Obama said he learned of IRS issue last Friday via Press reports - Did he just lie.. again?

10 minutes ago at Press Conference

Carney stated that the White House was notified "several weeks ago" about the IRS situation.

Why the hell did they not launch an investigation then?

And why did Obama just lie to our face...AGAIN ?

    His "lying again", is a matter of interpretation, since every word out of his mouth could also be understood as just the continuation of the same one big lie.

    People want jobs and to be safe from terrorist attacks they don't care who gets audited by the IRS. Few people have any sympathy for those who get political welfare and tax breaks while most of us are taxed to death in this country. Next year, we should all file a 501 C-4 form and claim we are a political organization which prevents the IRS from auditing us. It would be a perfect way to laundry money.

    The "White House" is a building with lots of people in it. The President is an individual. People in the White House in various departments get notified of a lot of stuff on a daily basis that never reaches the ears of the President. He is not and should not be a micromanager.

    Unless you have specific evidence the POTUS himself was notified, by who and when then you are a liar by calling him a liar.

    Obama may have actually been truthful about that. He is known for skipping daily briefings.

    I would assume so, especially given how everyone assured us how brilliant he was. The only other explanation is utter incompetence, which we were assured was not the case.

    It is an absolute fact that everywhere the President goes he is in constant contact with important matters. There is no way he could avoid it. Yes he lied.

    Yes he lied. If low information voters know then certainly he does.
