community at least, there is a lot of pain around what happened here -- >> for more on his comments, steve miller is a reporter for "time magazine." i was really surprised, listening to president obama this afternoon. were you? >> this is an issue the president rarely talks about. he went into detail about race in 2008, during the campaign, and since then, only gets involved when he is backed into the issue, speaking off the cuff. we got a different perspective, him speaking about his experience before being president, what it felt for him to grow up as a black man in america. it is a stunning set of remarks from the president today, and not a side of him we have seen before. >> what do you think he wants to achieve with this statement? from has been in pressure some of the black community in the united states and some of his base to lead a national conversation on race, he is trying to answer that call without launching off the national conversation. he said in his remarks today that he does not believe these national conversations amount to much. he said he wanted everybody to look inward, for

what i want to know is what specific facts have you collected which justify the replacement of steve miller? we'll begin with mr. miller. >> okay. as i mentioned earlier, the, at that level of the organization we perceived in our review a deficiency in leadership and not understanding earlier in the process the emerging challenges that were happening within the exempt organization unit, the emerging concerns that were being registered by taxpayers, a lot of the activities that were going on in the ig report should have surfaced to the leadership before the ig brought it to their attention. >> what did he fail to do? were there signals that existed that he failed to identify? did he fail to put in place quality control mechanisms that should have existed? this ought to be documented. you know, i know that throughout our federal government union protections for your rank-and-file workers are typically also applied at the higher echelons of management. so you had to overcome a pretty high threshold of evidence before the decision was made to replace steve miller. or any of these other individu

interestingly enough, one of the people who was there was steve miller. and steve had done a great job. for me he was, of course, at this time the acting commissioner of the service, had been since commissioner shulman had finished his term five months earlier. and we had talked about you may remember when i was with commissioner, we worked on abusive tax shelters, the kpmg matter. there were criminal indictments. very serious set of issues that i think we confronted and helped to clean up some untoward things that were going on in companies and in the profession. we talked about all that and, of course, that was a centerpiece of what we did. bringing back the enforcement, we used to say service plus enforcement equals compliance. but, so that's -- we were swapping stories about all that. when i got to steve to say something, i said, steve, i want you to know that perhaps the thing that i'm proudest of -- and i made reference to the shelters -- was actually the work we did in 2004 and 2006 in the election cycle. because we had complaints about politicking
