Obama cannot be both “godlike” and “Mr. Magoo” at the same time. For 6 years the Marxists have been talking about Obama being the smartest man to ever be president, a light-bringer and now they try to tell us that he is ignorant of everything.

I think America is not going to buy this and that Obama is going to be impeached.

“Eventually one of them might sing, like John Dean did.”

What is needed is a Judge Sirica (Watergate fame) to give immunity/plea deals to guilty IRS agents and managers that talk and finger superiors.

Get some convictions going, and lips will start wagging.

That was exactly what broke open the Watergate scandal. But I doubt there is an equivalent of Judge Sirica today. Everyone involved will get slaps on the wrists and soft landings.

We conservatives like to criticize zer0bama for his terrible leadership abilities, but on this aspect he knows what he’s doing. Everyone who gets thrown under the bus gets a bunch of pillows, a cushy job and a very soft landing.

Of course he didn’t tell Obama - Obama already knew. He is probably the one who gave the directive. The spin doctors are hard at work.

I don’t understand why it is OK for some in the White House to know, but not Obama? Is there a specific law that specifies this? How high up in the White House supposedly knew (assuming they re not lying, and that is a big assumption).

He may not have known, honestly. I imagine he was told to give his speeches while Jarrett was giving orders.

Not that that exonerates him in any way, but it is a fairly likely scenario.

I see, thanks.
From what I can hear folks saying, they don’t even care any more whether O is SuperGenius or BozoTheClown. They are angry as all get-out about what has been happening (whether the abuse of our fine IRS agents or the arming and empowering of the Islamicist terroristas overseas , or lots more stuff)

if he ordered all these bad things, or if he slept through them all, nobody cares much about that anymore ...

what they all want is for the problem to be repaired, and fast!

ps: but if I had to guess, I would guess he’s probably a pretty smart guy ... he only looks stupid reading from a teleprompter all the time

just my two cents
