Breitbart Big Peace ^ | 8-17-13 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 08/17/2013 9:23:16 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

The Washington Examiner is reporting that Obama "apparently" did not know about the extent of the violence in Egypt until National Security Adviser Susan Rice informed him of it on August 15.

CNN's Jack Tapper reported that the violence that has filled world news outlets for two days and has resulted in hundreds of deaths is just now reaching the president via the individual who infamously blamed Benghazi on a YouTube video.

I agree with you 100%. I believe the press conference questions are written by the white house and handed out just before it starts. Watch the left wingers look down at their notes when they ask him a question.

Think about this: They only had to cheat in four states to win re-election. There are that many idiots in this country.

The poor guy - he’s always the last to know.

President Jarrett treats him like a mushroom.

I wonder if Obama has heard that the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor,

He is the leader of the most powerful nation on earth, but nobody ever tells him anything!

Sssshhh...No need to tell Hussein anything since he makes no actual policy decisions. Those who do are hidden behind Oz's curtain; not that the media doesn't know as well, so they behave and go along with the script.

So we have a clueless President, a clueless media, and a millions of sheeple who still somehow believe a now mythical American Republic still exists. Along with the Easter Bunny.

BIGGEST. CHARADE. EVER.

Well, he was playing cards during the bin Laden raid...

We still don’t know what he was doing during Benghazi...

So his Arab Spring baby is on fire and he doesn’t know what is going on?

Sort of seems feasible for the ignoramus.

Isn’t the resident on another vacation right now? Who likes to be bothered while on vacation?


Apparently he doesn’t like to be bothered even in the White House - viewed the Reggie Love video where he said that while the the Bin Laden thing was going down he and the president were in the president’s quarters playing 15 rounds of spades....!

Thanks. I'm glad I'm not the only one noting the obvious -- that it is verboten at pressers to demand 0buma answer the bell!

During the entire last five years, at EVERY 0buma press conference, at EVERY SOTU, EVERY single MSM report has been one badly scripted, absurd charade that ignores the herd of elephants in the room.

Why keep pretending EVERYTHING isn't scripted? Including cratering the US Constitution?

How has this phony managed to have evaded EVERY scandal that normally would have impeached any other President long ago? How has he evaded answering thousands of pertinent, uncomfortable question regarding these several toxic scandals?? Avoided ANY specific questions regarding:

1) Chronic race-baiting

2) Destabilization of the entire Middle-East?

3) Benghazi

4) Fast & Furious

5)NSA

6)IRS

7) Illegal political assassinations of conservative groups?

8) Purposeful utter destruction of the US economy??

9) Why it's become a criminal offense to "offend" the President?

10-1000) Why his phantom past and records still has never been exposed, why this has become an imperial Presidency and...what of the 990 cases of crony corruption, crony criminality, crony Gangsta-ism, and other obvious cases illegal/unethical scandals?

Easy. Especially when the media are nothing but props and Stepford Wives, Republicans "leadership" are lapdog-props, and Democrat supporters are on LSD and lithium.

Don't bother Obama with trivial matters, he's too busy golfing! And, what happened with Basketball? Guess he's too embarrassed to play after that episode at the White House where he missed 20 of 22 shots at the Easter Egg Roll!

It is hard to believe that the Presdential Daily Briefing has not had extensive coverage of the situation in Egypt for at least the last month.

But... It is being prepared by Susan Rice and everyone knows she has a serious problem with the truth. That is, if he really didn’t know what was going on the National Security Advisor is incompetenent...

WWHS... “What difference does it make?”?

"Doesn't this turd watch CNN?"

If he watched CNN, that would make him misinformed, instead of just uninformed. The article is about when he was informed.

There’s no doubt in my mind it’s nothing more than blackmail when it comes to most republicans in congress. Then there are those who are addicted to the pampering they get as members of congress. Over the years the people made them feel special.

The media lap dogs simply hate republicans just like the liberal voters. They hate republicans and conservatives so much they’re willing to let anyone who fights them get away with anything they want to do.
