Obama, the unaccountable president
The Washington Times ^ | May 21, 2014 | Joseph Curl

“All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that’s an alibi for my ignorance.”

— Will Rogers

Has there ever been a president in the history of America who knew less than President Obama?

With each new crisis and scandal, Mr. Obama tells Americans that he just didn’t know.

He didn’t know the Veterans Administration was letting America’s veterans languish and die unattended — he learned about it in the newspaper.

He didn’t know the Justice Department was trolling phone records of members of the U.S. media. He didn’t know the ATF was running guns into Mexico; didn’t know the NSA was spying on the German chancellor; didn’t know the Obamacare website was a disaster; didn’t know the IRS was targeting conservative groups.

With every scandal, the president — the CEO of the United States, if you will — said he first learned about it in the papers. If he were head of Apple or IBM, he’d have been fired years ago, because in business, it’s your job to know, and ignorance is, frankly, even worse than failing. Fail = fired....

The really shameful thing is that there’s about 25 percent of the electorate who know exactly what he’s doing. He knows they know, and doesn’t care, but thumbs his nose directly at them.

Apparently the American public does not care much about what he does. They are basking in the sun of proving that they are not racist by voting for the ignorant America hating Commie btard. Even more sickening, they did it twice.

Ignorance is inexcusable in a leader no matter what the libs tell you.

Simple Alinsky tactics. They work every time for this guy because the media and half the population are complete idiots.

And it Bush's lack of intellectual curiosity that the illuminati pointed to as a sign of limited intelligence.

Obama apparently isn't even aware of his surroundings.

Each time Mr. Obama is faced with a scandal, he does three things: First, he expresses outrage (he is, after all, a man only of words, not deeds); then, he blames his predecessor, George W. Bush; finally, he wraps the entire mess up in bureaucratic red tape — a blue-ribbon investigation.

So, would I be correct in assuming he doesn't know his a$$ from a hole in the ground?

It’s shameful that ONLY 25% know what he’s doing. I believe that number is much higher. Millions know but pretend not to know. Just like the man they love.

Rush, used to say about the Clinton’s that they were the “how can we fool them today” bunch.

Obastard is the “how can I crap on what they hold dear” bunch.

There is not a day that goes by where Obastard does not crap on something about America, either with his flouting the constitution, the breaking the law, the military as a sex playground, more welfare, no nukes, no coal, no oil, no jobs, more debt, etc. etc, etc.
