I love the way the wingnuts think the President is in absolute command of everything. I know it fits their distorted paranoia and requires a patholgical level of cognitive dissonance, and it’s very schadenfreude of me, but I can’t help it.. titter titter guffaw.

Ariail nails the tea partiers correctly, a bunch of cowards up a tree. Too funny that with all the huffing and puffing the republicans are making about these supposed scandals that in the end there will be no there found there.

Oh, they’re his dogs all right, when it’s Seal Team 6 killing Bin Laden with the training and support his predecessor put in place. Then they’re his dogs.

Do you know what his job is? Because he sure doesn’t. Ask him, he’ll tell he doesn’t know and found out only when you told him because his Administration won’t let him know when there are problems. I don’t understand why people are trying so hard to protect a President who is so derelict in his job. How many people would be able to keep a job if all of this was happening under their watch? Whether or not he is responsible for the problem, it is his job to know what is happening in the country and abroad. Especially if someone close to him knows about it.

He won’t take responsibility for anything! He’s worthless!
The buck definitely doesn’t stop at his desk.

Mr. Obama seems to enjoy being a ‘statesman". He’s driving the car, though Congress may not let him go the direction or speed he wants, and he enjoys driving the car. But every GOOD driver should know how to check oil and transmission fluid, change out fuses, and perform basic maintenance. They also need to know when to take the car in to be more thoroughly inspected.
This cartoon shows a driver who is barely watching his gas gauge, much less watching for any other problems.
Was Mr. Obama given “Plausible Deniability” by people who did not tell him what was happening at the IRS or the AP? Did they deliberately leave him ignorant of these abuses of power? Did he ever ask or imply that he WANTED deniability? Why weren’t stronger & more rapid actions taken by those who did know?
I’ve been “taken for a ride” by a lot of Presidents, but I prefer one who can avoid micro-managing without being kept in the dark.
Those aren’t his dogs, but they were left in his care, so he needs to deal with them. The longer it takes to attach names to these issues, the worse he looks, and the more damage our ‘car’ takes as it travels without its needed repairs..
Respectfully,
C.
