explain, here is what happened, here is what i don t like. here is how it will change, here is who i will appoint. he has to stop being mediocre. is it too late for that, bruce? no, it is not too late at all. fraser is right, he has to stand for something. rahm emanuel said it is a shame to waste a perfectly good crisis. here is his chance to be the president for everybody, to say i m going to fix this, i find it outrageous, we re going to do whatever it takes to solve this problem. he promised that when this first came, fraser, to that point, promised a commission will look into it, someone will look into this. then low and behold you find the fbi director didn t know who was investigating this, groups that were supposedly targeted by the irs were never questioned by the investigator. it was all for show, all for theater. right. there s nobody inthe irs has ta party and who knows who else. he has to say that s wrong. that should stop.
a lot more in the loop than he s letting on. i think if he wants a legacy other than mediocrity, he has to look in the mirror, say what am i going to be. easier said than done, right, chris? who would you prefer he go after other than the irs, everybody hates the irs. it is the perfect group for him to go after. but could i just say this. i want to be on record, i love the irs. they can t do enough good work. keep sending me the letters in all caps by the way. guys, thank you very, very much. well, ed the dread. how did this guy fall so far so fast?
the irs has spent $229 million on motivational seminars. he has to say that s got to stop. the last thing anybody wants is a motivated irs agent. has he to say this will stop. in other words, he has the bully pulpit but he shrinks from it. that s why for five years, this guy was a great speaker, but for five years, you haven t really heard it. bruce, any clarification he tries on this whole scandal raises the issue that his prior comments were either wrong or wanting or lies in a worst case scenario. so he has to move gingerly, doesn t he? or does he? i would buy that if i thought people were paying attention and keeping track of this. you re keeping track. you care very much. that s a good point. continue, i m sorry. what people want to know is that something is going to happen and something is going to matter. what he s doing now is like peeling the bandaid off slowly,
neil: when it com when it comes to the irs scandal, what the president says isn t jiefg with what americans think. a new poll shows half of us don t believe the administration was out of the loop on the irs mess, that it was actually calling the shots in the irs mess. impressions tend to stick. talking about what, if anything, the president can do. it is so typical of this guy. he sluffed it off, feigned outrage, said we didn t tell them, he wasn t involved, he is president bystander. what you have to do at some point, you have to explain things, stand for something, you have to do something, speak up. he has a bully pulpit, he should
