Another Obama Scandal!

Another Obama Scandal While many Americans have been trying to wrap their heads around what really happened in Benghazi, how the NSA is allowed to track every move a person makes on the Internet, who authorized the IRS to target and harass conservatives, and why the Obama administration would inject themselves into the George Zimmerman case, they may have missed the story about the Department of Homeland Security creating a US customs pre-clearance facility in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). That’s right: A plan hatched by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the UAE places U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents in the Abu Dhabi airport, allowing passengers to be screened by U.S. agents prior to their departure for the country, therefore bypassing long customs lines here in America. This move essentially makes it more convenient to enter America via Abu Dhabi than it would be to enter through airports like JFK or LAX! I, for one, think that’s crazy. For more on this developing story and to sign a petition against this facility, visit Hannity.com!   IRS Scandal to DC Today there was a bombshell hearing in Congress related to the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups. Two people testifying were Elizabeth Hofacre. Hofacre was one of those “low-level, rogue agents” who worked for the Office of Exempt Organization (EO) in Cincinnati. Hofacre explained in her testimony the process by which these Tea Party organizations were scrutinized. She explains that in late April 2010, she was assigned by her supervisor to handle all applications for Tea Party groups seeking tax exempt status. She goes on the explain, “In my experience, this was an unusual process—I never before had to send development letters that I had drafted to EO Technical for review, and I never before had to send copies of applications and responses that were assigned to me to EO Technical for review. I was frustrated because of what I perceived as micromanagement with respect to these applications.” She was so frustrated, in fact, that she eventually transferred to another unit. By August, the IRS had developed the infamous BOLO list, with instruction on how to handle these applications. Based on this testimony alone, we know that the targeting of these groups was not isolated to just Cincinnati and went all the way to Washington in the early stages. So much for the lie that this administration has tried to feed us, whether it be from Steven Miller or Jay Carney or anyone who desperately tried to convince us that this was isolated and rogue.

The Rolling Stone Controversy In case you've missed it, Rolling Stone magazine is in hot water for its latest issue featuring a glamour shot of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the living Boston bombing suspect. The picture itself is being compared to other rock-star covers such as Bob Dylan or Jim Morrison, and the sub-headline reads: “How a popular, promising student was failed by his family, fell into radical Islam, and became a monster." The article goes on to try and humanize “Jahar” (as his friends call him), and tries and explain away reasons for his horrific actions. Putting a rock star picture on the cover and writing a sympathetic piece about this alleged terrorist hasn't set well with the American public, and I can completely understand why. The glorification of criminals has somehow become chic in our cultural, and it lacks complete decency and disregards those who were tragically affected by the bombings. While I recognize that Rol ling Stone has the right to print the issue, I do believe that it was in poor taste and they will suffer the economic consequences of their decision to do so.
