The most powerful man in the world sure seems to get a lot of information about what's going on inside his administration from outside news reports.
The latest example was President Obama saying in an interview aired over the weekend that he learned of his former secretary of state's personal email use from the media.

or Hillary: “ I can’t recall” ANYTHING
Smallest US “president” ever.
It would be nice if a reporter had the guts to ask the logical next question. Does he think it is better to be incompetent rather than corrupt?
If he keeps getting all of the information about wrongdoings in this administration then he must be watching Fox News.
He really is Chance from “Being There.” A simple-minded cypher who simply repeats what he learns on TV.
If Obama personally and willingly communicated a number of times with then–secretary Clinton via her private e-mail address, then he had reason to know that she was not complying with stated administration policy (and State Department policy) to conduct government business on government e-mail systems.
He also had reason to be concerned — if he really cared — that she was violating government record-keeping laws and procedures. (We can’t say he knew for certain because the record-keeping laws allow a federal official to communicate by private e-mail as long as a record is preserved. But, common sense says, the more often and routinely one observes that a government official is using private e-mail, the more likely it becomes that the laws are being flouted.)
Most tellingly on this score: Secretary Clinton plainly knew that the president was not serious about stringent record-keeping and transparency. Otherwise, she would not have dared communicate with him repeatedly by private e-mail — and, of course, he would not have been sending e-mail to her private address.
Plausible deniability could be the reason for not attending half of his intelligence briefings. A call will wake him up if it is a good morning to go and no call lets him sleep longer.
“Presumably, that means the president would have noticed Clinton was not using a “.gov” account. But Earnest said Obama nevertheless was unaware of Clinton’s personal email server and how she was following federal records law.”
So, is Obama crooked? Or simply incompetent?
As has been established here—on a thread just last night pointing out that he would not only lie but also ignore a domain name—and elsewhere, time and again, actually it’s a lot of both ... but the lies like this one are purely risible.
A `Saturday Night Live’ show that is not an arm of the Democrat’s media machine would have a field day with this `Sgt. Schulz defense’ if it were a non-Democrat making these wide-eyed, earnest and breathless statements.
Hearing the answer to that question would be pure fun!
As RR would say “there he goes again”, really if you don’t know anything that is happening in your own admin. please refund your payroll checks.
0 never seems to pay attention to work.
Obama’s Legacy , “I Know Nothing”
Keep that handy. Apparently the MSM has amnesia.
How transparent is the Obama admin when he doesn’t know anything about anything.
Bump for later.
