The IRS stuff started under a Bush appointtee and your also going with a very partisan translation of what Obama said about and ignoring what doesn't fit.

Now, make no mistake, our nation is still threatened by terrorists. From Benghazi to Boston, we have been tragically reminded of that truth. But we have to recognize that the threat has shifted and evolved from the one that came to our shores on 9/11. With a decade of experience now to draw from, this is the moment to ask ourselves hard questions -- about the nature of today's threats and how we should confront them.

What it boils down to is you now have somebody from the other party in power like I did with Bush and you (surprise) don't trust them. You can't have it both ways though. There might however be enough upset partisan conservatives out there that some real checks and balances could be implemented with these programs.

Fair play!
