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.

Oh, and it’s the fault of Bush
Anything.
Everything.
Obamacare website debacle is the fault of Bush, too.
Obama is simply a dumbass.
It is extremely improbable that Obama did not know about the spying as they (attempt) to brief him daily on what they find and how it’s found.
Not only is the Obamacare roll out a disaster, the US is now a world laughing stock.
In a dangerous world, that is a very dangerous thing.
Allies angry, enemies laughing and hacking the social media sites of the person who is at present POTUS.
Great point.With this article in mind people should go back to seeing “Being There”.Perhaps my favorite satirical movie.
No, the biggest liar, ever.
I wish I could agree with you, but I think things are going along about as planned to this point for him.
Mr._resident, what do you know?
I know nuh thing.
When did you know you knew nuh thing?
I have always known that I know nuh thing.
End of interview.
Less Chance, more Basketball Jones.
It isn’t that Obama is uninformed, it’s that the US Media has become so utterly biased.
(much of it under threat of intimidation or career-loss)
By the way, Snowden is no hero. He is an agent of the regime whose mission it is to force NWO/UN control over our NSA. Once our foreign intelligence capabilities are marginalized, we cease to have the edge on the international stage. More sabotage on America's superpower status by the insurgent regime, and that includes Snowden.
How would you like to be in Jay Carney’s shoes constantly having to lie and cover for such a lying, incompetent POS?
THIS!
