President Obama showed up at a press briefing Thursday to address the Philippines typhoon as well as an American typhoon called Obamacare. Former FOX News reporter Major Garrett, now with CBS News, was there and presented the president with some tough questions.

Addressing the infamous 'like your plan...keep your plan' claim, Major posed this question to Obama:

Who Me? Basically that was the answer. Now he is saying he was responsobile at the same time saying he did not know. In other words, someone else did it, not me, I was just relying on what they told me. Someone must have told him he won the election too as it seems he is sitting in the Oval office, on occasion, or more usually flying about in the company plane.

Who writes Obama's stuff? Bart Simpson?

I didn't do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can't prove a thing.

"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow, and our planet began to heal."

FIVE years Mr. pResident, FIVE years. One trillion dollars extra debt for each of the FIVE years, millions and millions still unemployed, millions more under employed. Millions and millions more on entitlement programs for which you don't even perform the most basic scxrutiny.

PACA - THREE years Mr. pResident, THREE years. You didn't know, you NEVER knew about the status of it in that entire time. You only realized after a couple of weeks into the rollout that something was wrong. Three years since that act was rammed through a Democrat House and a Democrat Senate and signed by you, devoid of ANY Republican support whatsoever.

You didn't know about he IRS, you didn't know about the NSA, CIA, FBI, ATF, DHS or anything, and you didn't know about Benghazi. You just 'didn't find out about it until you folks in the media found out about just this weekend."

Yes, the rise of the oceans began to slow and the planet began to heal. The 'rise' was replaced with an ocean full of bullshit, and the healing of PACA is becoming increasingly more evident.

When the hell is the GOP going to hammer him for this. Seems like this and everything else he didn't know about would be a good reason to not have big government policies. The GOP needs to ram it down the dems throat that big government does not work. Oh wait the GOP is controlled by the GOP-e which wants big government.

He did NOT plead ignorance. He gave a nuanced, Clintonian answer worthy of an Ivy-League trained lawyer.

He said., “I was not informed directly...” He admits he was INFORMED. He admits he was told. Of course he was told.

Who did he think should inform him besides Valerie Garrett and the HHS Director? The software engineers?

The GOPe will not hammer him. They are the loyal [but not too vocal] opposition. If they made asses of themselves undercutting Obama, they would lose that second-tier status in the DC Country Club the Administration and Democrats deign to give them.

Second-tier power? What is that? The ones really in control KNOW they need willing and incentivized ‘capos’, you know the trustees, the prisoner-Vichies, the gang-bosses. Giving them money through appropriations, kickbacks and some semblance of power keeps them in line and willing to appease. It is Graham, it is McCain, it is McConnell and all the rest of the appeasers.

Seems like the premeditated murders by the gruesome twosome in Benghazi may end up being the least of these islamist’s problems.

Now he is saying he was responsobile at the same time saying he did not know.

So Obama, and the pack of Democrats who uniformly voted for this law, claim ignorance of something THEY passed and Obama signed into law over the objection of more than half of the citizens????

I wonder how many people they will burn at the stake, healthcare professionals and citizens alike, who fail to follow the law to the Nth degree for not knowing what this voluminous law and its vast maze of implementing regulations actually requires? What they have done, and are actively doing, is unconscionable and evil.

I think you have properly described Obamaland, the land of whatever der leader means when he says whatever he wants. Kind of head I win tails you lose.

I used to have a boss like that. His comment to me in confidence when he told a gaggle of employees something I knew not to be true: tell the people what they want to hear and they never question what you say.

One characteristic of a Banana Republic is the President tries to correct his errors by blaming others and making decrees outside the law. Just like our lying sos in the White Hut. It is like Venezuela or Marcus of the PI.
It is time now for conservatives to ring the White Hut and shake the fences and demand his resignation. The problem is that all the conservatives are responsible God fearing people who don’t do unlawful things..yet.

No, Obama follows Alinsky's rules. Lying is OK under Alinsky's rules.
