Barack Obama claims he learned about Hillary Clinton’s email scandal on the news
During an interview this weekend Barack Obama claimed that he only learned about Hillary Clinton’s potential email scandal when everybody else did–he heard about it when he saw it on the news.
Here is the video:
It is not surprising to me that the President would make this claim because this is the same thing he claimed when we learned Eric Holder’s Department of Injustice was running guns into Mexico and this is the same thing he said when we learned about the IRS targeting scandal.
The problem I have with this is that we know White House aides knew about Hillary Clinton’s secret email account last August and it seems highly unlikely to me that none of them thought this potential scandal was worth mentioning to the President.
This led me to two possible conclusions: either Barack Obama is lying or he is detached and incompetent. I do not know which one I would consider to be worse.
However, before I published this post my eyes were opened to a third possibility by a comment on Facebook to a link I shared about this scandal earlier, and that is there is the real possibility that his aides did not share this information with the President in the event this scandal blew up, as it has, in order to distance the President from Hillary Clinton. This would give Barack Obama plausible deniability…
The more I think about this possibility the more plausible it becomes, however even if that scenario is true it is not less offensive to me for it shows me that Barack Obama’s most trusted aides have put partisan politics above both transparency and doing what is right by the American people in order to protect the President from a scandal they most likely knew was coming.

Yah, sure. I’m not so sure about that.

How he continues to f____ng disgrace himself, the country and the presidency, a presidency so diminished that literally no other country respects us; just as he planned. And still politicians and talking media heads claim they lay off Obieonemulattomuslim because they respect the office. What a crock of shit from these moral cowards.

Yep. Plus even the Globe Tabloid knows, as they’re stating on the front page, “Obama is Insane.” A mentally ill liar, in a top position – just as the Globalist ordered.

Insane no, but the man is mentally ill. For him to think we would believe him is out of the question, I believe nothing he has to say, every word out of his mouth is a lie, in my book. That “reading/hearing it the same place you folks did” is getting old…he needs to change tactics. However, the media does his bidding and that is that. We just have to deal with it the best we can and get the word out, as hard as it is getting to be. He is trying to look up this form of communication, as we know, I just cannot figure out how more people do not see it.
I watched some of his Selma speech, well, at least what I could stomach before I turned it off. He was pandering to the crowd, he brought out his “other talk”, you know the one where he says words differently and is one of THEM…they ate it up….he was preaching!!!! The Presidency has so taken a turn for the worse with him in the position. We have alot of making up to do, if we are ever able to get respect back from people that were our friends…they see him for what he is, WHY do half the American people choose to ignore that??

I agree, lou. He does have some kind of mental illness and for him, or anyone, to expect us to believe that he learned about this from the media, same as we did, is just not rational.
I can’t watch or listen to him, but I did read what he said….I was completely disgusted. Again, he puts no responsibility on blacks for their troubles, it’s always someone else. I know discrimination exists and I know all too well that we live in a soft police state, but it’s no longer a ‘race’ thing – it’s the People against our corrupt, illegitimate government and the people behind the scenes pulling our government’s strings.

His use of the word “folks” has perverted it like the word “gay!” He learned a LOT from J. Wright. http://www.wnd.com/2012/10/trinity-church-members-reveal-obama-shocker/
It may not be ‘half of Americans’ who are brainwashed to believe him, but when a ‘crazy’ has the DHS that doesn’t mean much. Remember when he spoke in France and no one clapped – they’re not fooled by him.
