ABUSE-OF-POWER SCANDALS. OBAMA VS. BUSH.
OBAMA ABUSES: ZERO, MAYBE ONE. GOP ABUSES: TEN, AT LEAST!
Possible Obama abuse of govt. power against the opposition:
1)IRS scandal. Although, even if it's true, it's smart profiling. And I thought conservatives supported profiling!
Definite abuse of govt. power against the opposition by Bush and friends:
1) Planned Parenthood
2) ACORN
3) Voter ID and purges
4) Dems targeted for prosecution
5) Attorney firing scandal.
6) IRS audit of Greenpeace and NAACP
7) IRS political data collection
8) Targeting of Civil Rights and Anti-war groups
9) Spying on anti-war groups.
10) Targeting journalists.
Bonus) Maher threatened.
Bonus bonus) Moveon threatened.
