced numerous pieces on the threat of extremists linked to al Qaeda in Benghazi and Libya.” But elsewhere, CIA officials pulled back. The reference to “Islamic extremists” no longer specified “Islamic extremists with ties to al Qaeda,” and the initial reference to “attacks” in Benghazi was changed to “demonstrations.”
The talking points were first distributed to officials in the interagency vetting process at 6:52 p.m. on Friday. Less than an hour later, at 7:39 p.m., an individual identified in the House report only as a “senior State Department official” responded to raise “serious concerns” about the draft. That official, whom The Weekly Standard has confirmed was State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland, worried that members of Congress would use the talking points to criticize the State Department for “not paying attention to Agency warnings.”
In an attempt to address those concerns, CIA officials cut all references to Ansar al Sharia and made minor tweaks. But in a follow-up email at 9:24 p.m., Nuland wrote that the problem remained and that her superiors—she did not say which ones—were unhappy. The changes, she wrote, did not “resolve all my issues or those of my building leadership,” and State Department leadership was contacting National Security Council officials directly. Moments later, according to the House report, “White House officials responded by stating that the State Department’s concerns would have to be taken into account.” One official—Ben Rhodes, The Weekly Standard is told, a top adviser to President Obama on national security and foreign policy—further advised the group that the issues would be resolved in a meeting of top administration officials the following morning at the White House.

There is little information about what happened at that meeting of the Deputies Committee. But according to two officials with knowledge of the process, Mike Morrell, deputy director of the CIA, made broad changes to the draft afterwards. Morrell cut all or parts of four paragraphs of the six-paragraph talking points—148 of its 248 words (see Version 2 above). Gone were the reference to “Islamic extremists,” the reminders of agency warnings about al Qaeda in Libya, the reference to “jihadists” in Cairo, the mention of possible surveillance of the facility in Benghazi, and the report of five previous attacks on foreign interests. 

I see the penmanship of Samantha Power, the Foreign Policy Czar of the Obama White House, the Irish-born OxFam activist/journalist who remains in the shadows but crafts the daffy Obama Middle East balls-up universal, all over the talking points read by Susan Rice. Reuters reported that Samantha Power is about to be 'disappeared' to a State Department post.

Samantha Power is like cashiered Green Czar Van Jones, one of the power persons who appear out of left-field and manage to craft bad policy while avoiding the blame. Unlike Jones, Power keeps her ego in her purse.   When it got the better of her ambitions, got her knocked off Obama 2008 Campaign for nasty comments on the future Secretary of State. Van Jones took his ego to TV.

Hillary will bounce Power quicker than Bill Clinton's next exploitable chick comes along.


When the dust settles on the Benghazi Disaster Sept. 11, 2012, so long, long, long ago in the words of White House Press Flak Jay Carney, Hillary Clinton will be required to get from under her fish-monger roar of 'What difference does it make?"



PeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeLenty!
Samantha Power is ready for tenure at Columbia.
The President already purged the military in this matter, Rice resigned quicker than the time it takes to have a new talking point, but Hillary Clinton thinks she will walk into the White House in 2016.

What a difference a long time makes.

So, To the SOTU . . .6,500 Words and no mention of Benghazi, or Ambassador Chris Stevens

I watched the President give a State of the Union (SOTU) address again last night.  It was pretty much what I had expected:

1. The President really enjoys his own company: "Just three weeks ago, she was here, in Washington, with her classmates, performing for her country at my inauguration.  And a week later, she was shot and killed in a Chicago park after school, just a mile away from my house."  - Now, you tell me what you think of me!
2. Congress is Bi-Polar
3. There are some really homely elected officials
4. Standing ovations at each preposition uttered by Our President, Commander-in-Chief
5. It is what it is; it is what it is ; it is what it is
6. And there is President Barack H. Obama

I was a bit dismayed that the President never addressed the issue of Religious Liberty in connection to his HHS Mandates, nor did he mention any on-going problems with his Administration: Solyndra stuff, Eric Holder's gun-running operations and that sort of stuff. Nothing is his fault. Catholics must be paranoid, or something. Shucks he didn't even give Pope Benedict XVI a shout-out on upon his announced retirement.

Our President is a Progressive and a Progressive is prickly.  President Obama was prickly.  

I thought that at the very least the President's SOTU might mention the murder of Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans by terrorists in Libya - not a chance.

6,500 words of self-praise, threats and padded rhetoric.  It was a stump speech. A very long, dull, embarrassingly egocentric stump speech.

He will pay back GE Green Energy for its long and tireless support of his perch in the White House - by Executive Order.

The President stuffed his box with victims of gun violence and paid fair and moving tribute to the slain and how much each victim meant to him personally:


I remember how much murdered Ambassador Chris Stevens meant to the President, his Administration and his Re-Election Team - The formerly-mustachioed David Axelrod gave it to Chris Wallace when Wallace asked him about the President's run to "about the president’s decision to fly to Nevada for a campaign event “within hours” of the Sept. 11 attack – compared to the decision late last month to suspend campaigning for three days to deal with superstorm Sandy" upon learning of the massacre:

“Chris, as I said, immediately when word of the attack came, the president was meeting with his top national security folks. He was talking to them well into the night. He was in touch with them during the day, as – during the next day as well. So, there is no question about the fact that he was focused on this.”
“But, why did he feel he could campaign within hours after a terror attack?” Wallace asked.
“Well, everything – everything was put in motion that he could put in motion,” Axelrod replied. “Everything – every conversation that needed to be had was being had between him and his top national security officials.. . . The president has said, we want to get to the bottom of it. We want to share it with the American people. We want to get it right,” ”

Really?

Bringing it all back home to gun violence, President Obama neglected four victims of gun, RPG and mob terrorism in Benghazi:

Hadiya’s parents, Nate and Cleo, are in this chamber tonight, along with more than two dozen Americans whose lives have been torn apart by gun violence.  They deserve a vote.

Gabby Giffords deserves a vote.

The families of Newtown deserve a vote.

The families of Aurora deserve a vote.

The families of Oak Creek, and Tucson, and Blacksburg, and the countless other communities ripped open by gun violence – they deserve a simple vote.

No votes, mention, or responsibility for

The Family of Chris Stevens
The Family of Sean Smith
The Family of Tyrone Woods
The Family of Glen Doherty

SOTUS 2013 is what it is -

The President Obama is coming home to Chicago on Friday to do exactly what I have not a clue.  I know this, I would not walk across the street to listen to him even if he were announcing my appointment to some ghost pay-rolling job, like Valerie Jarrett's gig.

Three more BHO SOTU to go. Unless of course . . . His gang manages to give him President for life . . .could be; MSNBC and GE are all over it.
