Unauthorized blaming of Obama...
Under the bus penelty!

Jen Psaki says Biden was 'running point on Iraq' in apparent attempt to shift blame from Obama for ISIS debacle.
At the daily State Department briefing on Friday, the blame-game over the Obama policy catastrophes of Iraq and Syria seems to have gone super-nova, when Jen Psaki, the State Department Spokesperson, appeared to insulate President Barack Obama, and directly indict Vice President Joe Biden over the debacle, by claiming the 2009-2011 Iraq total withdrawal “was the Vice President’s portfolio.”
In a peppery questioning of Spokesperson Psaki by a reporter, the reporter constantly interjected “So it’s his [Biden’s] fault,” and Psaki didn’t reject the accusation out-of-hand. Instead, Psaki pointedly let the accusation go virtually unchallenged while she finished her response.
While she eventually halfheartedly denied Iraq was Biden’s “fault,” Psaki immediately pointedly re-emphasized that, “I was saying, actually making the point – and it’s well known – that the Vice President had this [the Iraqi] portfolio . . . that we elevated it [the Iraqi portfolio] to the Vice President. That was who was running point on Iraq."
During her response, Psaki specifically failed to remotely mention that President Obama had any decision-making role in the “Iraqi-portfolio.”
The State Department Spokesperson’s clear attempt to pin the Iraqi debacle and ISIS on Biden could point to a finger-pointing meltdown inside the Administration itself, and raises many additional questions. Did President Obama himself, sanction Psaki’s attempt to call Iraq “Biden’s portfolio,” or was it Secretary Kerry’s decision?
It appears there had to be an “executive decision” by Psaki’s superiors before she would have explicitly staked out her “Iraq was Biden’s portfolio” response.

The seams are coming apart.
Saw THAT coming!
Oh goody—our country is being run by a circular firing squad!
Get with the program!
Good = All Obama
Bad = Anyone Else
Biden??? Hmmmmm, the Hillary forces are smelling the blood in the water for sure.
Slo Joe is getting thrown under the bus!? Say it ain’t so!
What deal did they make with Biden before they did this, or did they just decide he was too dumb to notice and ran with it, anyway?
Maybe no one will tell him he is the fall guy.
Of course, Biden will be sure to apologize for it. Has he ever failed to do so?
Biden couldn’;t run an ELEVATOR! What a total DOOFUS he is!! He either sticks his foot in his mouth and DOESN’T apologize or he says the truth and then apologizes!!!<P.Biden is CERTIFIABLE!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAH
Biden asked to resign? Holder to take his place? Talk about impeachment insurance.
I’m going to invest in ‘popcorn’. There’s two years plus left of this administration. I’ll make a fortune.
Leave poor Joe alone, he’s still trying to tie his shoes !
Hillary (Sec State, 2009-2013) took orders from Biden?
Yeah, not a grain of truth, but this show is going to be good. Real good.
It’s only ‘popcorn’. I’ll stay out of the ‘foot in mouth’ market.
