The President knew nothing about ATF gun-running, Solyndra’s solar panels or Secret Service prostitutes. Now we learn he knew nothing about terror threats in Libya.
It seems the President has been completely shut out of the government he’s supposed to be running. It’s almost as if his own employees see him as nothing more than an Affirmative Action token hire. They apparently believe he really is just an articulate, clean, bright, nice-looking Black man, someone to be paraded for the cameras occasionally but kept away from all the real decision-making. “Have another round of golf” they tell him, “Don’t worry about us, we’ll take care of everything.” Except they don’t; and he gets blamed for it.
That must suck. I wonder if he’s lonely.

He’s showing some of the signs of having spent four years as a figurehead for others.
Obumbler continues to prove that he and his chosen gang of thugs, are totally unqualified to run the greatest nation in the world. In just 22 days, we can do something about that. Of course, when he loses, I believe that he will engage in the most destructive lame duck rampage ever!
to bring back a leftist demand from the “W” years:
When will this president connect the dots?
I know DG (whose homework IS overdue) will join me in demanding that this president be accountable.
The President was poorly vetted and so many, including his opponents, projected numerous attributes on him that he didn’t possess (then or now) that I’m often flabbergasted by people who thought he was competent enough to serve as President in the first place. I’m not saying McCain would have been better, but certainly he had much more experience in governing, getting things done with people and command (although his record of a Navy squadron commander was mixed, at best).
His Vice President threw State and Intelligence under the bus last week. Does anyone in the White House believe that the career bureaucrats at State and CIA as well as the Clinton’s and Petreaous are going to let them get away with this? This could be the first self-inflicted October surprise mortal wound I’m aware of.
Obama, Axelrod and Plouffe need to get back to what they know best – turning Chicago into a third world sh**hole with acceptable levels of corruption, violence and two classes of people: the extremely poor being screwed over by the connected extremely rich like Valerie Jarrett.
This is right out of the Clinton playbook. When backed into a corner, simply plead incompetence. We didn’t mean to, they said, and we’ll do better next time. Only they never did. They used Chinese money to laugh all the way to the bank, with George Bush reaping the whirlwind of their malfeasance on 9/11/01.
0bama hasn’t been held accountable at all in his life and his lapdog press isn’t about to let that start now.
Yes, it was very funny how Obumbler’s 2008 campaign brought out a couple of psychologists that expressed their “real concern” over the mental damage that his North Vietnamese captors did to him and they were sure that he could flip out at any time! The problem was that his campaign didn’t fight that lie. Of course, no one on the left said anything about Obumbler’s dodging of the military. Libs leave the fighting and dying to others, then suppress their votes to prevent them from voting against their puppet.
