The Germans are in a frenzy over the disclosure that the National Security Agency (NSA) tapped Angela Merkel’s private telephone, along with the telephones of three-dozen other world leaders. It’s an embarrassment of the second magnitude, and all Barack Obama knows about it is what he reads in the newspapers.
“Senior government officials” tell The Wall Street Journal that the spooks didn’t tell the president about the wiretaps “because it wouldn’t have been practical to brief him on all of them.” (He was working on his hook shot and couldn’t be disturbed.)
It’s hard to imagine that the Germans believe a word of this excuse, and the NSA doesn’t expect them to. The president gets a daily intelligence briefing; the briefer would not tell the president about a betrayal of a major European ally? A fib that big is meant only for public consumption.
This is “the mushroom treatment” that rarely works. Mushrooms like the dark, so mushroom growers are careful to keep them there under a blanket of bull manure. It’s good for mushrooms, not so good for presidents. Mushrooms grow, but presidents, as we’re seeing now, shrink.
What the Europeans are at last learning is something that it took Americans five years to learn; that Barack Obama is the master salesman of shiny but shoddy goods. Spying on your friends is not nice, even if the wary and the careful sometimes do it anyway.

Are you listening John Boehner?
One does not preclude the other.
Wasn’t it established after Benghazi that Barry pretty much blows-off his daily intelligence briefings?
BO is either smart or stupid. That also means he is either a fraud or incompetent.
In this rare instance, there is the possibility that he is both, which amounts to evil.
Not. The. god. Valerie. thinks.
WHERE on earth do these creeps come from?
Excuse me...what did they say? Oh I know...I just think it's funny.
Maybe he knew all along and OKed it-—I think he is more in control than we think and most of the dumb ideas came from him—like the IRS, the NSA, WW II Monument etc...
Who’s his daily intelligence briefing?
Jarrett on Obama....
“He’s been bored to death his whole life.”
So has my cat. Valerie; try getting Obama a catnip mouse to play with instead of Libya. Yeah, he might get some catnip on the rug, but that’s better than more dead Americans.
He is too stupid, too busy, too arrogant, to be involved with running the country. His czars and aides do it. He knows little of what is actually going on. He knows what Valerie wants him to know. He says what is on his tele-prompter. He is truly a Sgt. Schultz!
I hope and pray we can recover.
I’m not sure God gives the “talents” to lie, cheat and steal.
