Here is a old, old picture of Barack Obama with Eric Holder at the AG’s swearing in ceremony. These are the men at the center of three Obama scandals embroiling the administration in controversy. From the IRS to Benghazi to eavesdropping on the AP, surely there is enough fuel for this week’s caption contest.

Barack Obama announced yesterday that Steven Miller, the acting head of the Internal Revenue Service, is stepping down as the IRS – Tea Party scandal appears to be widening in scope. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney refused to answer many new questions from the press, citing an ′ongoing investigation′ by the Justice Department. However, we are learning that the bureaucratic tom-foolery went well beyond just non-profit groups with ′Tea Party′ or ′9/12 Project′ in their names. Many groups dedicated to teaching the Constitution were also targeted, as well as some religious groups, including pro-Jewish organizations and Christians. We have also learned this week that many Liberal and Progressive groups were essentially ′rubber-stamped′ gaining their non-profit status, including one organization run by Obama′s half-brother.

Move over Obama-IRS scandal. Make some room, Benghazi-Gate. Barack Obama and his administration find themselves embroiled in yet another new scandal. This time over the Justice Department secretly seizing the phone records of the Associated Press! Yes, the call logs of at least 20 phone accounts, including some home and cell phone numbers, were obtained by the Justice Department as part of an investigation into National Security leaks. As many as 100 AP reporters and some editors may have been the subject of this secret probe as Obama-plumbers try to plug leaks stemming from a terror plot from Yemen which was exposed. Yet another indication of the contempt the Obama White House has for the press, as well as average Americans like those of the Tea Party and other groups who were the target of bureaucratic mischief by the Internal Revenue Service. Just as Obama and his minions showed contempt as they and underlings in the State Department lied to cover up mistakes made during the Benghazi terror attack.

The IRS apologizes to the Tea Party and other Conservative groups for targeting them on their 501C non-profit status. Lois Lerner, an official with the Internal Revenue Service issued the formal apology on Friday. The initial story appears to be that at least one IRS employee in Cincinnati flagged applications for non-profit status by any groups with the words ′Tea Party′ or ′Patriot′ in their names since 2011. The applications were delayed and demands were made for more information from such political groups, such as donors lists, Facebook postings, emails, and any contact with lawmakers. Congress plans to probe into this via its authority over the Treasury Department. Jay Carney says that the White House had nothing to do with the targeting. Even the ACLU is outraged over this action by our government.

ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl caused quite a stir resulting in another Jay Carney press conference that was entertaining, to say the least. Karl′s story was an expansion from previous ones done by others, such as Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard concerning State Department emails to the White House over the Benghazi talking points memo from last September. Fox News and CBS News had reported back then about how the memo, used by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice on Sunday morning talks shows, were modified. Last September, Jay Carney said that the White House only made one minor ″stylistic″ change, referring to the consulate in Benghazi, Libya as a ″diplomatic facility.″ But Karl reported yesterday that there had been at least 12 different drafts of the memo with whole paragraphs removed or altered, including eliminating any references to Al Qaeda or the Islamic militant group, Ansar al-Sharia.

The families and supporters of members of the SEAL Team 6 unit which was lost on August 6, 2011 in Afghanistan spoke out yesterday at the National Press Club. Some believe that the unit was set-up for assassination, perhaps betrayed by Afghanis working for the Taliban, to shoot down the CH-47 Chinook helicopter carrying 38 people, including 17 Navy SEALs. But the story gets even worse as a video shows the ′ramp ceremony′ where the bodies of the dead soldiers were returned to the United States. The Pentagon and Obama administration arranged for a Muslim cleric who was allowed to essentially insult our fallen heroes, condemning them to Hell and disparaging ″the God of Moses″. The incident paints a grim and tragic picture of how the Barack Hussein Obama administration is corrupting our military services on many levels, including political correctness and Muslim ′outreach.′

Three whistle-blowers from the State Department testified yesterday at the Benghazi hearings held by the Congressional Oversight and Reform Committee. Eric Nordstrom, Mark Thompson and Gregory Hicks appeared before Darrell Issa and the rest to give their version of what happened during the terrorist attack on our facilities in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. There was general agreement that the version of the story portrayed by the White House, and by Hillary Clinton, was inaccurate. That the Accountability Review Board was very limited in it′s investigation, never interviewing high-level officials nor even having stenographers present while taking testimony. Gregory Hicks, the Deputy Mission Chief in Libya, second only to Ambassador Chris Stevens, gave perhaps the most important statements. He said of the video-protest story which U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice presented on Sunday talk shows that he was ″stunned″ and ″embarrassed″. That ″my jaw dropped″ when he heard about her talking points.

Several news services, including Fox News and CBS News, are reporting that at least four whistle-blowers from the CIA and State Department are getting lawyers after being threatened by the Barack Obama administration. It would seem that the White House does not want them to talk with members of Congress, or the Media. But some are and the information they are providing is quite disturbing. Fox News aired the first segment of a three-part interview last night with one ′special ops operator′ who claims that there was a 40-man military unit in the region that was specifically trained for responding to an attack like the one in Benghazi, Libya which ended with four Americans killed, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. Also, that there were at least 22 other military and CIA combat-trained ′shooters′ in Tripoli who could have been sent to Benghazi, but never were.
