The Buck Finally Stops with Administration Official for Paris No-Show
PJTatler ^ | January 20, 2015 | Bridget Johnson

More than a week after President Obama no-showed a historic march of world leaders united against terrorism in Paris, it appears the buck has finally stopped.

White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough took the blame for the absence of any administration-level official...

McDonough can’t go to the toilet without ValJar’s approval.

Horse-puckey.

Allowing an underling to take the rap is ridiculous.

A leader would have instantly directed his minions to make preparations for a trip, 'cause he's going. Waiting around for his gang-that-couldn't-shoot-straight protocol squad to tell him what to do says a lot about Obama. (and it ain't good...)

Gives the strong impression he’s completely disconnected from the job. I think though everyone knew this already. Youre correct though...its completely ridiculous and juvenile.

Which is worse for 0; he is AWOL from the rally or he is such a weak president his staff makes these kind of important decisions without his input?

Valerie Jarrett is the one who nixed the trip, this was just the convenient chump who took the hit.

Valerie Jarrett responds to no criticism and never accepts the blame.

We still have some 730 days of potential for mischief at every hand.

I look forward to that day when the Marine One helicopter is lifting from the White House lawn. For at that moment, the edifice once again transforms from the White Hut it has been since January 2009.

I think it’s funny that the smartest man in the world, the leader of the free world (yea I know but I’m being sarcastic here), is incapable of looking at the information he SHOULD have been provided with about the France terror and making a decision on his own without a staffer deciding what he should do about it.

As a former reporter, my first question way back when Barry pulled this routine the first week in office was “Why is the right wing media burying the obvious and instead, diverting the issue like any leftist?”

Because we all love under the bus stories about libs, but diversion is all they are. The real issue is why is the leader merely a mouthpiece and why is everyone content to allow it to go on? We know he is but why? Has anyone EVER seen that question seriously addressed by a right wing talking head?

Not the “Bush’s Brain/VJ is the President” stuff. I mean WHY is everyone going along with it white elephant style because we all see clearly he’s a mouthpiece.

No one wants to offend his blackness but the people pulling his strings aren’t black. They are liberal white.

Consider this possibility......
Maybe no one in administration knew about the march or if they did, who was going to attend. The Europeans can’t stand him. They knew he would try to steal the show and it would all be about him. So no one called to tell him about it. If the US Intelligence Services knew it would be in his daily briefing. However, he rarely attends those.

There’s a high probability that the Obama Administration just didn’t know about it.

Right you are. Ronald Reagan would have immediately taken control of the situation, and issued the appropriate orders.

The Blamer-In-Chief strikes again with his blood curdling scream, “NOT ME!” followed closely by, “NOT MY FAULT!” In this administration the buck never stops.

Then there’s a high prob that the CIA and NSA are useless and should be disbanded this afternoon.

Both McDonough and Jarrett knew that the NFL playoffs were too important to blow off for some piddly Paris parade that would gain no campaign contributions.

We’re going to continue to make sure that we’re focused on that and working with our friends to make sure that something like this does not happen again.”

So that's why they dragged James Taylor into the mix! They needed a theme song.

Doesn’t Obama find out what’s happening on the evening news? Maybe no one watched TV for a few days or some sports event was on. ESPN probably didn’t cover it.

they found an unknown, unimportant fall guy to shove under the bus, eh?

predictable.

meanwhile, The One still spent the day in front of his BoobToob watching football.

no amount of scapegoating can change that....

‘Round and ‘round and ‘round the buck goes, and where it’ll stop, nobody knows!

But we all know where it WON’T stop.

Good point! If it had been billed as a fundraiser, he would have been there.

You mean, no one in the White House has a Yahoo page? You could not miss it, the info was there above the trending news on Bruce Jenner’s feminized transformation.
