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.

And there tells the whole story! Why does he want to believe those lies? There is an invisible string between him and the Muslims...just like a parent will usually protect their child even though they know they are a loser, IMO

Inability or unwillingness? I think it is the latter. The effect is much the same but the distinction here is one of volition. He is unwilling to open his mind and therefore falls into the invincibly ignorant category.

I must strenuously disagree with the article where it says “ Barack Obama’s potential personality flaw...”. It is not a potential flaw but a verified host of flaws.

Here’s a work around to get rid of the artifacts that mar our current posting. Works well.

Hi John. I assume you are working to remove the garbled characters from the FR text display...?

I would do a lot more linking directly to FR on twitter and Facebook but I don’t want to invite first-time readers and have them immediately dislike the site because it is difficult to read.

An update would be much appreciated :)

Thanks and good luck!

Well, Obama did say when he was elected the first time that “they were the ones they were waiting for,” and to me that is commie-speak for ‘we got everybody we need to the right positions to accomplish our agenda. Our years of waiting have paid off.’

Its pretty clear he is an ideologue and does not want to hear anything that contradicts his narrow and unrealistic world view.

I got a call from the NRCC yesterday and only took it to tell someone how angry I am. The guy said - well there is room for improvement. He kept going on, I brought up Thad Cochran and Mitch McConnell....he was into his spiel about Hillary, the illegals, etc....all the things that are supposed to get us to pay up. He said if we don’t watch out the rats will take Congress and the thing is, what difference would it make? I mentioned the unlimited spending.

In the end he hung up on me when he couldn’t get a measly $35 out of me. Why would they want $35? It’s too little to waste his time and a phone call on.

It’s not that Obama refuses to see the Muslim threat. He sees it quite clearly.

He is on the other side.

Once you reach that conclusion his actions are very understandable.

Not blaming you - I think the FR server needs some fine tuning.

Obama doesn't have a personality flaw, he's the enemy.

Benedict Arnold didn't have a personality flaw, he was the enemy. Lenin didn't have a personality flaw, he was the enemy. Hitler didn't have a personality flaw, he was the enemy. Stalin didn't have a personality flaw, he was the enemy. Mao didn't have a personality flaw, he was the enemy.

Obama knows exactly what he's doing. There is no flaw or incompetence associated with his actions. He's doing exactly what he needs to "transform" the USA. And he's succeeding beyond his wildest dreams.

The evidence strongly supports what you’re saying.

World Muslims and communists have bought and paid for Barack Obama. Their crimes have illegally placed Obama into our White House for one purpose: to destroy America, the common goal of both those entities. Both those enemies of America have said they would defeat us from within, by exploiting our vulnerabilities. And our prime vulnerabilities are the media and courts, through which the democrats have been able to bring America to its knees economically - to within striking range for wealthy Muslim Wahhabis intent on a worldwide caliphate. I believe the Sept 2008 run on the bank was a display by that Muslim/communist alliance, that they control enough money to collapse the American and world economy and if America and the world doesn’t do their bidding they will do it again. I believe that is the threat that was used to silence the media, political opponents, and critical judges in 2008 and beyond. The coup of 2008.

We know from a first-hand written report by an on-air personality that the media was threatened in October of 2008; they were not to allow any talk about Obama’s ineligibility or his Muslim leanings, the 2 obstacles Obama’s communist-Islamist masters needed to avoid in order to get him illegally placed into office as a Trojan horse. Now that we’ve seen how that Trojan horse is ransacking the whole country and world in favor of his sharia-bound communist-Islamist masters, it all makes sense.

What gives me hope is that 50 intelligence-types have revealed that the regime is systematically altering intelligence reports for political purpose. We’ve seen this first-hand in the regime’s well-documented lies about Benghazi. An even more direct instance of Obama covering up terrorists’ tracks was not allowed to be reported: the removal of the Boston Marathon bombing’s “Saudi person of interest” as a “known terrorist” the day after the bombing. The one person Obama will deport is the “known terrorist” who just aided in an attack that killed innocent Americans and who needs to escape the justice pursued by an angry Boston Police Department.

That action goes personally to the Obamas, as Michelle Obama visited that “known terrorist” in the hospital and allowed her photo in the hospital to be plastered over the Muslim world as a show of solidarity with the terrorists. And that man was seen 3 months later in the White House at a 4th of July party, presumably at the invitation of the regime. They are neck-deep in with the terrorists.

Not that it’s any surprise. Obama’s entire life has been spent hob-knobbing with communist and Islamist terrorists. When, oh when, will the LA Times allow anybody to see what the Obamas were doing at a banquet with Rashid Khalidi where the entertainment glorified terrorists? When will anybody talk about the postman’s claim that Bill Ayers’ mother said Obama was a foreign student that they were aiding through Harvard, or Percy Sutton’s claim that the Saudi prince funded Obama’s Harvard education, for a law degree which ended up only being used to push the Motor Voter Act onto all states (so it could corrupt all federal elections) and to harass banks into subprime lending (the 2 legal planks called for in Columbia University professors Cloward and Piven’s “Strategy of Manufactured Crisis” which Piven later co-founded “The New Party” to implement - a party of which Obama was a signed member)?

There is a LOT of evidence that what you’ve said is dead-on correct. I am praying with all my heart that America will wake up. And the willingness of some within the intelligence community to speak the truth is a good start. I am praying for EVERYBODY within this regime, but especially those who have been forced to do things they know will destroy this nation. I am praying for their awakening, for courage and conviction, for opportunities, for safety, and for wisdom. Obama’s coup needs to crumble by decay from within the structure that they took hostage. Now is the time for them to come forward, because America is finally beginning to be willing to listen.
