But, but, but ... didn't Obama say that those involved should be held accountable for their actions. Pleading the fifth does not sound like being accountable for their actions to me.

Americans enjoy paying taxes on all of their income.
Thanks for that knee slapper. Obama is harboring at least three dozen tax cheats right on his own staff! Together, this bunch has made a joke of this administration's shopworn line about the “rich paying their fair share of taxes.” They owe a collective $833,970 in back taxes
Clearly, AG Eric Holder doesn’t care about the tax cheats who work for him either. An IRS report says 2,069 employees of his Department of Justice owe more than $17 million.
The aggregate amount owed to the IRS by all federal employees is a stunning $3.4 BILLION, which is an increase of 3% just since last year.
So Barack Obama, the guy with the “most transparent” administration in history, has thousands of employees that are tax cheats.

The IRS is the same organization that is going to enforce payments for ObamaCare. We should all question everything these people do.

Japan needs to step up its education campaign against all illegal drugs. Pot has been found time and again to be a gateway drug to use of harder narcotics. Weed fiends are the scourge of all advanced societies.

After four years of largely dodging the grubby controversies that often dog U.S. presidents
Only with a little help from their friends within the MSM. I'm having a difficult tme mustering up any sympathy for the AP. It's ironic that one of the leading Obama lap dog "news" organizations was wiretapped by the very administration it swore to uphold and defend.

So true, Wolfpack.
Appears that on-the-job training thingy hasn't quite worked out for Obama. Of course, one has to first show up for work. I mean, telling us he learned about IRS-gate only after watching it on TV news last Friday?

The left truly wants to take guns away from American citizens. This law contains a foot-in-the-door mechanism to lay the foundation for eventual gun confiscation.
Obama himself said to a colleague "I don't believe people should be able to own guns".

The separation of powers is the only thing stopping him from doing what he wants. Republicans may draw the ire of Obama and the U.S. leftists, but they are doing what their constituents voted them in to do.

Wow, never thought the dems had the backbone to do what's right. Glad to see some of them still recognize our freedom and the right to preseve it. What's more revealing is the fact that 16 democrats voted AGAINST the AWB provision speaks volumes about Obama's true political capital.

Let the U.S. liberal wailing, gnashing of teeth and head exploding begin. Maybe if sensible legislation were proposed, like how to remove the guns already in the hands of criminals, that would stand a real good chance of passing.

The toughest, most persistent and intelligent British MP or PM in the House of Commons since Sir Winston stood at the podium. I heard her when she spoke at Ft. Bliss. A powerful speaker. I used to watch her masterful work on CSPAN and CNN back in the day and was always impressed by her debate skills. I never saw her match in any discussion on any topic.
Farewell to one of Britain's finest and one of my country's staunchest allies in the world and for all time. God bless you, Baroness Thatcher.

What is really sad is the Labour party actually had to issue a party-wide memo reminding its staff and members (including standing/incumbent members of the House) to remain respectful because they don't trust them to have the common decency to restrain themselves. The unions and other left wing socialist organizations have been whooping with joy and high-fiving themselves in their reaction: George Galloway saying "tramp the dirt down on her grave" for one.
Utterly tasteless.
