BREAKING: Obama says he learned of IRS focus on conservative groups when news reports broke Friday.
— The Associated Press (@AP) May 13, 2013
Hogwash, indeed. As Twitchy reported, President Obama was in full stompy foot disgrace mode during his joint presser with U.K. Prime Minister Cameron today. He shamefully called the Benghazi talking points investigation a “sideshow.”
He was also questioned about the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups.
First question from AP at press conference w/ Obama and PM Cameron: When did you learn about IRS and did WH lie about Benghazi?

Obama: “I don’t want to comment prematurely…” says if allegations are true “then that’s outrageous”

Huh. He doesn’t want to say they “acted stupidly”? Um. They have admitted to doing it, President Liar Pants.

Citizens aren’t buying what Obama is selling.

Heh. As Twitchy reported, Obama henchman David Plouffe excused the IRS targeting: Well, the groups were “flourishing” and all.
Literally. RT @HowardKurtz: Obama says he learned of IRS abuses from news reports. If so, unbelievable the agency didn't notify him

Countdown until emails reveal people close to Obama, including senior staff, knew of the IRS scandal before Friday…
— Sunny McSunnyface (@sunnyright) May 13, 2013
So Obama didn't learn about what his own IRS was doing for more than two years until Friday.

Shorter Obama, "I'm not evil, I'm incompetent" RT: @ByronYork: Obama: I first learned about IRS situation from the news.

Bam!
@MonicaCrowley The only thing Obama did today was pour a 10 gallon can of gas onto a fire.

Yep. Both Benghazi and IRS are trending on Twitter.
Congratulations for @jpaceDC For shooting to the Top of #Twitter with her Question IRS AND BENGHAZI! Great Job and good questions! #Benghazi

Indeed. Unlike the New York Times, who is madly spinning for the Obama administration and the IRS, Ms. Pace did her job. And did it well.
Follow @jpaceDC. That is all.

Agreed RT @markknoller Well done to AP's @jpaceDC for asking Pres Obama about both the IRS and the Benghazi matters.
