The Obama White House Tapes

[Geee]

American Spectator:

“Things tend to kinda roll down hill to the front line managers and they first have to believe that it’s really OK to do this and then they have to believe that it’s valued.…If managers were told that this was not only OK to do but that it was expected — and if they were recognized and rewarded when they do it, they would do it.” — IRS Union Chief Maureen Kelley at the White House explaining the way the federal government bureaucracy works.

“Good afternoon and welcome to the White House. I’m Valerie Jarrett, a senior advisor to President Obama…”

So begins a series of seven White House videotapes from March 31, 2010 — the day before, as now reported by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration — the IRS buckled down to the task of targeting the Tea Party.

The tapes, made by the White House for its “Council on Women and Girls” and the Council’s “Conversation on Workplace Flexibility,” reveal a close working relationship between the White House, the IRS union chief and, in addition, two ABC journalists.
