Sharyl Attkisson’s Scathing Indictment of Obama for Ignoring Terrorism Intel
Breitbart ^ | November 25, 2015 | DAN RIEHL

Posted on 11/25/2015 8:55:03 AM PST by Hojczyk

Independent investigative reporter and host of “Full Measure,” Sharyl Attkisson is giving a blistering account of what one source called Barack Obama’s potential “personality flaw,” leading him to only see and believe what he wants to see and believe when it comes to the global threat from terrorism – that, as opposed to what ground operators are actually trying to report to him.

According to Attkisson, her sources say President Obama is “selective about what he wants to hear and wants to believe when it comes to intelligence.”

“I’ve spoken with people who have dealt with the White House and feel it’s a serious issue,” added Attkisson:

For example, one concrete thing we’ve seen as a result of that is the President calling ISIS a ‘JV’ team when his ground people say they never told him that. And you have to wonder who he’s listening to and where he’s getting that information from and why he continues to go with that versus the things being told to him, or trying to be presented to him from ground level intelligence – especially when he’s been proven to be so thoroughly mistaken over and over again.

She also said one source described it as “a personality flaw”, in essence, “the inability to open your mind beyond what you want to hear, or what certain people are telling you to understand the truth of the facts may be different than what you’re hearing.” He is “very insulated by some key people who protect him from information that he doesn’t want to hear…. That’s just the way he operates, apparently,” she concluded.

I sincerely hope that when we have Americans back in charge after the next election..

then the campus shenanigans of these aged 1960s campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological issue occupying buildings in Washington, D.C. are investigated, prosecuted and punished to the max.

She’s generous. I just read this amazing essay that gets to the heart of Obama’s motivations. If you haven’t read this, please do so.

I think it can be shown that Barky is delusional. His statement proves it!

“We’re gonna show ISIS that they don’t scare us! We’re gonna have a global warming meeting, cause THAT really scares us!”

I hope they don’t leave any sharp objects out when he wanders around the White House.

I think it’s safe to say he’s a danger to himself, but more importantly, to all of us!

A better approach might be to force him to resign!

Exactly. My question is this: Why has it taken so long for so many seemingly intelligent people in this country and those in leadership positions in the government, to figure this out. This guy has been on the other side since before he was elected in 2008. His rhetoric was about "fundamentally transforming" the greatest country in history. Huh?

If it is the greatest country is history, why does it need to be fundamentally transformed? The answer is, it doesn't. But it sounded good and everybody was so enamored with assuaging their racist guilt and electing the first black president, that they didn't look further than skin-deep or analyze his verbiage to see that this guy is an anti-American interloper who fooled almost everyone into voting for him. He has methodically trashed our once great country, step-by-step into a facsimile of socialist, loser Europe. He doesn't care if we are hurt in the process because that is part of his plan..to hurt this country as much as he can and punish the people that live here.

One would have to be blind not to see who he really is (the enemy) and what is agenda really is (to destroy America). He's at the last stage now where he is openly making it dangerous for our national security and the safety and security of America's citizens by ignoring ISIS and emphasizing climate change. He no longer has to hide his real intentions because, from experience, he knows that nobody will stop him.

Independent investigative reporter and host of “Full Measure,” Sharyl Attkisson is giving a blistering account of what one source called Barack Obama’s potential “personality flaw,” leading him to only see and believe what he wants to see and believe when it comes to the global threat from terrorism - that, as opposed to what ground operators are actually trying to report to him.

This goes hand-in-hand with recent reports that up to 50 intelligence types claim the administration has been systematically altering intelligence reports for political reasons.

She was a guest today on Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Stephen K. Bannon

According to Attkisson, her sources say President Obama is “selective about what he wants to hear and wants to believe when it comes to intelligence.”

“I’ve spoken with people who have dealt with the White House and feel it’s a serious issue,” added Attkisson:

For example, one concrete thing we’ve seen as a result of that is the President calling ISIS a ‘JV’ team when his ground people say they never told him that. And you have to wonder who he’s listening to and where he’s getting that information from and why he continues to go with that versus the things being told to him, or trying to be presented to him from ground level intelligence - especially when he’s been proven to be so thoroughly mistaken over and over again.

She also said one source described it as “a personality flaw”, in essence, “the inability to open your mind beyond what you want to hear, or what certain people are telling you to understand the truth of the facts may be different than what you’re hearing.” He is “very insulated by some key people who protect him from information that he doesn’t want to hear.... That’s just the way he operates, apparently,” she concluded.
