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

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.

Come on, really....

Does ANYONE actually believe this crack-piping, chooming, rodeo-klown is anything BUT a &$#!-up playing a role??

He reads/memorizes a script; A willing press asks him NOTHING! He dekes one or two semi-serious questions, then NO follow ups. EVER.

Hussein ALWAYS HAS played roles: President of Harvard Law Review? Please. Just BS to pad his phantom "credentials." "Straight"? "Christian"?? The Powers-That-Be (let's call them a "Snydicate") have created a myth with phantom creds, a phantom life, and even launch his Presidency with a Greek Temple set.

Now? Still a puppet, the face of evil -- good Lord -- PRESIDENT! But BEHIND him are the real Puppetmeisters, aka "Syndicate". Now...who the hell ARE THEY??

This entire Government is...a Charade, the faces of Congress are cast/coerced Actors. Our President is indeed THE Manchurian Candidate. Lest we forget:

While I don’t believe it for a second, I’d still file this under “who cares?” given that he only makes things worse anyway it’s just as well that he not know.

You mean he "didn't know till he read about it in the paper"?

Such a well-informed "president". Imagine how the "news" media would treat a Repub Prez who was this stupid and un-informed. Oh wait, they treat them that way no matter what......

IMO this is much worse than inaction.
A Zer0 classic move of leading from behind. Waiting to see which side has the upper hand so he’ll know what bandwagon to jump on.
Then claim he was instrumental in the result.

So, his staff and advisors have orders not to tell him anything until it hits the news.

All that technology will work IF the president is interested.

I can imagine Jarrett and her flunkies realizing no one had told Obama. “Whose turn was it to tell the idiot?”
