Yesterday, Holder's answers; today, Miller's answers
Posted: May 17, 2013
Holder: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know....etc. etc. etc.
Today: Miller: I don't think so, I don't think so, I don't think so. etc., etc., etc.
When a person is the head of a "department" in the government, it seems like they have no idea what goes on under them. What do they do? Do they show up for work, put their feet up on the desk, read magazines, or play games on the computer? It seems they don't know that they're supposed to make sure their employees aren't breaking the law or partying all day long.

The buck doesn't stop anywhere with this corrupt administration. - Abby

Here's what I don't get... - ZvilleMT
[ In Reply To ..]Right or wrong, Bush was blamed for everything when he was in office, right down to the high price of gasoline. But no one in the Obama administration seems to get blamed for anything, especially not Obama himself. Now, I understand about the gas part - no president has any control over that - but isn't the IRS part of the treasury, which is part of the executive branch? Of which Obama is the head?
You're right, but only a liberal can explain why. - Let's wait and see what they say.

The difference - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Whatever Bush was blamed for started with his decisions/actions or those high on the food chain in his administration.
The example of high gas prices even was blamed on him because of claims that invading Iraq would substantially lower gas prices, and when the opposite happened, Bush was blamed.
It was his idea to invade Iraq. It started at the top.
I'm not sure if I agree that Obama is escaping blame (the buck does stop with him), but if he is, it is because he did not directly have any involvement or give directions for either IRS or AP problems. Obviously it's on his watch, but he was unaware of any wrongdoing and had nothing to do with the execution of same.
That's the difference.
That's the million dollar question. I don't get it either - The Sarge
[ In Reply To ..]You are absolutely correct. Anything and everything was blamed on Bush. Even to this day they are still blaming him for things.
I don't understand why people won't hold Obama to the same level of responsibility they did with Bush. So far Obama has gotten a free pass on everything. If anyone says anything and wants to get to the truth they are either spit in the face with you are a hater, a racist, and everything else they can think of to get the focus off the issue. The IRS is indeed part of the EB, of which he is the head and of which all presidents know what is going on.
Besides, it shouldn't really matter if indeed he's been on so many vacations he just can't remember all these corrupt things happening under him. It should matter because he did say numerous times "The buck stops with me" "The buck stops here" "I am ultimately responsible"
Yes, it's clear that Bush should never have appointed - SM
[ In Reply To ..]Steven Miller.
I will ALWAYS blame Obama for not getting rid of ALL of Bush's appointments upon becoming President. It's the only way to have an honest administration.
I have to wonder if Stevens did this on purpose to make Obama look bad, probably with some republican guidance.
Sorry, but the Obama Administration appointed Miller - Truthhurts

Please note: what Miller's duties were BEFORE being appointed acting Commissioner and, BTW, the IRS targeting conservative groups and certain religious groups only started in 2009, from what I read.
From Miller's biography: Prior to his appointment as the Deputy Commissioner for Services and Enforcement, Steve served as the Commissioner of the Large Business and International Division. In this position, he had oversight for federal tax administration for domestic and foreign corporations and partnerships with assets of $10 million or more that have a United States tax filing requirement. Previously, as the Commissioner of the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division, Steve oversaw the administration of tax law relating to employee plans, tax-exempt organizations and various government entities. Steve also served as the Director of Exempt Organizations and as the acting Assistant Commissioner and Special Assistant to the Assistant Commissioner, Employee Plans/Exempt Organizations.
Miller, a 25-year career IRS employee, was appointed acting commissioner on November 9, 2012. According to the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998, his 210-day term would have set his last day in that post as June 8.
Here are the facts:
Steven Miller was a 25-year career IRS employee, was appointed acting commissioner on November 9, 2012. According to the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998, his 210-day term would have set his last day in that post as June 8. G.W. Bush wasn't president last year, now was he?
Please note what Miller's duties were BEFORE being appointed acting Commissioner by Obama from Miller's biography: Prior to his appointment as the Deputy Commissioner for Services and Enforcement, Steve served as the Commissioner of the Large Business and International Division. In this position, he had oversight for federal tax administration for domestic and foreign corporations and partnerships with assets of $10 million or more that have a United States tax filing requirement.

Steve also served as the Director of Exempt Organizations and as the acting Assistant Commissioner and Special Assistant to the Assistant Commissioner, Employee Plans/Exempt Organizations.
Please, also note that the targeting started in June 2009 (check out Planned Parenthood's article) when Miller was Commissioner of Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division (see highlighted bolded paragraph above).
While Miller was in his previous position, Shulman was the Commissioner from 2008, confirmed BY THE SENATE (majority of Democrats, or did you forget that?) until Miller was appointed in 2012.
March 2008 then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson announced the appointment of Shulman to a five-year term as IRS commissioner. In a statement announcing the move, Paulson noted that Shulman's experience restructuring the IRS made him an ideal candidate for the position.
The IRS is supposed to be apolitical, not affiliated with one party or the other. I have searched but all I could find is this:
Federal Election Commission records show Shulman donated $500 to the Democratic National Committee in 2004 while working as an executive at NASD, so I would assume he is a Democrat.
As for Miller, I can't find out what party he belongs to nor if he ever donated to any party.
Yes, they obviously confirmed Bush's appointment. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]So what?
It's not a "so what." - Truthhurts
[ In Reply To ..]Employee/ promotion is a lot different than being appointed to a position.
Miller wasn't confirmed or appointed by Bush.
He WORKED; i.e., was EMPLOYED in the IRS for 25 years; he was only an EMPLOYEE.
He was PROMOTED by Paulson to the position he had until Obama APPOINTED him to the position he is now leaving.
Know the difference now?
I apologize. I meant to write that Bush appointed - sm
[ In Reply To ..]SHULMAN.
My error.
I will ALWAYS blame Obama for NOT getting rid of ALL Bush appointees when he first took office.

Hello, I am wondering, having always had problems with faith, what the reason is that we cannot see God. I have heard it said that this is because He wants us to have free will, but also the response to that being that we would still have free will as to whether or not we chose to worship Him and follow His laws, just as we have the option of whether or not we break the laws of man/society.
