This seems to be Obama's new tactic after watching his NSA speech today, "I did not know", well OK. It seems that the things he did not know is piling up pretty high for his administration. His secretary of state Hillary, "I did not know what was going on in B******i until I was briefed". His Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (sp), "I was not aware of this issue". IRS scandal Lois Learner, "I had no idea that this was happening" (pleads the fifth to shield herself). Kathleen Sebelius (sp) "From my understanding everything was ready to go, I was unaware of any problems". These are some pretty powerful people in this administration and they are all clueless as to what is going on under their watch?

I do not know about you but I find that an insult to my intelligence. If so many high level people are clueless to what is going there are only two explanations. They know exactly what is going on towards an agenda and trying to cover it up or, this administration is suffering from a serious case of incompetence. Believe me, I wish it was incompetence because that can be fixed. A deliberate agenda on the other hand is an out and out lie that misleads people onto a path that is unrecoverable. Once implemented there is no turning back.

So ask yourself which you see as more likely. Both are bad for us, but really, what makes more sense? A system as big and powerful as the US government, they do not make mistakes on that kind of scale. Stop listening to anything more than your own common sense. Listen to that niggling voice in the depths of your mind that is so quite, instead of the blaring propaganda from external input that captures your mind and manipulates you into being a follower instead of an individual.

Is this real? Yes

Simple Answer-they know exactly what is going on but are following their leader. They count on the fact that America has a short attention span and will soon forget what happened especially if a new give away program is on the horizon. This administration has the distinction of being comprised of the most deceitful people one could assemble. They, starting with the number- one fraud himself, will look you in the eye and lie to you without a scintilla of guilt or remorse. It is amazing to me that this man and his gang of crooks still have any support. As a country, we are being played as suckers and our president is viewed as a petulant school boy . It will take a strong person and years of hard work to restore our status on the world stage. Good Luck America !!!

Try to use that excuses for work, I am sorry I did not know. They will fire you so fast and right out the door.

The Gov. is so massive that it is not possible for one person to oversee it all. That is why there are Senate committees to do that. No one seems willing to question the Senate intelligence committee about the NSA. THEY are the immediate supervisors of that agency. I am not an Obama supporter but this constant attack is tiresome. There is a chain of command and although the Pres. is at the top, there are more persons more intimate with what goes on. Give THEM some heat.

Agreed. It seems really sad to me that so many Americans no longer care about what made us great to begin with. Obama and his liberal army are marching into the future unabated since they have no opposition. There are no republicans, there are no democrats any more. We have become a socialist society. The government runs everything now, it is massive and we as citizens have no power whatsoever. What sickens me is that we walked into this with our eyes wide open. It started in the late 40's and no one listened, through the years again people became more and more disconnected and more reliant on the government. People stopped being about unity and became all about themselves. We became divided as a people with no unity and this was all by design that we sucked up like hard candy.

The sugar rush sure is nice, but the come down always sucks.

Fantasy is such a nice place until reality caves your face in and leaves you with no options except the one you were led to.

I don't believe a word this man says anymore. I didn't believe much when he ran the first time, but now I don't believe a thing. You can blame it on underlings, but it come down to this. Obama told them what to do, so he is still responsible for their actions. If he and the rest truly didn't know what is going on, then it is way past time to remove them for incompetence. If his people are doing things like this without his OK, then they need to be fired right now. I simply cannot believe that his people are all running around doing things like this and he doesn't know exactly what they are doing. He must really think we are stupid to believe these lies.

I look at it like this. I run a business, everything ultimately comes down to me. I am responsible for my company plain and simple. If one of my employees drops the ball they are not responsible, I am. I am just a small company though and I would never throw one of my people under the bus. I am responsible for everything.

Obama has never accepted responsibility for anything accept his half hearted apology for Obama care.

A true leader recognizes and corrects his own weaknesses, so that he can become stronger as a leader. He does not hide behind others.

The Government is to big and needs to be cut way back.
It's not to big for one person to handle. You either put good people into positions that knows how to make good decision or you can put in all the cronies in to bring down America.

I guess the question then becomes by your answer, is the government working for us the American people, or for its own perpetuation or prolongation? We as citizens have to recognize and act in our own best interest because we can no longer trust the government to do so.
