Title: The Audacity of Unawareness
Post by: Hazcat on July 16, 2009, 10:12:36 AM
Barack Obama, through his spokesman, claimed today that he was unaware of the tax day tea parties. Granted, the MSM has done a good job in suppressing any sort of coverage ahead of time (and the little coverage they did provide was derisive at best)… but how out of touch is the Community Organizer in Chief, really?
This much.
- He was unaware that he was attending a church (for 20 years) with a racist pastor who hates America.
- He was unaware that he was family friends with, and started his political career in the living room of, a domestic terrorist.
- He was unaware that he had invested in two speculative companies backed by some of his top donors right after taking office in 2005.
- He was unaware that his own aunt was living in the US illegally.
- He was unaware that his own brother lives on pennies a day in a hut in Kenya.
- He was unaware of the AIG bonuses that he and his administration approved and signed into a bill.
- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of COmmerce was under investigation in a bribery scandal.
- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services was a tax cheat.
- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of the Treasury was a tax cheat.
- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be the U.S. Trade Representative was a tax cheat.
- He was unaware that the woman he nominated to be his Chief Performance Officer was a tax cheat.
- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be #2 at the Environmental Protection Agency was under investigation for mismanaging $25 million in EPA grants.
For the love of God, there are people in comas that are more aware of world affairs than this guy.
Let me add that he is also unaware of where he was born!

I have said that the President is only the head of all that do the work. We have grown things so large that he can not do everything or know everything. However, he needs to know everything about those he surrounds himself with, and if they screw up it is just as if he screwed up.
That said, I don't think he really didn't know about all those things. I believe that "I didn't know" is a convienent response that many will cut him slack on. These are all character flaws that he doesn't see a problem with, and he is proving that we as a nation are as bad as our grandparents warned us about.
"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything."

Here is where it gets sticky though. How can you convince people that your massive government programs are going to fix everything and you are going to make everybody's lives better. But when asked hard questions sit there and say that you don't know.
I'm getting REALLY tired of this kind of B.S. Of course they knew about the tea parties. Of course they knew about the tax problems of all of their nominees. They didn't care. And they assumed with the media on their side, no one would find out. It's not about having the best person for the job, it's all about advancing socialism. And until the rest of the country wakes up and figures that out, we are going to continue to get screwed.

Well when we are all out of work we will have lots time to hunt them down and make them aware.

JC you are obviously an expert marksman because that comment hit the 10 Ring.
