BREAKING: Obama says he learned of IRS focus on conservative groups when news reports broke Friday.
— The Associated Press (@AP) May 13, 2013
Hogwash, indeed. As Twitchy reported, President Obama was in full stompy foot disgrace mode during his joint presser with U.K. Prime Minister Cameron today. He shamefully called the Benghazi talking points investigation a “sideshow.”
He was also questioned about the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups.
First question from AP at press conference w/ Obama and PM Cameron: When did you learn about IRS and did WH lie about Benghazi?

The AP’s Julie Pace gets the question at the Obama presser, asking about IRS and Benghazi.

Obama: “I don’t want to comment prematurely…” says if allegations are true “then that’s outrageous”

Huh. He doesn’t want to say they “acted stupidly”? Um. They have admitted to doing it, President Liar Pants.
Friday: IRS apologizes for targeting conservatives.Monday: Obama says “if” they targeted conservatives, that’s bad.

Does Obama think the #IRS just made up that they targeted conservatives?
— L K (@OrwellForce) May 13, 2013
Citizens aren’t buying what Obama is selling.
Only David Plouffe – RT @rbpundit: BREAKING: Obama pretends he heard of the #IRS scandal from the news reports. (Does ANYONE believe this?)
— Cameron Gray (@Cameron_Gray) May 13, 2013
Heh. As Twitchy reported, Obama henchman David Plouffe excused the IRS targeting: Well, the groups were “flourishing” and all.
Literally. RT @howardkurtz: Obama says he learned of IRS abuses from news reports. If so, unbelievable the agency didn’t notify him
— Sunny (@sunnyright) May 13, 2013
Countdown until emails reveal people close to Obama, including senior staff, knew of the IRS scandal before Friday…
— Sunny (@sunnyright) May 13, 2013
So Obama didn’t learn about what his own IRS was doing for more than two years until Friday.

Shorter Obama, “I’m not evil, I’m incompetent” RT: @byronyork: Obama: I first learned about IRS situation from the news.

Bam!
@monicacrowley The only thing Obama did today was pour a 10 gallon can of gas onto a fire.

Yep. Both Benghazi and IRS are trending on Twitter.
Congratulations for @jpacedc For shooting to the Top of #Twitter with her Question IRS AND BENGHAZI! Great Job and good questions! #Benghazi

Indeed. Unlike the New York Times, who is madly spinning for the Obama administration and the IRS, Ms. Pace did her job. And did it well.
Follow @jpacedc. That is all.
— Chris Moody (@Chris_Moody) May 13, 2013
Agreed RT @markknoller Well done to AP’s @jpacedc for asking Pres Obama about both the IRS and the Benghazi matters.
— Bret Baier (@BretBaier) May 13, 2013
And this Twitter user puts Obama’s credulity-straining claim in a nutshell.
Obama didn’t know beforehand about Fast & Furious, Benghazi, and the IRS scandal – But he knew everything about Jason Collins & Sandra Fluke

No more hiding, President Obama.
