The IRS Scandal, Day 565

IRS Logo 2Glenn Reynolds (Tennessee), More on Those 'Found' Emails From Lois Lerner:

I’m cynical enough to suspect that they’ve been found for a long time, and the delay was to (1) get past the midterms; and (2) allow someone to vacuum the archives of any truly incriminating material.

American Thinker:  The Zelig Presidency:

For those familiar with Woody Allen movies, one of his more unusual ones was Zelig, a movie done in a black & white, semi-documentary form about a man played by Woody Allen who has a rare chameleon-like disorder where he takes on the physical and personality traits of those who he is in close proximity. The movie stands out for its uniqueness but is also a commentary on personality, how a person gets one and how it is defined, and is it even possible to be original anymore, especially when it comes to political, artistic and intellectual greatness.

In the case of Obama, he seems to be the Zelig president. He's been taking on the characteristics and actions of past presidents while displaying no originality. He is Nixon using the IRS to target his political enemies. Here he succeeded where Nixon did not. Nixon's IRS director refused to carry out his orders when instructed to do his bidding but Lois Lerner perfected political targeting to an art. (Her problem was that she got caught.)
