Obama: Always the last guy to know
American Thinker ^ | Oct 24, 2013 | lvio Canto, Jr.

Posted on 10/24/2013 7:39:03 AM PDT by EXCH54FE

We learned during the Rose Garden show that ObamaCare can speak 150 languages. Frankly, I did not know that there were 150 languages in the US or that many constituencies in the modern "identify politics" Democrat party.

We do know that "the Spanish version" is a mess, too, according to my friends at Babalu.

We also learned today that President Obama is always the last guy to know in this government.

Let's add another one to the growing list of things that President Obama did not know:

"GUPTA: The president did say that he was angry about this. I mean, do you know when he first knew that there was a problem?

SEBELIUS: Well, I think it became clear fairly early on, the first couple of days

GUPTA: So not before that though?

SEBELIUS: No."

This is amazing. Nobody told President Obama that his "signature legislation" could run into problems.

Apparently, nobody told him either that the company hired to put together the website had "a checkered past":

"While the company behind the dysfunctional HealthCare.gov was virtually unknown to the American public until this month, critics say the Obama administration should have known this multibillion-dollar firm had a checkered history with other government contracts.

In projects stretching from Canada to Hawaii, parent company CGI Group and its subsidiaries ran into complaints about its performance. And this was while, and in some cases before, CGI Federal was paid millions, along with other contractors, to create the ObamaCare website.

"The morning I heard CGI was behind [Healthcare.gov], I said, my God, no wonder that thing doesn't work," said James Bagnola, a Texas-based corporate consultant who was hired by the Hawaii Department of Taxation (DOTAX) in 2008."

Hussein is — and has been all along — just a front man for the shadowy cabal of leftists who snuck him into office.

Obama: Always the last guy to know

First one to claim credit, never accepts responsibility. First class a-hole... an arrogant ignoramus convinced of his "brilliance", despite daily, overwhelming evidence to the contrary. How did this POS get in the Spite House?

I was interviewed by a CGI QA Manager for a contract on the Massachusetts HIE last year and it was clear she didn’t know what she was talking about. I passed on the assignment.

“It” is not a guy, and “it” is incapable of knowing.

For the first part, one needs cojones, for the second, one needs an operating brain.

There was an interview about a year or so ago where Obama didn’t even know what the national debt was. Either he was lying (again) or always the last to know (again).

I have stated similar in many threads. O is the distraction while the various CZARs do their damage.

I doubt the press would provide as much cover for any other president of either party. We definitely know that if this fiasco developed under a Republican president, the press would be relentlessly hounding him/her on the issue.

Even at the House hearing going on now, some of the Dem representatives are giving cover and providing excuses and blaming the Republicans.

Because he was the perfect candidate for the left - any criticism of his policies, if anyone had the guts to, is deemed “racist”.

In effect, he’s totally unaccountable.

Wow! - 150 officially recognized languages in the US!

There are only 69 officially recognized languages spoken in Kenya.

In no other profession, would a CEO not know the results of a project/product, let alone it’s signature pet project, before those results were made public!

Always the last to know and never the first to be blamed for anything (if ever blamed at all).

Considering the people elected this turd, we should at least be vigilant enough to keep him accountable to the people as part of his responsibility regarding his office.

This isn’t in my an opinion a Lib or Conservative thing, it is a basic need IMO for the people to hold the President accountable to them (along with government) at all times for our own national good.

Granted I called the President a turd because at this point in time he IMO well earned that name.
It is a shame the people of this country are not on the ball and get fooled so easily by a well presented package. We need to always unwrap the package in politics before we get stuck with the contents. In this case the unwrapped gift was a big smelly turd.

I have to defend Obama on this one. When you have zero ability to lead, why would anyone waste time filling you in on anything?

I can picture some upper manager at HHS making a visit to the White House to relay the problems they are experiencing and asking him what to do about it. Obama would offer self-platitudes about how the end goal would make himself look better, and then would tell the upper manager that he needed to make sure it worked, at which point Valerie Jarret would call an end to the meeting. The manager would return to HHS with the false 'feeling' that the President really cared about the success of the project, but would also realize that they were completely on their own to fix it.

And yet, he was able to rise above it all and give out a 1-800 number to call. What the heck is going on. Is he trying to take Vince’s job and start selling us some “Sham-Wow’s”? Free to the next 500 callers. Plus a fake fainting pregnant woman? Was/is she fake pregnant? Is king hussein now also a paramedic from training with Navy corpse men? This is getting more and more bizzare by the day.
