The Oregon 9/12 Project is one of hundreds of conservative organizations across the country whose freedom agenda was intentionally frozen in place by the Obama Internal Revenue Service. The success of the 2010 midterm elections shocked the Democrats and led to the glacial pace with which Tea Party groups were considered for tax exempt 9-12 projectstatus by the Obama Administration.

It’s one of the biggest scandals in a scandal ridden White House (see story below). Watergate pales by comparison. 

After ignoring, castigating, demeaning, maligning, demonizing, and freezing–in that order–Tea Party groups, the President has deemed Oregon’s 9/12 Project acceptable to participate in policy debates. AFTER he froze them out of the 2012 campaign.
