Obama: No more 'finger-pointing' (LOL)

President Obama will deliver a stern warning to his appointees at a meeting Tuesday afternoon that he won’t tolerate efforts by the CIA, the State Department and others to shift blame for the recent intelligence foul-up to other parts of the government, said spokesman Robert Gibbs.

“We are going to move beyond agency finger-pointing,” Gibbs told reporters. “The president will not find acceptable a response where everybody gets in a circle and points at someone else. The American people won’t accept that.”

He even blames the founding fathers for the economic and social injustices of our Constitution.

The should all get out of a circle and point at Obama and his incompetence, for his selection of the group of pointing incompetents is the real reason we are in more danger from Muslim terrorists. Of course, such honesty and self-examination is far beyond this gang.

Ya’ll are missing the obvious *nuance* here. Gibbs said, “We are going to move beyond agency finger-pointing...”

Clearly, EXECUTIVE finger-pointing is still acceptable in their book.

Obama is a failure that if we had an honest, objective media, would literally probably have impeachment hearings scheduled for treason, incompentence and malice towards his country, if he isn’t Kenyan.

If we had an honest media, that suckbag Obama wouldn't be in office in the first place.
