Obama names budget official Werfel as acting IRS head May 16th 2013, 19:58 WASHINGTON | Thu May 16, 2013 3:36pm EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama named top White House budget office aide Danny Werfel to be acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, the White House said. Obama ousted acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller late on Wednesday shortly after the revelation the IRS had targeted conservative groups for special scrutiny. The president called the targeting inexcusable, but the incident has become a embarrassment for him. Werfel is controller of the White House Office of Management and Budget. He was in the public eye earlier this year when he briefed reporters about deep government spending cuts that went into effect March 1 under the process known as sequestration.
