Pay no attention to the idiot behind the curtain while the idiot at the podium is speaking. Got it.

Is it wishful thinking of a child-like mind or a calculated attempt to dupe us? Which of these do I hope it is?

It would be comical if not so tragic.

But Clapper was appointed Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence by Obama’s equally challenged predecessor.

That’s the problem with “Compassionate” conservatism. After a while it starts to look just like liberalism.

From Bush I through Clinton, Bush II, and Obama, the American public has been treated to a series of incompetents. Some worse than others and Obama is the very worst of the lot.

Why do some people have to be so dumb?

Cuz when God was handing out brains, they thought He said "trains", and they said they wanted a gov't funded one.

With Obama’s so called intel team we’re in a heap of trouble...more like sitting ducks. Panetta, the head of the CIA stated he was getting intel info from the news reports...how lame is that?

The word “intelligence” used in the same sentence with the word “Obama” simply never works.

Strange move, given Hussein and Company get away with this sort of utter nonsense and outright lying on a daily basis.

Clapper is eithar a liar, or ill informed. Either way, he needs a boot in his ass and a short farewell by Obama.

Even a sock puppet like Clapper has to be corrected occasionally. His stupidity exposed the fecklessness of the CIA now under globalist control.

“... the American public has been treated to a series of incompetents.” Actually, the American people had beeter awaken to the reality that the men sitting in our oval office are the designees of a globalist power structure not in favor of America remaining a free Republic with the people as sovereigns. Well, that sovereignty thing disappeared deacdes ago, so it just remains to hopey dopey change to finish US off. It is happening so fast, the dumbed down American public hasn’t a clue.

The “Intelligence Chief” has proven himself not to be too intelligent. Isn’t this about the third major thing he totally screwed up?
