The President just gave what by all accounts was the most useless say nothing Presidential statement in history.
Considering that wish-fulfillment of the GOP would be that this President resign in disgrace while condemning his own Party and allowing the GOP to become the Leading Force in American Political Life (I hope that we all know what that formulation means -- hint: visions of hammer-and-sickles should go through your head, if for methods of government but not for the economic agenda)... I am not surprised at this.
The GOP hates the IRS and would prefer that taxes be the responsibility of the common man instead of economic elites who owe nothing to anyone but are entitled to everything. Barack Obama is very cautious, perhaps because he is not good at making split-second decisions based upon contradictory information (really, nobody does that well). Investigating the media for security breaches? We still have a war in Afghanistan and we still have terrorists to deal with -- as shown in Libya, where a post-Qaddafi government had yet to establish effective control of the entire country.
