I watched him on 60 minutes tonight and has this guy ever admitted fault in six years of office? Does he know anything going on or does he find out everything in the Newspaper. Its so frustrating to never hear him accept responsibility for anything that goes wrong and when something goes right (Bin Ladens death for example) he is quick to accept credit for that.
 
Navy Pride started a thread complaining about Obama. I am shocked!

Sometimes I'm amazed how the right always lauds the free market, except when they find out the current president finds out his information through a free market newspaper.

Five posts attacking the Poster ... not one addressing the question.....

Interesting pathos.


Much like a large number of the world, I find it difficult to consider him in any serious manner.

Good eve NP

... that's how our entire political culture works. Relations between political rivals are similar to relations between toddlers kicking over each other sand castles on the playground.

Perhaps that is a problem of yours not Obama's. Prejudice is an insidious master. The truth is that Obama has done a far better job than his predecessor under difficult conditions.

If you think Obama is clueless today, just think if there was no Fox News Channel to keep Obama informed what's going on with in his own administration and on his watch.

Come on iguanaman, where are you coming up with such bat **** ?

Remember what the Middle East and North Africa were like back in 2008 compared to today ?

Remember what our military was like back in 2008 compared to today ?

Remember when Obama was claiming that Al Qaeda was on the run and was being decimated back in 2012 ?
A bigger lie than "A Bright Shining Lie" ?

Remember when the USA was held in awe by the world and was a super power that could kick ass big time without PC restrictions ?


After 9-11-01 can you list any Muslims who shot, beheaded or blew up any bombs on U.S. soil before 2009 ? I know, I know, it's all violence with in work place.

It's not ancient history, just political correctness.

I can't think of too many instances when he admitted fault. That is his pathological narcissism. He simply can't. Even when he talked about the shovel ready jobs saying that "shovel ready was not as shovel ready as we expected", he giggled like a school girl while saying it. It isn't so mystifying that he does it as the fact that Americans will still go to the mat to defend the guy for doing it.

It's rare for President to admit fault but BO admits to being left out of the loop often, appears as he is leading from behind or not doing his job. Supporters will make every excuse for him, while everyone us just shakes their heads.

LOL, Bin Laden death, BO played cards in another room until the photo op arrived.

In this case, he didn't say he was left out of the loop. He merely said his Administration (specifically, the CIA) under-estimated the ISIS/ISIL threat and the Iraqi military's ability/willingness to fight against the threat. That's different from claiming he knew nothing about it. Besides, what exactly was he suppose to do about it anyway?

I know how most people (Republicans) feel about not leaving a U.S. residual force in Iraq, but the bottom line is ISIS/ISIL likely would have formed whether we were there or not. And since we weren't there it wasn't our fight to deal with. Iraq and Syria initially were the only two countries who were at risk from ISIS/ISIL. It wasn't until the beheadings did they pose a risk to the U.S. or any Western ally.

You would be correct, my statement was in general - BO claiming to find out about other issues in the media.

BO knew about ISIS last year but yet he blamed Clapper, instead of taking responsibility himself. Why did BO blame Clapper, when his intelligence team was reporting about ISIS in his daily reports.

"Nearly eight months ago, some of President Obama’s senior intelligence officials were already warning that ISIS was on the move. In the beginning of 2014, ISIS fighters had defeated Iraqi forces in Fallujah, leading much of the U.S. intelligence community to assess they would try to take more of Iraq.

Other senior intelligence officials have been warning about ISIS for months."
Why Obama Can

It wasn't until the ugly be-headings that BO was forced to do something. ISISL was multiplying in those 8 months and continues to grow daily.
 
Very petulant interview. He doesn't like hard questions - and they weren't even that hard. He's extremely prickly and effete.
