When the lead story on the Politico is “How Not to Handle a Scandal,” you know that this administration is in some serious hot water. When you've got liberals like Keith Olbermann tweeting about the overreach of this administration, you know you've got problems. When Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post is outraged by the Obama administration, it also points to serious trouble for this administration.

Today the House Ways and Means Committee held its first hearing on the IRS scandal which broke just a week ago. Two people testified before the committee: Steven Miller, the out-going IRS commissioner, and J . Russell George, the Treasury Inspector General. Here are some of the highlights from today's testimony.

In an attempt to stop the bleeding a do damage control, yesterday the Anointed One announced the resignation of acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller, who was are already going to step down anyway.

It's pretty unbelievable that we are sitting here faced with not one, not even two, but three major scandals involving this administration. There's even a potential fourth scandal brewing, which we'll get to later.

On Friday we received a bombshell from the IRS after it issued an apology for admittedly targeting groups applying for 501(c)(4)/tax-exempt status that used the words “tea party” or “patriot.” What we were told on Friday is that “low-level” officials in the IRS office in Cincinnati were targeting conservative groups during the 2012 election season.

The IRS issued a startling apology today, admitting the fact that it actively targeted conservative political groups in 2012 for additional review. When groups would apply for tax-exempt status, words like “tea party” or “patriot” would automatically be flagged for more intense scrutiny.

As we've talked about the 100 day mark of Obama's second term, there seems to be a growing theme among those discussions: Obama is a failed leader who has lost his mojo. When asked during a press conference the other day whether he had “lost of his juice,” Obama responded, “Golly, maybe I should just pack up and go home.” Mr. President, I'll help you!

Only a few days before last night's taxpayer funded concert, the "Anointed One" claimed the sequester caused January's anemic jobs numbers by cutting critical government services. However, it didn't appear that these "severe" government cutbacks hurt the plans of the President who enjoyed a night of soul music during Tuesday's show, titled In Performance at the White House: Memphis Soul.

Well here we are. Today is the day that we finally received the Anointed One's budget. Deadlines don't seem to matter too much to this president, who is too busy playing golf with Tiger Woods, vacationing around the country and palling around with celebrities and rock stars. But his budget is finally out, so let's deal with it.

This week we are expected to (finally) receive Barack Obama's budget proposal for 2014. Two months past the deadline – after countless vacations and golf games, another just this weekend – we will finally see the president's vision for our country's future. You can tell a lot by a budget, including your priorities and your convictions.

No, this is not an April Fools joke. The Anointed One has issued a Presidential Proclamation declaring April 2013 to be … National Financial Capability Month! The proclamation reads, “Together, we can prepare young people to tackle financial challenges -- from learning how to budget responsibly to saving for college, starting a business, or opening a retirement account.” It also states, “I call upon all Americans to observe this month with programs and activities to improve their understanding of financial principles and practices.”

The IRS has deservedly received a lot of flak for spending $60,000 of your hard-earned tax dollars to produce parody videos, like the newly exposed “Star Trek” parody video.

If Washington wasn't so dysfunctional, today would just be another day rather than a historic day. Why historic? Because the Senate is expected to approve a budget resolution for the first time in four years, over 1400 days. To say “it's about time,” would be an understatement.

Lawmakers in Washington are eager to get out of town for their Easter vacation, but not before tackling budget issues.

Earlier in the week, Barack Obama told ABC's George Stephanopoulos "We don't have an immediate crisis in terms of debt. In fact, for the next 10 years, it's gonna be in a sustainable place." He also said that he has no intention of balancing the budget for the sake of balance. This is extremely hypocritical considering this is the same man who said that Bush's debt increase of $4 trillion over eight years was “irresponsible” and “un-patriotic.” We've yet to hear how the president would characterize his own $6 trillion debt accumulation over four years. My guess is that he no longer considers this “irresponsible” and “un-patriotic.”

Today, Republican Congressman Paul Ryan laid out his budget proposal to balance our budget within 10 years. He achieves this by doing the following:

This week, Republican Congressman Paul Ryan will propose his budget. His budget will accomplish the goal of balancing the budget in 10 years, but there is one essential way in which he accomplishes this: Repealing ObamaCare.

***UPDATE: Judge Halts New York City Soda Ban***

New Yorkers, drink up! Today is the last day that you will be able to buy your large sugary drinks. As of tomorrow, Nanny Bloomberg's large sugary drink ban goes into effect, limiting their size to no more than 16 ounces.

Did the Campaigner-in-Chief finally get the message? Since the election, Barack Obama hasn't left the campaign trail. The most extreme example of this behavior was his handling of sequestration. He engaged in weeks of a PR parade, predicting apocalyptic consequences if the Republicans didn't agree to his tax increases and allowed budget “cuts” to go through.

Since the election, I've been saying that conservatives now have a few real stars in the Senate: Florida Senator Marco Rubio, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Utah Senator Mike Lee and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. Yesterday, in an incredible display of principled tenacity, Senator Rand Paul proved why he is on that list.
