The Obama administration has been engulfed in an unending stream of scandals — and President Barack Obama learned of most of them through news reports.
From the 2012 Benghazi attacks that killed four Americans, to the IRS targeting conservative nonprofit groups, to the revelations about veterans dying while waiting for care because of falsified lists at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the president and his top aides have admitted that they found out about them in the media.
"I first learned about it from the same news reports that I think most people learned about this," Obama said in June 2013 when he was asked about the IRS scandal. "I think it was on Friday."
But the next week, White House press secretary Jay Carney said that senior staff knew of the targeting but did not tell Obama because they were waiting for a report about it from the Treasury Department's inspector general. Carney has since been succeeded by Josh Earnest.

Yeah, Hitler's generals eventually got so afraid about stuff like this they took to drawing straws to see who had to tell him. :o)
As an aside, “failure to manage” is cause for impeachment in and of itself. There are only so many times he can claim “I didn’t know” before Congress is duty-bound to address the situation. Incompetent management need not be suffered by We The People.
.... And the clown car kept popping and burping down the road.
Yes, but in this case it isn’t Hitler (Barack) they’re worried about but Martin Bormann (Valerie Jarrett), Heinrich Himmler (Eric Holder) and Eva Braun (Michelle) that they really fear.
“duty bound”.... Really? This Congress?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Equine excrement.
Anyone who has been in a leadership position in any successful organization knows that you surround yourself with the most competent people for the job. As a leader, you recognize you can’t know and do it all. This however does not apply if you are a narcissist. A narcissist thinks he knows everything and is smarter than everyone else in the room. If you work for a narcissist, your job is to say “yes sir” whatever you say and tell whatever lies needed to carry out the orders.
That’s because scandals are sop for the regime —
Well, alrighty then. The anointed one said it, I believe it. Case closed. No need to look any further.

All the more reason for a system of checks and balances on his power. We used to call that the Constitution, which guided the actions of the Legislative and Judicial Branches.
I didn’t know that the “Cartoon Network” interrupted its’ programming with special news alerts!
Implausible deniability. The Central Committee planned, directed, encouraged, or knew about all of these criminal, anti-Constitutional, anti American schemes. As we speak, the equivalent of 20 Army brigades (80,000 troops) are being sh!t-canned, many receiving notice while they’re deployed to the many dangerous hotspots around the world. The Obama Regime continues unabated to weaken our economy, armed forces, culture, and borders. None of it is ignorance. Call it what it is: Evil.
They control he media yet they get thier news first from the media. People in this country are dumb a##es
Amen......
The fact you omitted that it is all being accomplished while the treasury is being drained. The current request is evidence that the funds to be drained are pretty much gone and new money is needed to continue the stealing
The Democrat Party is a Criminal enterprise. It will not go away without numerous deaths
Um, okay. How did he find out about Benghazi attacks 'from the media' when HE was in the situation room?

Apparently, there is an epidemic of stupid going on at Newsmax.
Why aren’t more people calling it what it is: EVIL. Valerie Jarrett is running this country through her stinky sock-puppet, Obama. Valerie Jarrett and Obama are evil. This whole administration is evil. Anything connected with Islam is evil, and these two are definitely connected with Islam.
The reason anyone would make such an asinine statement is because stupidity is allowed and even encouraged by their base!
So IOW, Obama’s ministry of information tells him of scandals.
“Yes, but in this case it isn’t Hitler (Barack) they’re worried about but Martin Bormann (Valerie Jarrett), Heinrich Himmler (Eric Holder) and Eva Braun (Michelle) that they really fear.”
Well at least they don’t fear Von Ribbentrop - John Kerry
