The news two days ago was all about how the IRS used suppressive tactics on tea party groups.
The news yesterday was all about how the Department of Justice spied on the Associate Press. That one upsets the newsies because it affects them.
The news today is about how the Department of Justice will investigate the first item, above. Fox, can you find you own way to the hen house?
The Obama administration has left a trail of stories about how one agency or another did something to further Obama's political agenda, promote its constituents over others, or punish someone. For example, there was the time the NLRB sued to block Boeing from moving a factory from Washington, a forced union membership state, to South Carolina, a right to work state.
In the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico environmental groups pressured the Fish and Wildlife Service to hamper the energy industry by trying to classify a lizzard and a prairie chicken as protected species. This is especially ironic given the vast open spaces in Texas and New Mexico and the relatively tiny areas actually used for oil and gas extraction.
There are probably stories like this coming from every red state. So the question is obvious. Which agencies has Obama NOT used to punish the people who do not support him?
