Is this the most ignorant President or just the most incompetent?

On Tuesday, a representative from the White House said that the President did not know that the NAS was spying on Allied world leaders.

Now, either the White House is lying or they are telling the truth. But if they truly did not have any knowledge of what was going on, then we have reached a tipping point and are now faced with the worst case scenario. If this was done without White House knowledge, then our government has gotten so big that our elected officials can no longer administer it. And the result is that we now have unelected bureaucrats making the decision to spy on foreign leaders. 

More proof of this is that we apparently have IRS officials selectively deciding to approve or reject                                                                                                     applications for tax-exempt corporations.  The White house denies knowing anything about this also.

We also have ATF officials running guns to Mexican drug gangs that the White House AND the Justice Department know nothing about.

Congress apparently is just as uninformed; Senator Dianne Feinstein, a member of the committee that oversees the NSA, insists that they (Congress) knew nothing about the spying on allies.

According to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, the President did not know about all the problems that had been identified with the Affordable Care Act website prior to its “rollout”. 

Allegedly, the President did not know the Department of Justice was seizing the phone records of Associated Press reporters or that General Petraeus was being investigated. No one in the government supposedly knew that the diplomatic mission in Libya had requested more security and no one in Congress knew exactly what was in the Affordable Care Act as speaker Pelosi informed us we had to pass the bill to know what was in it. The President must have been terribly ignorant of what was in the Affordable Care Act also because he assured us “if you like your health care you can keep it” and hundreds of thousands of Americans are finding out that was a lie, me being one of them.

So who IS running this country? Apparently not our elected officials. Congress works an average of 3 days a week and the President has managed to get 146 rounds of golf in since being elected. They have not apparently had time to keep track of the tens of thousands of federal bureaucrats that ARE making decisions that change and effect our lives.  So in the absence of anyone else in charge, we let some unsupervised bureaucrat at the NSA decide to offend world leaders who are supposed to be our allies? We will let some low level ATF officer decide to ship military grade weapons to drug dealers who then use those weapons to murder American border patrol officers? And who knows who is authorizing the drone strikes that are used to kill US citizens.

Is this the most ignorant President or just the most incompetent? Could Congress get any less effective at supervising the government?

Harry Truman one said “The buck stops here”. I would think our President, who is supposedly a history scholar, would have heard that.

Bu then, maybe it is just one more thing the President does not know.
