How is it that President Obama seems to find out about the scandals plaguing his administration at the same time as the rest of us? Doesn't he have people who are supposed to give him a little heads up?

Why, didn't you know? President's are just big oafs and morons who sit at the top of the food chain but never get to see the food being served below. Just ask them when something goes wrong! See? They never know anything about nothing.
Of course..if something goes right? They not only know ALL about it from the earliest day it was an idea in an incubator....they likely helped think it up themselves, from scratch!
They'll tell you both, with equal sincerity, and never even pause to consider the mutually exclusive nature of the situation. Nope... We're to listen, believe and Obey. Critical Thinking is a course in school we're to forget as soon as completing it for a grade on a sheet.

Obama can use this strategy because nobody in the MSM is really there to call him out.

I could go on, but quite frankly, I have better things to do today.
Q: Why does Obama find out about scandals the same time we do??
A: Because any moron can be president these days!

Bahhh... My personal take has never been of real high respect for Bush in mental ability. He was an aggressive, simply minded cowboy and reactionary. Stick a shiny object in his field of view and he focused on the new toy while others finished with the old one.
I don't know that Obama is any better......but then, the main point is that they claim to have been ignorant of everything which is bad. I still have vague recollection of the endless hearings on Iran/Contra which were, in the end, about wether President Reagan knew or not. Anyone who thinks that man didn't know, needs counseling and then some real intense classes on human nature vs. political function.
Bush (Cheney...to be honest), Obama and even Reagan...are micro-managers and authoritarian to the core. It isn't about whether someone would tell the President of their screw up. It's whether they would DARE fail to tell him ...and then just hope hope hope...it never comes out. These men tend to utterly destroy what isn't loyal and makes them look bad...
It tells me, the little people beneath them wouldn't even consider "great things" that could become "bad things" without the boss knowing...lest THEY join the list of "dead things".
