State of the Union: 5 things president failed to tell Americans

State of the Union: 5 things president failed to tell Americans « Watchdog.org:

"2. IRS harassment isn’t a big issue for the Obama people.

 Jordan Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice, which is suing the government on behalf of 41 conservative and tea party groups after allegations of targeting by the Internal Revenue Service, said he wasn’t surprised that Obama did not mention the controversy.

 “They’re taking every step possible to minimize this scandal and the targeting that was done,” Sekulow said.

“This is your Department of Justice, your FBI, paid for with taxpayer dollars.

It’s not a place for partisan politics … To this date, no one’s been fired.

Some people have retired, some have resigned.

We’ve had one person take the Fifth —  Los Lerner — and those are key finds that there was more than just bureaucratic mistakes afoot here.”



 3. NSA spying will continue.

 Despite a major National Security Agency leak threatening to undermine America’s national and economic security, fueling domestic and international backlash over fears of a growing Orwellian electronic surveillance nightmare, President Obama gave the scandal a passing mention during his address."
