Congress Now Set To Investigate Obama EPA Scandal…
Another scandal is now set to hammer the Obama White House – this time detailing how the Obama administration’s Environmental Protection Agency abused its authority to give favorable treatment to liberal groups while at the same time attempting to hinder or punish conservative organizations.
Lawmakers to investigate EPA FOIA scandal
Republican lawmakers are launching an investigation into claims that the Environmental Protection Agency, while giving preferential treatment to environmental groups, made it harder for conservative groups to obtain government records.
The free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute obtained documents showing that since January 2012, the EPA granted fee waivers for 75 out of 82 FOIA requests from major environmental groups and only denied seven of them, giving green groups a 92 percent success rate.
At the same time, the EPA rejected or ignored 21 out of 26 fee waiver requests from conservative groups.
What do you expect out of a two party system, or hell, even a three party system? Especially with lobbying being a common practice.
Of course dems are gonna take a hit when cons are in power and cons will take a hit when dems are in power. But they all do it.
I'd be impressed if a party played on a platform of no favouritism and actually displayed that after being elected. We all know that's not gonna happen though...

Gosh...no life at all?
That's just sad. No matter how bad the stories get for Obama they'd be the same stories on steroids if Romney were elected. Both parties are taking us to hell and the only question should be "Do you want wheels on those handbaskets?" We said NO last election. BTW:Fatten up. It's good for the heart.

Criminals and those whom choose to violate the Constitution regardless of parties are still criminals!!!
It's a shame that you still choose to represent a team, even IF they are found to be doing criminal acts!!!
Here's a motorized wheelchair for ya!

Can't seem to find any..is it just more right wing hype..aka BS?
You put a gate on the end of anything for this President. Things don't go your way? Add G-A-T-E to the end of it and you've got yourself a news story. Some people, not you of course are hard pressed to find newsworthy stories and so they take every mistake the administration has made and blow it up. If we did that to GWB he would be in jail right now along with Rumsfeld, Cheney and a few of their friends. Now be careful what you wish for because what is good for the goose is going to be just enough to hang the gander too.
