What a perfect song for President Barack Obama these days as evidenced by the recent revelation that the IRS mysteriously lost all of the Lois Lerner emails that were subpoenaed during the House investigation into the IRS targeting of conservative political groups. I realize that we are all innocent until proven guilty, but that's only in the court of law. This column is part of the court of public opinion, and this judge believes the "lost" emails are part of a presidential cover-up.

First of all, let me get up off the floor from laughing so hard that the administration is actually using an excuse that I wouldn't let my first-grader get away with. Second, please help me find the media who should be unleashing all kinds of grief on this administration for even attempting the "the dog ate my homework" excuse.

Maybe it's time for bleeding heart liberals such as Chris Matthews to put down their Obama crack pipes and start playing "hardball" with this president. We all know that Matthews dislikes conservatives, but at one time he seemed to hate government abuse of power even more. During the height of Bill Clinton's scandals, Matthews was like a pit bull going after the former president as if Clinton was wearing pork chop briefs.

I'm not sure if it's "white guilt" because Obama is the first black president, but where is the outrage from the left? Here's a simple question to test the intellectual honesty of liberals. What would the media response be if George Bush used the IRS to target liberal organizations such as Planned Parenthood, Occupy Wall Street or the ACLU?

Several years ago President Obama exposed his true colors with a Freudian slip during a Univision interview when he referred to his political opponents as "enemies."

The president told radio host Eddie Sotelo, "If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, 'we're gonna punish our enemies, and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us' ... then I think it's gonna be harder, and that's why I think it's so important that people focus on voting on November 2."

The IRS is one of the most feared and powerful agencies in America, and for the president to use this organization to target his political foes reveals Obama's dark side, the side away from his teleprompter. The subsequent cover-up makes it even more insidious.

Ever since he was a young Illinois state senator, Barack Obama had supporters that would have you believe the man with the golden vocal chords was a cuddly Ivy League-educated attorney who selflessly gave of himself as a humble community organizer. Obama's ideological colors have been exposed during his six years in the Whitehouse capped off by the use of the IRS to target his political "enemies" prior to his reelection campaign in 2012.

Don't forget it was Obama's Justice Department that refused to release pertinent documents in the fast and furious gunrunning sting that resulted in the death of a border agent. It was President Obama who lied to the American people and made seedy backroom deals to pass Obamacare. It's now Obama's State Department that is under investigation for lying about the Benghazi terrorist attack to protect Obama's reelection. It is President Obama who has illegally opened up our borders and handcuffed our agents in order to force congressional action on an amnesty bill.

With the IRS scandal it should finally be obvious to most observers that Barack Obama is a ruthless politician who will use any means necessary to create his liberal utopia.

At least President Obama is remaining true to his environmentalist base as the IRS hard drives were not destroyed but "recycled."
