1. Only time will tell

The sage will continue for many weeks.

14. Time already has told this story.

See: Benghazi, Susan Rice, etc.

By elevating it even higher than is necessary with the acting director of the IRS resigning and Obama making a highly visible live statement on the matter just as folks are getting off work, you can be sure that this "scandal" is yet another one that is here to stay.

2. It's too bad they didn't announce this before it all came out.

That would have been a nip in the bud and would have really neutralized the political aspect. The way the original apology came out was a mess.

It's good he did this though. It was absolutely necessary.

9. Issa: "The President set exactly the right tone."

But says his committee and Ways and Means will continue to conduct interviews and take testimony on the issue.

10. asses at faux

[HangOnKids]

17. The Asses At Faux Couldn't Hit A Trifecta In Their Wildest Dream

At best they have a sway back toothless nag running dead last.

11. Oh no, what did I miss??

[CatWoman]

15. the president just gave a live statement

fired the IRS head, more to be fired, and put the onus on Congress to try to help fix this.

18. As well he should have...

I'd fire everyone I could that help create this stupid mess. That way the next time someone even considered something this boneheaded, they'd twitch. That way whenever the White House reverted back to republican control they'd be too afraid to even consider it. They would sit around and say...nooooo, remember what happened a few years ago. If you read one of the local newspapers, they still can't figure out what was wrong with this idea. This has caused the White House a lot of damage.
