When this happened before under Bush, no one blamed him.
But the moment it happens under a liberal? BIG SCANDAL! Lets ignore that it happened under a Bush appointee who led the IRS till 6months ago. It HAS to be Obama's fault despite the fact that the IRS is independent of his administration.
How Obama can stay calm in face of this blatant double standard boggles my mind.
