PPS TO LAST POST

So it turns out the people in charge of the IRS policy that the Repubs have been screaming about, as well as the one handling the "talking points" for Ambassador Rice about Benghazi that they've also been screaming about, were both Bush Junior appointees!

Maybe Obama was smart to react to the IRS thing as though the Repubs were right and it was some sort of attack based on ideology (of course they and we know it wasn't, it was looking for groups who pretend to be about social causes when they're really about politics and trying to elect their people without scrutiny of their finances etc.) because it might give him the opportunity to fire Republican appointees in the government, usually impossible to make happen (let alone hire his own appointees many of which the Repubs continue to hold out on, some since Obama's first term!).
