Team of Bumblers?
Politico ^ | 26 Oct 14 | MICHAEL HIRSH

Posted on 10/27/2014 5:56:02 AM PDT by elhombrelibre

hen President Obama, after months of equivocation over how to respond to the takeover of parts of Iraq and Syria by radical militants, announced in September that the United States would “lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat,” the White House swung quickly into action, sending proposed legislation to train and equip Syrian rebels to Capitol Hill that same day.

Unfortunately, the White House failed to consult with the Pentagon—which would be doing most of the rolling back—on the timing or details of the announcement.

According to multiple sources, behind the scenes a few things went badly awry in the launch of Obama’s new policy. First, the Pentagon was surprised by the president’s timing, according to a senior defense official. “We didn’t know it was going to be in the speech,” he said, referring to Obama’s Sept. 10 address to the nation. Second, the White House neglected to give Pentagon lawyers a chance to revise and approve the proposed legislative language before it went to the Hill, which is considered standard practice.

Calling them “bumblers” is generous beyond what they deserve.

No matter how bad this becomes, I am STILL amazed at the laxity of the MSM in challenging the WH on their failures and blunders.

And can’t imagine a Conservative President screwing up as often or as badly and STILL getting a pass from the MSM.

He%$, Conservatives dare not mispronounce the unpronounceable names of foreign leaders without being smeared as certifiable lunatics!

After the election when Hillary starts up on Obama's shortcomings the press will descend on this administration like a pack of rabid dogs.

Maybe not, because they won’t want to be called ‘racist’ either.

Besides... the MSM wants to stay in good with the extreme Left Wing crazies “O” will continue to represent.

Some comments from the politico thread:

“Are you more likely to be broke, beheaded or infected then you were 6 years ago?”

“Obama’s shovel ready jobs turned out to be grave diggers for VA patients...Republican voters until death, then democrat voters forever.”

Indeed.

“Duck Soup” had a Team of Bumblers.

This is more like a nest of vipers.

We know that whichever RAT runs for the 2016 ticket will have to get medieval on Obama’s butt.

And this is why we can’t have a GOP candidate (like Romney) who will debate the Democratic nominee and graciously give him/her a pass instead of kicking the s&^% right in their face, like they deserve!

ENOUGH with this ‘let the other guy off easy’ while Liberals get wall-to wall-cheap shots at our candidate, who is such a wimp he can’t/won’t wipe the floor with these Liberal criminals!

God knows we certainly hold all the cards on THIS one!
