Scandal: In recent days, President Obama has claimed ignorance about spying on allies and the ObamaCare meltdown. How can it be this president is always the last to know whenever anything goes wrong in his administration?
Even though the NSA tapped the phones of German Chancellor Angela Merkel some time ago, President Obama claims he didn't know anything about it until after an internal review he ordered earlier this year.
Why should he? After all, "the president doesn't sign off on this stuff," one official said.
If Obama's ignorance of this seems dubious, consider that a German weekly reports that Army Gen. Keith Alexander, the NSA chief, briefed Obama on the Merkel wiretaps back in 2010.
Ridiculous or not, pleading ignorance has become routine for Obama whenever a scandal arises.

“Nobody hopes the President didn’t know anything about this more than he does.” Read this on Twitter....Clever, True and Sad

I wonder if anyone in the news media actually believes anything Obama or Carney say, at this point. Maybe they would like to believe it, but can they honestly say they do? Carney has become just like the famous “Bagdad Bob” press secretary for Saddam Hussein.

Bammy apparently watches M$NBC instead of holding Cabinet meeting and Tsar roundtables.

NOT the “last to know”.
He’s just the FIRST TO LIE. Lies early and often.

Carney:
"A desperate person who survives through trickery and the eating of human flesh. They have no life or soul and can be found in trailers, carnivals, and on a couch drinking GO2 Cola. Much like thiers zombie bretheren they can only be killed by cutting of thier head or destroying their brain."

Ridiculous or not, pleading ignorance has become routine for Obama whenever a scandal arises. This is what you would expect from an insecure, immature personality that will deny responsibility for any anything perceived to be negative and claim credit for anything positive.

Meanwhile, every Republican President is expected to be aware of every detail related to their Administration.

I hear Obama has a sign on his desk, “The Buck does not stop here”.

On the other side it says "I don't give a buck!"
0bama is like the sign my cousin had in his room when we were kids...
"The statement on the other side of this sign is a lie."

"The statement on the other side of this sign is true."

How can it be this president is always the last to know whenever anything goes wrong in his administration? Our President plays a lot of golf and takes many vacations. You and I cannot know how difficult and challenging it is to be President of the United States, a formerly great power.

Notice we haven't heard about Barack & Michelle's date nights or Wednesday night music parties at the White House lately.
I think the MS was so enamored of our hipster president that they thought we all couldn't wait to hear about their celebrity lifestyle, like Beyonce & the Kardashians.
Maybe they learned not everyone is a vacuous, star-addled fool.
