QOTD: "Obama didn't know the IRS was targeting conservatives until he read it in the papers. He didn't know about "Fast and Furious" until he read it in the papers, too. He has "complete confidence" in Holder, and didn't know about the decision to collect the phone records of reporters. He didn't know about the investigation into CIA director David Petraeus's affair. He told Letterman during the election he didn't know what the national debt was. He didn't know about the AIG bonuses in the TARP legislation. He said he didn't know how bad the economic crisis was when he took office.

That "empty chair" metaphor from the Republican convention was so out of line, huh?" --Jim Geraghty
