While there may not be a direct line of orders from the Oval Office leading to the actions of his subordinates, ...

Maybe there's not, maybe there is.

Don't be surprised if there is.

I'd be surprised if there wasn't.

I believe we actually have a Tri-President, with three different characters built into himself.

First, there is the forever-in-campaign-mode guy. Speeches on a weekly basis....campaigning in a non-election year....political accusations when you need across the board support...and generally says only what the mass of his supporters want him to say.

Second, there is the liberal-and-progressive protector. Any concept which falls into the side of the group...is fiercely protected. A concept for the bulk of American society....less so, and to some degree...not important.

Finally, there is the actor. He acts like a President...speaks like a President...and walks like a President. But it feels more like an act than actual authority.

> No matter which president we have, the hands-on mastermind or the indifferent slacker, the actions of him and the people around him make a third-rate burglary seem quaint.

He’s gone WAY beyond Nixon’s and Clinton’s little infractions. Not only has he been the worst president in U.S. history but also the worst threat the U.S. has ever dealt with.

He refuses to tell us who he really is, how he was educated, where he traveled and he refuses to show us un-forged evidence about his past. You cannot help but be suspicious that his history is a lie - a big one.

He has no idea what agencies and departments do nor how they work. He does not understand policy and how leaders use policy to govern. He believes he has the right to destroy those who have a different opinion. Do not kid yourselves, he used the IRS as a weapon to destroy political opponents and persons he feared politically.

Obama is every bit a tyrant. He cannot govern without blaming everybody but himself. He is not an American. He knows nothing of America's heritage. He never speaks about American values. The big questions are, who is he really and who has inflicted him on us?

[maddog55]

He’s an idiot, just like the people that voted for him.

"the president of the United States was deliberately kept ignorant of information by the very people he most trusts to keep him informed. This is a dangerous development…if it’s true."

It's a dangerous development if it's not true, too. It means that the President is telling bald face lies to the American Public.

[Senator_Blutarski]

Here are two simple questions for the press to ask:

(1) Mr. President, why won't you instruct the IRS, the State Department and the Department of Justice to cooperate fully and completely with any and all Congressional inquiries?

(2) If you support government transparency, why won't you appoint Special Prosecutors for the Benghazi, AP and IRS scandals?

IF the media had done their job in 2007 & 2008, we would NOT have Obama in the White House at all.

[Verginius Rufus]

Of course Obama is smart. Just look at his college grades or read his brilliant articles in the Harvard Law Review.
