Obama fires IRS Chief... who became Chief two years **after** IRS targeting started

[Little-Acorn]

Acting IRS Chief Steven Miller was appointed to that post in Nov. 2012... which was two years AFTER the IRS started targeting conservative groups with huge questionnaires, extra audits, and delays in approving their tax status.

MIller was scheduled to retire on June 15, 2013.

But now Obama has fired him, ostensibly for his role in the IRS targeting that started two years after he became Chief.

The effective date of Miller's termination? June, 2013.

Is it just me? Or does it actually look like President Obama is trying yet again, to remind us of how stupid and gullible he believes we are?

Somebody has to get thrown under the bus for the greater good of advancing the kooky liberal ideology.

It's nothing but a political ploy. His term was up next month. Let's see Hussein fire A.G. Holder and then we will know he is serious. Things ain't looking good for the pres. His allies call him a "standby president". Critics say his administration is incompetent and criminal. Carl Rove says that Hussein will become increasingly prickly and self pitying.

In a related story, President Obama also announced the firing of Bo, for his role in creating the stains that appeared on the Oval Office carpet in 1995.

IRS dancin' to the tune of Discriminate Against dem Conservatives...

Newly released IRS video shows employees dancing
May. 31,`13, WASHINGTON (AP) — In the latest black eye for the Internal Revenue Service, the agency provided Congress on Friday with another video featuring its employees, this one showing about a dozen of them line dancing on a stage.

The video of the IRS workers practicing their dance moves, which lasts just under three minutes, comes weeks after it was revealed that agency workers produced two other videos parodying the "Star Trek" and "Gilligan's Island" TV shows. The latest recording cost about $1,600 and was produced to be shown at the end of a 2010 training and leadership conference held in Anaheim, Calif., said IRS spokeswoman Michelle Eldridge. At a time when most government agencies are coping with across-the-board spending cuts by furloughing workers and finding other savings, that conference has become the target of a report a Treasury inspector general plans to release next week.

The report, called "Collected and Wasted: The IRS Spending Culture and Conference Abuses," will be the subject of a hearing Thursday by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, that panel said Friday. The IRS is also under fire by lawmakers and the Obama administration for targeting conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for tough scrutiny between 2010 and 2012. That screening, revealed May 10, has led President Barack Obama to replace the agency's acting chief, and two other top officials have also stepped aside.

This still image from video provided by the Internal Revenue Service shows a scene from a video the agency provided to Congress on Friday, May 31, 2013, featuring its employees - this one showing them dancing on a stage. The latest recording cost about $1,600 and was produced to be shown at the end of a 2010 training and leadership conference held in Anaheim, Calif., said IRS spokeswoman Michelle Eldridge.

All three videos were provided in response to a request by a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La. "The outrage toward the IRS is only growing stronger," said Boustany, who chairs the Ways and Means oversight subcommittee. "Clearly this is an agency where abuse and waste is the norm and not the exception." In a written statement, the IRS said the video was "unacceptable and an inappropriate use of government funds." It said the agency has new policies in place "to ensure that taxpayer funds are being used appropriately."

Eldridge said the dance video was recorded at IRS offices in New Carrollton, Md., outside Washington, D.C. In the video, various workers comment as colleagues practice their dancing in the background to music that sounds like "Cupid Shuffle," a 2007 hit by the performer Cupid. In the version obtained by The Associated Press, IRS employees' names have been erased.
