Columbia Classmate Says Obama Is Bullying Him With the IRS To Keep Shut

10/08/12

We've reported on Wayne Allyn Root three times already this year. He graduated from Columbia the same year that Obama did but never met him. And says none of his friends had met him even though they supposedly graduated in the same major.

He says something smells fishy (youtube). [link]
Interviewed by Hannity. [link]
He lists four reasons he's not releasing his records. [link]
He was audited in 2011 but it resulted in no taxes being owed. And in unprecedented fashion, he is stuck with another two years of audits for 2009 and 2010.

From WND:

became the target of an audit in January 2011 when he received an “unsettling” call from an IRS agent who called himself a fan of his and considered it “an honor” to audit him.

Root won a complete victory three months ago in tax court, which found no taxes owed in his 2007 and 2008 filings. But then, he said, something shocking happened – something his tax attorney has never heard of in his entire career. Root was hit with a new audit just five days later, for 2009 and 2010.

“That order had to come from the highest levels of government,” he asserted.

“Obama is using the power of the IRS and other government agencies to punish his political opposition and intimidate and silence his critics,” Root charged.

Libs won't care. But if you do, here is the story, with active links.

Typical Chicago thug politics from the worst President ever.

The assertions by whackos like Root that Obama never attended Columbia have been factually refuted and are absurd.

And, with that, President Obama's motivation to call the IRS to make sure that Root gets audited every year goes out the window.

Root is a pyramid scheme huckster, sports handicapper (hence the IRS audits) and general nutjob who runs for Vice-President on the Libertarian ticket as a side-line. He's managed to keep his name in the headlines with his bogus "Nobody knew Obama at Columbia" schtick which, as the Snopes link shows, is an outright lie.

Another Libertarian moonbat. Nothing to see here, move along.

Good post BOG.

Nixon tried to use the IRS as a political weapon and failed. They don't take orders from the White House.

If Odumbo gets re-elected, this sort of thing will get much worse, after he's got more "flexibility."

closer to the election the more desperate they get...

Most occupants of the White House don't add several thousands to the ranks of IRS agents and dramatically increase their scope and power. The IRS may not "take orders" but quid pro qua is very likely in this case.

Horseshit. Not only is it not "very likely", there isn't one shred of evidence to support your assertion other than your overheated Obama-hating imagination.

Maybe the IRS is adding manpower because they need to up collection efforts due to loss of treasury revenue attributable to the GOP tax cuts?

You're quite mistaken, Little Timmy! They need more IRS agents so they collect from Odumbo's Secretary of Treasury who owed $34,000 in back taxes when Odumbo appointed him, and Odumbo's White House staffers who owe $831,000.
