With about a month to go before the elections, let's loosen up our lever-pulling arms by inviting NewsBusters readers to vote on the lamest excuse offered by three Morning Joe panelists today for President Obama's failure to heed the intelligence about the threat ISIS posed. 1. Columbia prof Dorian Warren: congressional intelligence committees are to blame for not raising the issues with President Obama. 2. Mike Barnicle: James Clapper is to blame for not assembling the intelligence to the point that it got the president's full attention. 3. Eugene Robinson: not fair to blame the president considering there could have been 15 things in the intel briefing that day deserving urgent atention. 4. Bo the dog ate President Obama's intel briefing. OK, scratch that one; I made it up.

Morning Joe panelists vie for lamest defense of Obama’s ISIS failure. Ping to Today show list.
#4 is the only one that could be remotely true, because the intel briefings contained information as to the threat ISIS presented and clearly demanded action.
My take: Obama is lazy and shiftless and doesn’t really care much about anything involving actual effort.
Wait. First, does Obola view the rise of ISIS as a failure?
Obama is a Muslim sympathizer and what happens is to his liking. Look at his background. Look at his advisors.
Is it true that MSNBC has a Muslim barber in the green room to give the “guests” a trim and a nick to get them oriented before they go on the air?
When the attack here the media will be blaming the House Republicans before all is said & done.
OTOH, Obama gets twice-daily tallies on his offshore holdings in person as they come into the WH from around the globe---so that he can act upon insider Congressional reports from Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.
Remember, people-----the C-in-C appointed Valerie Jarrett his "Senior Deputy Advisor." In the parlance of Chicago criminal politics, that means "wire transfer artist."
==================================================
......others in the intelligence community blasted Obama......said he’s shown longstanding disinterest in receiving live, in-person PDBs that allow the C-in-C the chance for critical followup, feedback, questions, and the challenging of flawed intelligence assumptions......
Even more alarming is that know-nothings like Jen Psaki, Mary Harf and the execreable Suzan Rice and Samantha Powers are all getting top secret info.
Its chilling to know "anything for a buck Hillary" was also privy to US intel.
Plus....the WH ding-a-ling apparently gave top secret clearance to 5 million of his henchmen burrowed deep inside the US govt apparat.
What are these people doing w/ top secret intel? Selling it to our enemies?
This is a perfect example of why I don’t watch Morning Joe.
Obama never realizes that The Buck Stops Here...and neither do his supporters.
Harry Truman: “The buck stops here.”
Barack Obama: “Who me? Don’t look at ME!”
I admit, I like this show-—it amuses me, and because it is on at 3am my time (I DVR it—got to keep an eye on the left, I think they are their truest selves, and you can see they haven’t had time to vet their answers.
I watched yesterday when Joe blasted the FBI for calling Moore, OK’s beheading of Ms. Hufford workplace violence, and stupid Mika said that is was just another incident of a crazy like the man who did the WH lawn dash. Both of them also made fun of the idea that demonizing the Koch brothers would not work in New York, especially since many people are grateful to them for the cancer ward they funded.
Robinson needs a new set of knee pads right about now I’d think.
#101 - The ISIS briefing was to be given to Obama’s caddie who was to show the President when Obama was in a good mood.
