Candidates
Internal Revenue Service
The Obama administration used the Internal Revenue Service to help the reelection. The IRS openly championed Democrat causes by, for example, putting on special conferences to show black churches how to express political opinions without losing their tax-exempt status, all the while stonewalling [[tea party] groups with questions ranging from queries about religion to personal relationships.[1] James Taranto in the Wall Street Journal wrote that "Barack Obama’s reelection deserves to be listed with an asterisk in the record books. We know only that he did win with the help of a corrupt IRS. And if indeed the election was stolen, many in the media were complicit in its theft."[2]
