Nearly half of Americans say President Obama is not telling the truth when he says he was ignorant of the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of Tea Party groups according to a new poll conducted by Bloomberg:
Forty-seven percent of Americans say they don’t believe Obama compared with 40 percent who say he is being truthful, according to a Bloomberg National Poll of 1,002 adults conducted May 31 through June 3.
More than half of political independents -- 53 percent -- say Obama’s explanation that he learned it from media reports is untrue, while 34 percent say they believe him.
"How could he not know?" said poll respondent June Wilshusen, 50, of Yuma, Colorado, a political independent and a stay-at-home wife married to a machinist. "I think any president has to know what’s going on with our government. I think they’re very aware of the IRS."
