During the Benghazi murders, instead of taking charge Mr. Obama went into hiding, the various military elements having to stand down because the occupant of the White House was afraid to make decisions.

Anyone remember how the left went after Bush for not coming back to the District immediately after leaving the grade school on 9/11/01? They savage him 24x7 and it continues to this day. Current clown gets virtually no bad press no matter how egregious his actions or in actions - still worshiping and sipping the kool aid.

Absent during a crisis is a sign of a very weak insecure person. Never able to make a decision and desperate to be free from blame. Definitely not fit to be President.

"Barack just never around when bad things happen"

“I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m gonna think I’m a better political director than my political director.” - Barack Obama, 2007, as quoted by Patrick Gaspard

Yet the day-to-day functioning of the whole apparatus of his administration seems to escape his attention.

And how is this different from his performance as an Illinois senator?

I’m certain that the famous photo of Obama “overseeing” the Bin Laden raid would have disappeared if the raid had gone the way of Desert One and the new narrative would have been than military commanders acted on their own initiative. I’d bet there’s a photo in a trash can of The Won “overseeing” the Benghazi debacle if it had turned out better.

I don't recall seeing any photographs of Hitler or Heydrich inspecting the camps.

Liberals went berserk in the wake of the fall of Enron and Tyco and Adelphia, etc. After those scandals the government overreacted and put burdensome new requirements on corporations. Corporate executives and board members can now go to jail for bad financial statements, even if those financial statements resulted from the collusion of underlings without their knowledge. In other words, under our law today, executives are criminally liable even when they don’t know. The legislation pushed by liberals and mush-headed RINO’s (Sarbanes-Oxley) demanded accountability beause in their view, the men at the top always know. And on the off chance they don’t know, that lack of knowledge is itself a crime.

I am in no way excusing the crimes committed by corporate executives. I’m pointing out massive liberal hypocrisy. They want businessmen in jail, regardless of their knowledge or intent to commit a crime, but Obama did nothing wrong and he should skate because the government is too big and he doesn’t have any idea what his underlings have been doing, even when those things clearly were to his political benefit.

Frankly I don’t believe for a second Obama doesn’t know what has been going on. It is telling that feigning ignorance is his best defense, but in reality that should be no defense at all.

He may never be around, but he’s going to get to the bottom of it, he’s going to hold people accountable, and take steps to make sure this never happens again...

According to the Inspector General for Treasury, Sec Jack Lew was advised of their audit of the IRS in March ‘13 two months before Obama says he was aware of this from listening to TV news. Since he has spent over one month in total time going to and from fund raisers, wasteful overseas sightseeing and on various golf courses, perhaps he was never in the Oval Office long enough for his minions to give him a heads up. I personally do not believe he was not advised but under the circumstances, I suppose it’s possible. Since the IRS probably monitors Free Republic and Facebook maybe I should expect an IRS audit

Zero is no different than the military commanders who think they can command from the officers’ club via cell phone. Can’t run a damn thing when you’re perpetually on vacation. Doing his job bores him.
