What didn't Obama know and when didn't he know it?

"...Sebelius was dutifully giving her canned responses to Gupta's less than penetrating questions when she dropped a jaw dropper; President Obama was unaware of problems with healthcare.gov before the site went live on October 1.

[SNIP]

It must give the White House a warm and fuzzy feeling to know that no one in the mainstream press is going to call them out for this blatant lie. Or question how it is that the White House was told repeatedly as far back as March that there were monumental technical problems with the website and no one bothered to tell the boss.

As with all the other instances where Obama claims he was in the dark, this one doesn't pass the smell test.

1. Benghazi. The president was unaware of Ambassador Stevens' desperate requests for additional security despite his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton being intimately involved in the decision to turn those requests down.

2. IRS. The first he heard of his IRS targeting conservatives was from news reports the day the story broke - despite the White House counsel being briefed on the problem two weeks prior to that.

3. The Petraeus affair. The president claimed he knew nothing of the investigation into his CIA chief until after the election despite his Attorney General ordering the FBI to conduct the probe.

4. Obamacare. The president claims he never knew of problems with the computer system until after the rollout despite insurance companies, outside IT contractors, and his own team warning of catastrophe.

Do we see a pattern developing here? Barack Obama is the most spectacularly uninformed president in history. Or, he's a baldfaced liar. Every potentially embarrassing scandal finds our president totally in the dark, betrayed by incompetent (or criminal) aides and advisors. How can it be his fault if he didn't know?......"

given that the IRS in inexorably tied to Obamacare It strikes me as highly unlikely that the so called heathcare fiasco was not discussed in any of the 155 visits to the whitehouse made by Sarah Hall Ingram....

have you heard anything about the missing Whitehouse VISITOR LIST...that went down the other day???

You are on a roll,
yep, Obama was as shocked as we were to learn of all those scandals and fiasco's.

He saw them all on the news on AF1.

He is very frustrated that these things keep going wrong.

He says to stop ‘rooting for failure’

He will get to the bottom of this.

He is the fix-it man, he will fix it.

Everything under control

No questions please!

Time for golf.

Of course they knew.

But Obama was too busy golfing, vacationing, and trashing Republicans to give a damn.

Besides, he knew Big Media would be there to cover for him, just like it always has over the last 6 years. No problem here!

This is like watching an old Three Stooges episode. But in this case, the incompetence damages America.

Duh, is Obama-term “Glitch” just Barry’s latest nickname for “Bush’s Fault?”

“Cool” Barry had to come up with a new scapegoat term early in his second term - - - .

“”...Sebelius was dutifully giving her canned responses to Gupta’s less than penetrating questions when she dropped a jaw dropper; President Obama was unaware of problems with healthcare.gov before the site went live on October 1.”

I’m sure that the German General Staff didn’t tell Hitler that the 6th Army was trapped at Stalingrad until General Von Paulus began begging for the order to break-out.

That’s the problem with tyrants — information only flows one-way — outward. Bad News never reaches them until it can no longer be ignored.

What didn't Obama know...

Pretty much everything.

... and when didn't he know it?

Pretty much always.

0bama hears less, sees less and knows less than Sgt. Schultz ever did.
