A string of embarrassing episodes for the Obama administration that the president didn't seem to know about until the public did is raising questions about why he wasn’t in the loop and who should have told him.
Knowledge that the IRS was excessively targeting Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations during the 2012 election cycle arguably would not reach the president’s desk before the news media learned this spring.
But reports over the past week weeks that President Obama was not aware of the National Security Agency monitoring German Chancellor Angela Merkel's cell phone nor of the technical problems that plagued the ObamaCare website ahead of its Oct. 1 launch suggests he is taking too much of hands-off approach or perhaps not surrounding himself with people who can keep him informed, critics say.
Also this week, NBC reported first that the administration in 2010 that ObamaCare was written in such a way that the president’s promise about Americans being able to keep their health insurance plans could not be kept.

Or, more likely, The prez initiated this action. It is his MO. Or what a coincidence that Dr. Carson wags his finger at the president and almost immediately finds himself under an IRS audit.
Someone needs to tell barry what a chief executive officer actually does. I’m sure his extensive experience as a “community organizer” taught him how to put a turd into a punchbowl, but nothing about getting it out.
It is clear to everyone by now that Obama is only a figurehead and not the chief executive.
Mark Levin frequently reads 0bama’s daily schedule. A typical “work day” for 0bama is a short meeting about 10:00 am. Next thing on the schedule is lunch. Short meeting or speech about 2:00 pm. Next thing on the schedule is play time. 0bama is a lazy, dumb, shiftless liar. He does not know what he does not know, but he thinks he knows everything.

Has he ever held a Cabinet meeting? how frequently? IIRC that was a big issue in his first year.
Oh, bullshit. Excuse the language, but HE KNEW. WHY is it that no one in the mainstream media accepts the truth that Obama HATES freedom?
He hates classical Christianity, the Constitution, and free market Capitalism. Simple.
Obama is a micro-manager.
He has sacked 211 Military Officers in his nearly 5 years of Marxist Rule for opposing him on implementing the details of the official Obama Planned Destruction of the US Military.
Pinheads, such as “gullible for the sake of high ratings” Bill O’Reilly on FOX TV, are stupid enough to believe the Leftstream Media/Jarrett planted smokescreen that “Obama is not interested or involved in the day-to-day workings of his Administration.”
NOTHING could be further from the truth!
There is nothing that escapes the minute examination by Obama.
For example, when Obama and then Treasury Secretary Timmy Geithner planned and executed the IRS harassment of the TEA Party Organizations, the go-to-guy at the IRS was recorded by the Secret Service to have visited the White House 150 times, including his admitted “egg-roll with his kids.”
ALL that happens was thought of, planned and ordered by B. Hussein Obama.
What Obama says is of extreme importance for the following two reasons:
1.) The first statement that Obama makes is ALWAYS a LIE. Example: “My first thought of the day is jobs, jobs, jobs.”
Thus, one KNOWS that the opposite of what Obama says is the truth.
2.) The second statement that Obama makes is to accuse a Republican of thinking of doing something evil to America that Obama has already done.
Thus, one KNOWS what evil Obama has already done to America.
From leaving his loyal Warriors on the Field of Battle in Benghazi to be murdered to refusing to negotiate with Republicans when Senator Reid shut down the US Federal Government last month, Obama has every detail under his control of the terminal destruction of the United States of America.
To believe that “His People did not tell him” is to award oneself with the Bill O’Reilly Pinhead Award.
BTW, Gullible Oak Clusters are awarded for each additional time that one chooses to believe that B. Hussein Obama “didn’t know.”
‘Just remember. The only thing the President knows is what we tell you he knows. Anything else happens you just say that you didnt tell him about it until you get further direction. He only knows about things that are seen as successes like Bin Laden’
In concert with ValJar (who carries out the orders), Barry is indeed a micro-manager. Such is the nature of Communism.
Speaking of which, I wonder what Obama has been told.
I have some beach-front property in South Dakota. . . .
I disagree.
Baraq is not a detail person at all.
His minions/handlers may be but not him.
I read the book on the auto bailouts by his boy Steve “the rat” Rattner and the “hands off” management approach comes across strongly in there.
Baraq got stuff to do, like play golf and go on vaca...
Obummer should be on a desert island-
Wait! He`s already on one.
And regarding the auto industry bailout, you can be sure it was Obama's idea to stiff-arm the secured bondholders in favor of the unions when it came time to divvy up any remaining cash.
Yup....you nailed it....
Nobody gets to POTUS when they are as incompetent as Obama “looks”....it’s a ruse to give him some deniability.....
His honor guard, the media will play along....
A didn’t know or never knew President is a not in charge President who is acting as he did with his votes as Senator, just PRESENT!
But being black is supposed to be good enough, right? The bigotry of lower expectations and all.
