McDonough can’t go to the toilet without ValJar’s approval.
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...)
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.
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.
must have been Bush
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.
So that's why they dragged James Taylor into the mix! They needed a theme song.
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.
Obama NEVER takes responsibility for any of his failures and always has someone else to blame. That said if that White House aide actually made such a boneheaded decision, it simply shows the general incompetence of this administration. Watching Sec. Kerry bringing James Taylor to his Paris meeting with President Hollande was painful in its stupidity. The idiocy exhibited by the State Department Barbie girls, Harf and Psaki also is pathetic. The US is the laughing stock of the world.
that's all.
BULLSHIT! Too little, too late. It took them a week and a half to figure out how to weasel themselves out of the no-show, and the answer was to throw someone under the bus. The President gets briefed daily, correct? If he was serious about attending this event, didn’t he ever question why no one was setting him up to go?
