GOP Criticism over Obama Missing Intel Briefings Panned [warning: contains satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 4 Oct 2014 | John Semmens

Revelations that the ISIS grew while President Obama skipped nearly 60% of his scheduled intelligence briefings has sparked harsh criticism from mostly GOP sources. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) characterized the missed briefings as “disturbing and possibly irresponsible. Is ignorance of what’s going on in the world behind what appears to be this Administration’s feckless foreign policy?”

Former Vermont Governor and Democratic presidential aspirant Howard Dean dismissed the criticisms as “baseless. The erroneous premise is that any information that the President might have gleaned from any briefings would have altered his policy decisions. People who know the President are confident that no quantity of intel would have changed his policies in any significant way.”

“President Obama is a once-in-a-life-time transformational figure in world history,” Dean said. “He has insights and inspirations that go beyond what more ordinary men can conceive. The chattering of supposed intelligence experts are just distractions that could only deflect him from his destined course of action. Should such a giant fritter away his time listening to the ill-conceived notions of others? I believe ‘no’ is the obvious answer.”

Man John, I sure somebody with clout here didn’t force you to put satire in the title of your posts. The best part of them is how some don’t read past the headline and spew rage over nothing then come back a few posts later and say, “Oh, I knew it was satire all along”.

Some of FR’s more gullible readers wanted him banned altogether (or at least his articles).

It’s scary how the line between real life and satire is fading fast.

Just who I want to rely on for a reality check. A 4’ communist democratic runt whose feet don’t touch the floor when sitting in a chair.

The very sad thing is that apparently they found a mod that was willing to at least partly go along for a while.

Almost like the DUmp with their tombstoning to get rid of those they don't like?
