I've always thought of Barack Obama as the "Chauncey Gardiner" of American politics. Like Peter Sellers' character in the classic film, "Being There," Obama is an embodiment of outsiders' hopes and dreams for who they think he is. Reality, like the film, shows there isn't really a lot of there, there.
This weekend, we learned that President Obama "didn't know about" NSA spying on world leaders, especially German Chancellor Angela Merkel. He also "didn't know about" the posthumously obvious problems with the rollout of the ObamaCare website exchanges. According to the New York Times, these problems were evident 8 months ago. Yet, it seems, they never made it to the President's desk.
President Obama was also completely unaware that the IRS was subjecting conservative organizations to undue scrutiny on their tax-exempt applications. At the time of the alleged targeting, the IRS Commissioner visited the White House more than almost any other federal official, but, apparently, never disclosed his agency's targeting of political opponents of Obama.
President Obama also, presumably, was unaware of the Justice Department's program to allow Mexican drug gangs to purchase military-grade arms from the US. Those arms have been used to murder thousands of Mexicans and at least two US border patrol officers.
President Obama also, apparently, didn't know that his spy agencies were monitoring millions of phone calls and cataloguing billions of web visits and data transfers. He, it is reported, didn't know that these same agencies were also recording phone calls in foreign countries.

Then there’s the possibility he’s lying like a rug about what he’s known.
Naaaah.
For those unwilling to acknowledge Obama’s motivation for everythng he does, that is all of his policies, simply ask yourself this question:
“Does this policy expedite the destruction of America?”
That’s the real explanation.
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President.”
That and a MSM in lockstep w/ our socialist president!
Far from it. He is winning without trying, as he has been doing all of his life.
All he has to do is deny knowledge or blame it on someone else and his agenda keeps marching on.
I’d like to see Clown Prince nobama “uniformed”: in a orange jumpsuit with multiple restraints.
Don't forget that when that movie came out, leftists sneered: "Heh, what an ACCURATE portrayal of Ronald Reagan"
No, Chance is TOTALLY Obama. Some guy with no background, no life experience, no concept of what the Constitution is, who simply reads words off a Teleprompter.
And people think he's "deep" and smarter than everyone.
But honestly, what does Obama EVER know about?
He never seems to "know" ANYTHING, nor take responsibility for ANYTHING.
He's the ultimate President who wasn't there.
