Obama fills his cabinet with sycophants who only tell him what he wants to hear and now he tries to blame others for not knowing what the he|| is going on.

He certainly forgot his first person singular during that interview on 60 Minutes.

And why the goofball insistence to call it ISIL when nobody else calls it that?

It's not a goofball happenstance. The designation ISIL is a signal. It means that the intent of ISIL is to also eventually overrun Israel. The Levant. It means the Eastern Mediterranean, the area running from eastern Turkey--Anatolia--to Egypt.

If you look at a map, you will see that the region includes Israel.

The problem with the signal ISIL is, trying to figure out who Obama is signaling.

I guess you can dream but please don’t hold your breath.

The crimes against the nation are so deep, so numerous and so well protected nothing that has not happened already will ever happen.

He has thrown many under the bus and they just come back for more. It is like the Stockholm syndrome enmasse.

When you understand it let me know.

He never reads the intelligence briefings, so how could he possibly know what was in them?

He's never held a single cabinet meeting. He confers with no one other than Valerie.

All he knows how to do is say what the TelePrompTer tells him to say.

>>It is never wise for a president to publicly humiliate the intelligence community. The spooks have ways of getting back at you.<<

Oh but he’s done this before and nothing comes of it. Even if the spooks did leak info to the media, they won’t report it. He’s Teflon coated.

ISIL = ISIS = Khorsan Group = al Qaeda.

Can't call them AQ anymore though, because Obola claims to have destroyed them. It would be racist to embarrass him like that.

They will be playing the “JV” comment a 100 years from now as an example of presidential ineptitude.

Right up there with "Peace for Our Time" comment by Neville Chamberlain.

If I were working behind the scenes to dig up every bit of dirt that I could find on the Obama administration and have it publicly dumped prior to the election.
