Obama: Always the last guy to know

Did I hear Carney say ‘the hassles with the enrollment are better that the hassles of not having insurance at all’?

That tears it.... he is positively the stupidest and most arrogant clown EVER to be a Presidential mouthpiece....and THAT'S saying something! He must be thick as a brick to even SAY that.

[HiTech RedNeck]

great picture of how pride brings itself down. it is too top heavy to endure.

i think barack and the dems have done just fine in bringing on their own waterloo. now what we need to do is just hang tight, trust in the Lord, and watch the “fun.”

[Stand Watch Listen]

What didn't Obama know and when didn't he know it?

As with all the other instances where Obama claims he was in the dark, this one doesn't pass the smell test.

1. Benghazi. The president was unaware of Ambassador Stevens' desperate requests for additional security despite his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton being intimately involved in the decision to turn those requests down.

2. IRS. The first he heard of his IRS targeting conservatives was from news reports the day the story broke - despite the White House counsel being briefed on the problem two weeks prior to that.

3. The Petraeus affair. The president claimed he knew nothing of the investigation into his CIA chief until after the election despite his Attorney General ordering the FBI to conduct the probe.

4. Obamacare. The president claims he never knew of problems with the computer system until after the rollout despite insurance companies, outside IT contractors, and his own team warning of catastrophe.

Do we see a pattern developing here? Barack Obama is the most spectacularly uninformed president in history. Or, he's a baldfaced liar. Every potentially embarrassing scandal finds our president totally in the dark, betrayed by incompetent (or criminal) aides and advisors. How can it be his fault if he didn't know?.......................................”

Obama's the First one to claim credit.......never accepts responsibility.......

Yeah, and his infamous Rose Garden speech WRT the failed system was not exactly the Obamacare mea culpa some had predicted......liberal Wash/Po blogger Ezra Klein tweeted, “....seems weirdly similar to a speech Obama would’ve given if the exchanges were working fine."

========================================================

Now, you have to ask yourself----why did "His Greatness" heave himself into the Rose Garden to speak to his subjects?

I refer now to "Rush's Theorem": Oboohoo endlessly golfs and vacays b/c he can't appear to be governing. B/c he would have to take responsibility when things go wrong

Precisely what's happened here----he's hog-tied like a squealing pig to Obamacare---w/ all it's flops and failures. So he's forced to address his subjects to reassure them he's as great as he told them he is.

================================================

AS FREEPER SICKOFLIBS INSIGHTFULLY POSTED: If we oppose Obama’s Brave New World of socialist initiatives then we are responsible when things go wrong, not Obama. Benevolent Obama is all-knowing, all-wise. Between golf games and vacays, he can do no wrong.

===================================

AFTER THE SPEECH LAUGH BREAK:

<><> Fox called the 800 number touted by Obaba---operator said they can't give out info over the phone.

<><> Fox's Brett Baier reported a caller to the 800 number was told to go to the web site.

<><> Many reported getting busy signals---but Hannity got through--said the operator reported no one likes it.

==============================================

Obombo blamed Americans for the web site snafu-—said too many were accessing it. But wasn’t that the idea? They sold it as the panacea for millions of uninsured. Why weren't they prepared for the onslaught of callers?

=========================================================

Obamacare's a political infection spreading rapidly.......like a virulent flesh-eating disease. ALL the Dems who voted for this (no Repubs voted for it) need emergency medical help. Good thing they’re covered.

ROTFL.

========================================

THESE ARE TRULY MOMENTS TO REMEMBER Freeper Cincinatus' wife reminds us that that "Obamacare is The Spawn of Hillarycare."

For the Democrats, Obamacare is spiraling out of control like a cancerous growth----more like an extremely virulent flesh-eating disease......spreading fast amongst the Dem political classes.

INCONVENIENT FACTOID ALL the Democats voted to give us Obamacare and ALL the Republicans voted against it.

So sit back and enjoy political theatre at its best.....

BTW, Va's Cuccinelli (who won a lawsuit against it) has already grabbed onto this as a political issue....even as Bill and Hill dropped by to make sure the Dems vote fraud meat grinder was being readied for Cuccinelli.

Support Free Republic.
Make it monthly if you can.

[EXCH54FE]

You are 100% correct. The only thing I can say about Obama is “Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak without a T’prompter”.

Yep! An Empty Suit. Very empty.

"He is overwhelmed LOL"

Is it time for a vacation yet?

[DeFault User]

Obama as the pointy haired boss:

There is also an old Chinese proverb which says that even donkey dung is shiny when it’s new.

[Seattle Conservative]

“”He is overwhelmed LOL”
“Is it time for a vacation yet?”

Probably, but it wouldn’t look so good if he and the first Wookie spent a gazillion $s on a vacay now, so he’s doing the next best thing (sort of like a vacay for him), he’s going to campaign for the next 5 weeks:

Obama to go on post-shutdown fundraising blitz for Democrats

Granted I called the President a turd because at this point in time he IMO well earned that name.

You shouldn't disparage turds. At least turds serve a functional purpose.

[Old Yeller]

Did I hear Carney say ‘the hassles with the enrollment are better that the hassles of not having insurance at all’?

Which by the way, hundreds of thousands (and counting) have recently lost their insurance because of ClusterCare.

[SMARTY]

RIGHT!

And, once absolutely everyone is shoved off their own plan (that they LIKE) then they will be forced to enroll on the “O’care” crap, you'll see their ‘system’ REALLY fail.

All this is not even approaching the subject of the kind and level of medical attention which will be given when the entire western hemisphere is jammed into a system that was as badly set up as it was written into law!

[SMM48]

Do we see a pattern developing here? Barack Obama is the most spectacularly uninformed president in history. Or, he's a baldfaced liar.

He's a baldfaced liar. Simple as that.

[Fresh Wind]

Spanish and English are down. Wonder how the other 148 are doing?

I understand the Austrian language portion is working just fine.

[hosepipe]

[Scotswife]

So how DO those people wind up in charge of such gigantic projects?

[COBOL2Java]

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.

Or, all through the meeting, he might glare at the HHS upper manager like this:

...probably with his golf shoes up on the table.

Obama is like Evilene in the musical "The Wiz". She sang the song "Don't Nobody Bring Me No Bad News":

Evilene and The Winkies
When I wake up in the afternoon
Which it pleases me to do
Don't nobody bring me no bad news
'Cause I wake up already negative
And I've wired up my fuse
So don't nobody bring me no bad news

If we're going to be buddies
Better bone up on the rules
'Cause don't nobody bring me no bad news
You can be my best of friends
As opposed to payin' dues
But don't nobody bring me no bad news

No bad news
No bad news
Don't you ever bring me no bad news
'Cause I'll make you an offer, child
That you cannot refuse
So don't nobody bring me no bad news

When you're talking to me
Don't be cryin' the blues
'Cause don't nobody bring me no bad news
You can verbalize and vocalize
But just bring me the clues
But don't nobody bring me no bad news

Bring some message in your head
Or in something you can't lose
But don't you ever bring me no bad news
I'f you're gonna bring me something
Bring me, something I can use
But don't you bring me no bad news

[A CA Guy]

I hear you, but we know of so many other turds like McCain who has been a career long political turd, there is the Karl Rove turd, the King turd and so on.
