The Daily Mail reports that Barack Obama is still Barack Obama.
During a White House meeting called to brief America’s largest tech companies today about government overreach in electronic surveillance, President Barack Obama changed the subject – angering some meeting participants by shifting gears to address the failed launch of healthcare.gov.
‘That wasn’t what we came for,’ a vice-president of a company whose CEO attended told MailOnline. ‘We really didn’t care for a PR pitch about how the administration is trying to salvage its internal health care tech nightmare.’
One executive said that meeting participants were dead-set against straying from the principal focus of the meeting – the uncomfortable and legally untenable position they are in when the National Security Agency demands access to their digital records.
The White House said in advance that the meeting would include a discussion of healthcare.gov, but the company executive said the only subject that mattered to the participants was the NSA.
‘He basically hijacked the meeting,’ the executive said. ‘We all told the White House that we were only there to talk about what the NSA was up to and how it affects us.’
Rather than just say what Obama is, I’ll depict it in a photograph ripped off from Google Image Search.
Not clear enough? How about this?
Barack Obama is presiding over the most embarrassing policy rollout in the modern world. The country that put men on the moon and won the Cold War can no longer build a website. In today’s meeting, Obama had some of the most tech-savvy people in the world assembled around him.
Most people in that situation would take the opportunity to seek a little advice. Barack Obama is not most people. He thinks he is better at everyone else’s job than they are. Even though he sucks at his.
He thinks he can talk and grin his breezy little way through anything.
Instead of listening to the minds assembled around him, Obama sucks up the air, hijacks the meeting, and delivers a sales pitch for that failure that ought to be a source of great humiliation for him. If he was capable of being humiliated.
After Sunday, I thought it would take a long time to find anyone in the world who is dumber than anyone associated with the Dallas Cowboys.
It took two days.
I would have liked the article better if the executives had used their names and companies.
“I would have liked the article better if the executives had used their names and companies.”
Probably because they were afraid of being audited by the IRS if they did. But it won’t matter, because Butthead will have a scorched earth policy and audit them all anyway. I suspect things like Amazon, google, ebay, etc. People with millions of what they hope are secure transactions.
Saw it on the tube. He didn’t belong in that room. The execs were star struck.
“The country that put men on the moon and won the Cold War can no longer build a website. In today’s meeting, Obama had some of the most tech-savvy people in the world assembled around him.”
No, Cannuck built by one of Moochie’s “crew.” I don’t want this f***ing POS to work anyway. Let it go up in f’ing flames and hang it around that piece of dirt’s neck, like you’d hang a piece of pee’d on carpet around a dog’s neck.
I can appreciate the execs position, but the WH did inform them 0Care would be discussed. Of course it would monopolize the meeting - did they really expect any kind of meaningful dialogue on surveillance matters??
He’s a whore. Simple.
“I would have liked the article better if the executives had used their names and companies.”
No need. Oracle, facebook and Yahoo execs were there. You know...the same “smart” people who couldn’t even fix a 100 million dollar website yet get a hard on because they’re in the presence of their god.
Least qualified guy in the room.
Obama.
Wow! If the media really covered this as expected, it would be that he met with some bigwigs and they laughed as his ideas... Won’t hear that on the evening news. The MSM is only delaying the fry-time...
This President is toast but he has no idea of that now... He is slowly burning and can’t yet feel the heat.
These people of substance were star struck by a nincompoop?
At least one of them wasn’t. I remember the exec who said that when he goes to the WH he has to meet with people he wouldn’t hire.
A dog doing his business on the grass has more scruples than Obama.
There’s power, and then there’s power.
“I would have liked the article better if the executives had used their names and companies.”

Of course they will be audited. You don’t piss off Emperor Bozo without consequences.
Nelson Mandela NEVER condemned the practice.
Community organizer, nothing more.
Barry is both clueless and worthless. He’s a perfect Kenyan-Muslim-Marxist community organizer.

This administration is soooooooo bad that if anyone within the administration tells you that it is 3:00 PM you had better check because it’s more that likely 6:00 PM.
Don’t be fooled, most of the execs voted for Obunga. From what I heard on the radio yesterday, some Microsoft bigwig stepped up to take the lead on Obungacare.
