DAVID GREGORY: Bob Woodward, you're no stranger to these kinds of controversies in Washington. How has the administration handled this, this past week? BOB WOODWARD: Well, first of all, I mean people are making comparisons to Watergate. This is not Watergate. But there are some people in the administration who have acted as if they want to be Ni

CHRIS WALLACE, "FOX NEWS SUNDAY" HOST: Brit, let me pick up on that, because the White House is putting out the word, indeed, over the course of this weekend that this president, you know, despite his problems, that he's going to deal with the problems, is determined to pursue his agenda on immigration, on jobs, on the budget, on energy. But again

KATRINA VANDEN HEUVEL: Even the "National Review" had an editorial this week, "Scandal is No Agenda." Now I would argue that the Republican Party is unified by its determination to obstruct President Obama. It's doing a good job. One of the terrible things this past week to see again how it's obstructing the confirmation of appointees needed to run

BOB SCHIEFFER: When the burglars broke into Democratic Headquarters at the Watergate, a lot of us back then found it hard to believe. Why would anyone break into a political headquarters? What did they hope to find? Bumper stickers? Yard signs? Nobody is dumb enough to pull a stunt like that. But they were! I admit I had about the same rea

DAVID GREGORY, "MEET THE PRESS" MODERATOR: One more on this. Kim Strassel, writing in The Wall Street Journal, leveled this charge at the Obama saying it really does start at the top. And here was her reasoning, her argument. She said, "The media and Congress are snooping for some hint that Mr. Obama picked up the phone and sicked the tax dogs on h

DAVID GREGORY: Here's what else people know about Obamacare. They may not know exactly how it helps them. They do know this: if they're an employee, if they’re a salaried employee, and they get their pay stubs, when they get their paycheck on Fridays, what do they see is a new line item. And it's called the Medicare surtax. And it's a lot of mone

GEORGE WILL: Big government. The best construction on the IRS scandal is big government is impossible to monitor. That's the lesson of this. RON FOURNIER: But any government has to be trusted. WILL: Any government has to be trusted. But the bigger the government gets, the bigger the distrust ought to be and will be. (This Week, May 19

Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) discusses the IRS targeting scandal on ABC's "This Week." "There was an audit done by the inspector general, but we've not had an investigation yet," he said. "That's why a bipartisan investigation at the Senate Finance Committee and at the Ways and Means Committee is necessary. I also think a special counsel is going t

ROVE: As to Brit’s comment, I think he’s absolutely right. These emails raise more questions than they answer. For example, 9:24 on Friday afternoon, Friday evening. We have Victoria Nuland saying, my building, neither I nor my building, the State Dept. spokesman says neither I, nor my building are happy with these talking points at this point.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These men were many things to many people and they knew full well the role that racism played in their life. But when it c

WALLACE: Well, let's start with your question to acting Commissioner Miller. Why do you think he and other top officials did not tell Congress when they learned a year ago, in May of 2012, about the political targeting of conservative groups? Do you think this was just a bureaucracy trying to protect itself, or do you think it had something to do w

CBS News political director John Dickerson, Politico's Lois Romano, the New York Times' David Sanger, and the Washington Post's Dan Balz discuss whether recent controversies will prevent Washington from doing any actual policymaking

SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL (R-KY): There is a culture of intimidation throughout the administration. The I.R.S. is just the most recent example. Let me just recount a few for your audience. Over at HHS, back during the Obama-Kerry debates, Secretary Sebelius sent out a directive to health insurance companies telling them they couldn't inform their policy

CHRIS WALLACE, "FOX NEWS SUNDAY" HOST: Let's turn to Benghazi. And I want to ask you about one lingering question, which is the president's actions on 9/11, the night of the attack, because we don't know very much about that. We do know that in the afternoon he had already scheduled meeting with Defense Secretary Panetta as well as the chairman of

NBC: On this episode of PoliticsNation, Al Sharpton (played by SNL's Kenan Thompson) works to get to the bottom of the IRS targeting Tea Party and other conservative groups.

DAN PFEIFFER, OBAMA SENIOR ADVISOR: What [the Benghazi emails] absolutely do show, beyond a shadow of the doubt is that the Republican allegation that the White House, the State Department, someone else changed the CIA's assessment for political reasons. That has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be false. So hopefully we can put this all behind
