Piers Morgan slams Barack Obama for “shameless, reprehensible display of buck-passing”

October 1, 2014

piers-morgan1151  In recent days Barack Obama has faced some criticism from what up until this point had been an unwavering and important ally–namely the media. After years of blindly accepting what the president said we have finally begun to see the White House press corps start to ask some tough follow-up questions and we have also begun to see others in the media question the president.

  The latest example of this comes from the newly rehired Piers Morgan who wrote the following about Barack Obama’s claim that the intelligence community let him down, which led HIM to make the claim that ISIS was a JV team of terrorists.

  Here is part of what he had to say:

He managed to single-handedly alienate 200,000 employees in the American intelligence agencies by going on 60 Minutes and ruthlessly chucking them all under a bus over the rise of terror group ISIS.

As Governor Chris Christie pointed out, by saying ‘they’ rather than ‘we’, Obama tried to distance himself from any personal responsibility or accountability for what has been a catastrophic failure to act over the greatest terror threat facing the world since Osama Bin Laden.

A more shameless, reprehensible display of buck-passing it would be hard to find from a sitting President.

  This does not surprise those of us who have been trying to point out for years Barack Obama’s propensity at taking full and sole credit for things when they go well and for passing the buck (I like to call it spreading the blame around) when things are not going well.

  Piers Morgan–and the rest of the media for that matter–is late to the party but better late than never. Of course there is always an ulterior motive when the media is involved because they have an agenda and in this case I believe the media is distancing itself from the president in order to also distance Hillary Clinton from Barack Obama’s policies to help set up her run for the presidency in 2016.

    I find this report rather shallow. The billionaires are the ones who now run our Country; so why waste time now trying to make a story where there is none. The real story today should or could be about the apathy of our adult population who would rather be entertained by sports than take the time to decipher what is really going on in our country today. When they wake up,they will reap what they have sown!!!!!!!!!

      I am sorry that you feel this way. I try to write about as many issues and stories everyday as I can. In doing this I write about some things that some people find important and other stories about what other people find important. Some would find yesterday’s post on Rosie O’Donnell to not be newsworthy but you did. Not everybody is going to find everything that I write to be important, but if I want to grow this blog I have to try to cover as much as possible.
      By the way I agree with the other things that you wrote.

        Steve I’m glad you posted this one, I probably wouldn’t have seen it otherwise. I understand Mary’s comment and agree about the ‘entertainment mindset’ [which is part of the agenda machine], but Pier’s coming out like this speaks to ‘his kool-aid’ wearing off and that’s important as well – and encouraging! Some articles mentioned about ‘sports being an American pastime drug’ esp. football. After so many years of ‘conditioning’ by the ‘dumbing down program’ what are the apathetic to think? If the ’emergence service’ announcement comes on, it better not happen during game time! OR during the Blacklist show! Knowing what the Founders prescribed in this ‘situation’ we find ourselves would help ‘we the people’ to know – what to do when usurpers take over the Gov. Having steps to follow would be good, esp for those coming down from the kool-aid high or sports withdraws.

        Agreed, the reason this story has some significance is because it shows the media beginning to see who Obama really is and it shows they are starting to realize they cannot defend hims and maintain their credibility when they begin promoting Hillary.

    He apparently managed to single handedly alienate thousands of Secret Service employees as well. “I find it hard to believe somebody was allowed to enter the White House whom the Feds did not want to enter”… 😦

      If the hundred or more SS ‘happen’ to look the wrong way, a.k.a. Prez might not make it to his next ‘blame it on them’ speech.

        Yeah, Obama probably should have thought that comment through a little better.

    Blind hogs and acorns _ Piers Morgan, the man who hates guts but likes to shoot off his mouth, finally got something right. I wonder when Obama’s speech writers are going to catch on?

      I guess he was bound to accidentally get one right at some point. Love that line about guns and shooting his mouth off!

    While it seems obvious Piers skipped his medication it is stii refeshing when any one of these lemmings leaks his/her subconscious. Obola gives not two shits what anyone, friend or foe, says, writes, or feels about him as he methodically changes and destroys anything American with the exception of the golf courses.
