Obama and the IRS: The Smoking Gun?

By Jeffrey Lord on 5.20.13 @ 6:11AM

President met with anti-Tea Party IRS union chief the day before agency targeted Tea Party.
...
In short: the very day after the president of the quite publicly anti-Tea Party labor union — the union for IRS employees — met with President Obama, the manager of the IRS “Determinations Unit Program agreed” to open a “Sensitive Case report on the Tea party cases.” As stated by the IG report.

The NTEU is the 150,000 member union that represents IRS employees along with 30 other separate government agencies. Kelley herself is a 14-year IRS veteran agent. The union’s PAC endorsed President Obama in both 2008 and 2012, and gave hundreds of thousands of dollars in the 2010 and 2012 election cycles to anti-Tea Party candidates.

When conservatives realize the IRS has a union there might be no hope for the organization, lol. I myself didn't know they were unionized but I guess that's not surprising at all.

Why does the IRS need a union? Were poor, beleaguered IRS employees losing limbs in machines and slipping into vats of hot lard after working 120 hrs/week for 20c/day?

IIRC, we long ago crossed the line where more Union members worked for the government than not.

Ever wonder why Unions no longer represent real workers? They now represent the interests of the government and corporatacracy.

If the IRS union went on strike, who would fight to get them back on the job?

This is good stuff. Closer to the Obamanation. Of course there will soon be a press release stating it was an unfortunate coincidence.
