The NY Times main home page, of all places, has a video about the IRS story with Richard Nixon on the cover.
Not a good week for our President.

Could it be that the men behind the curtain have a bone to pick with our President? Could it be,like Mr.Nixon, they are getting ready to “throw him under the bus?” Could it be that Joe Biden will become the Gerald Ford of the 21st Century? Who knows? Who really cares? Modern Presidents are like puppets on a string. They are replaceable. The real power in America are the puppeteers,behind the curtain,that pull the strings. They own the money system,the Media and the politicians. Stay tuned to this station to see how things pan out.
Their outrage and newly asserted attention is craven and reactionary. Had the surreptitious collecting of AP phone records not happened, or become known, the Times would have ignored this story just like they did Benghazi.
