Barack Obama blames US Navy for increased North Korean tensions.
Red State ^ | 4/7/13 | Moe Lane

Posted on 04/07/2013 10:47:54 AM PDT by Nachum

Ever notice that this administration is only lightning-fast when it comes to shifting blame when things don’t work out perfectly? They practically left a vapor trail in their zeal to anonymously accuse the US military of being responsible for our tense situation with North Korea:

So, it’s the Navy’s fault that the U.S.-North Korea spat has gone so far?

That’s the apparent message from senior administration officials who, according to the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, said that they had long planned to send B-52s, B-2 stealth bombers, and F-22 fighters to the Korean Peninsula as part of preplanned wargames with South Korea, but that they had not planned the recent deployment of Navy destroyers.

Last weekend, the U.S. ordered two guided-missile destroyers to the Western Pacific — the U.S.S. John S. McCain and the U.S.S. Decatur — to provide additional defense against North Korean ballistic missiles.

Would that be "delegation of responsibility?"

Plaque on Harry S Truman's desk: "The Buck Stops Here."

Plaque on Ronald Reagan's desk: "Anyone can do anything if they don't care who get's the credit."

Plaque on what's his name's desk: "Out to Lunch."

Cowardly, weasely,lying, phony American Chicago sewer denizen.

I want a military man as Commander-in-Chief not some scrawny little fairy wanker who hasn’t done anything significant other than frequent bath houses, smoke dope, and lie like hell. He had to make up stories about having a girlfriend.

He is an experiment gone wild! He spends money like it belongs to someone else. Isn’t that strange?

How he was able to father those two girls will remain a mystery known only to himself and the wookie.

No, dereliction of duty.

I've heard the quote attributed to Henry Ford, "It's amazing what a man can accomplish if he doesn't care who gets credit."

What’s he bitching about? After all, he has an admiral who has publicly stated that “global warming” is the biggest strategic threat we face.

It is right down embarrassing how little this Obama person really is....he was even blaming someone or something while he was missing hoops playing basketball recently. Barry and Hillary are really a pair to draw too....together they made huge mistakes in that area over the last four years.

The Commie is just disappointed that the Nork missiles can’t reach Texas.

The Commander-in-Chief.

Why is he spouting off when he loves to claim that title?

Obama is right, of course and heads need to roll at the highest levels. Let’s start with the guy in charge of the Navy, the Commander and Chief.

Several different quotes to keep in mind about Obama, use at your leisure.

“The most deceitful persons spend their lives in blaming deceit, so as to use it on some great occasion to promote some great interest.” Francois de La Rochifoucauld (1613-1680)

“Blame is a lazy man’s wages.” Danish Proverb

“draw the Curtain, the Fraud is over.” Francois Rebalais

Actually you are right the first time...he is chief of some tribe in Kenya, where he was born.

Obama wasn’t born here so he doesn’t know:

A commander-in-chief is the person exercising supreme command authority of a nation’s military forces.

According to Article II, Section 2, Clause I of the Constitution, the President of the United States is commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces.
