Obama is in charge of the executive branch. If there is waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government, Obama is responsible for it. The notion that “the IRS scandal doesn’t reach Obama” is spin. Obama is responsible for the IRS, just as a private sector CEO is held strictly liable for the unethical and unlawful conduct of subordinates in his company. The standard is not whether Obama can be found to have personally reviewed the tax filings of tea party groups. The same goes for the hundreds of billions of dollars in waste and abuse, including crony capitalist deals, which steal from the people to fund politically-motivate projects and line the pockets of favored constituencies. With the coming debt ceiling debate, let us remember the dishonesty and corruption that defines this president and his administration.
