Leadership: President Obama now claims he doesn't watch the news after telling the public he learned about all his scandals from the news. He is a man of many contradictions.
Obama told donors at a Democratic fundraiser Tuesday that he doesn't watch the news because, "Whatever they're reporting about, usually I know." Really? That's big news coming from our bystander in chief.
Obama's go-to defense during times of scandal — from the IRS targeting Tea Party groups to Fast and Furious gun running — is he first learned about it from the news.
"I heard on the news about this story that Fast and Furious, where allegedly guns were being run into Mexico and ATF knew about it but didn't apprehend those who had sent it," Obama said in 2011. "Eric Holder has — the attorney general has been very clear that he knew nothing about this. We had assigned an IG, inspector general, to investigate it."
Asked last year about the IRS scandal, Obama responded, "I first learned about it from the same news reports that I think most people learned about this," adding later, "I certainly did not know anything about the (IRS) report before the report had been leaked through the press."Read the rest of the story HERE.
