File this under "What if Bush did it?" In another one of those attempts to look like one of the common folk, President Obama stopped off at a burger place called Five Guys. You know how these events work. The President orders and eats a common, ordinary, everyday meal, (just like you and me) and then proceeds to meet and greet all of us common, ordinary, everyday blue collar Joe's and Josephine's. It's a staged publicity stunt to make us kinda feel good about ourselves seeing that the President really cares about us by taking time out of his busy day of golf to shake our hand, ask us what we do, what are concerns are and stuff. While visiting Five Guys, President Obama met a man and learned of a Defense Department agency (that he's actually the boss of) for the very first time.

I must say that I was torn on the question about how dumb Obama looks with not knowing what the NGA is. After all, almost no one outside of Defense/ Intelligence circles has heard of this very important (and extremely stupidly run) agency.
However, given that I have seen a memo signed by Obama that gave NGA the responsibility to procure two imaging satellites outside of NRO channels-- one would hope that he would have known who he was authorizing to spend billions of dollars. But hey, with trillions going out the door, who would notice?
If the teleprompter doesn’t tell him, it doesn’t know it.

It may be that the One does not know every agency in the govt. but when the employee uses the word "intelligence" in the title of his agency, and the One follows with "explain to me exactly what..." I hear extreme lack of awareness of what a POTUS is supposed to be: The keeper of national security secrets for one thing! Not an IDIOT!
Those of us with family members in agencies do not ask, "explain to me exactly what..."
I cringe at the thought of what lies ahead of our country, as national leader after national leader around the world realize how dangerously clueless our 'leader' is.
Ugh, and he’s talking with his mouth full. Chewing away in the faces of the people he’s meeting.
The messiah has not spent a single day in the oval office.
Photo ops excluded, of course.
Others do the work while he plays.
