Obama: 'Trayvon Martin could have been me'
Now there is more to this speech. http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/19/politics/obama-zimmerman/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 But is Obama trying to distract America from the major news of the IRS. We now know after yesterday one of two political appointees authorized the targeting of Tea Party groups. This is getting closer and closer to Obama. I noticed that some of our liberals friends have not posted in a while. Have they given up defending Obama?
Congressional testimony on Thursday from a retired IRS tax law specialist claimed that the Office of Chief Counsel, led by William Wilkins, was involved in the screening of Tea Party groups seeking tax-exempt status. Wilkins -- a former tax lobbyist-turned-attorney -- happens to be a Democratic donor and the only IRS official at the time of the scandal to have been appointed by Obama. Republicans are running with the testimony. Looking at the counsel's office is where House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, have indicated officials will take their investigation next.
