This administration, and all the minions of darkness therein, never seem to know what's going on.
The Know Nothings were a secretive faction of the 'American' political party in the 1850's. The American party was basically an anti-Catholic, anti-immigrant organization. The Know Nothing name came from the society's instructions to answer any queries concerning their meetings and activities with "I know nothing." What are we seeing today?
People die in Benghazi, and Obama lies. But no one knows anything. He doesn't know anything, but he's really upset about what happened and is going to work night and day to bring "whoever" to justice. Question: why was nothing done to aid the ambassador and the others? Answer: I know nothing.
Check.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham was in charge of the safety of the embassy personnel. She doesn't know anything, and "what does it matter?" that four Americans died. When the 3:00 AM phone call came, she didn't answer. Question: why wasn't the security increased in light of the warnings given. Hillary's answer: a lie to Congress, and she knows nothing.
Check.
Susan Rice lied about the Benghazi attack perpetrators, and the impetus for the attack. But Susan didn't care. She didn't know anything, or wasn't talking beyond the Obama script. She was rewarded with a promotion. The poor guy who made the video, was a political prisoner for several months. Question: why spread the lie about the video? Answer: I know nothing.
Check.
The IRS attacks the Tea Party groups. Obama has no idea how this happens. No one is more upset than he! But how could you expect Obama to know what was going on in his administration? Maybe it was rogue agents! Can't trust those Cleveland agents. Maybe it was George Bush's fault! Question: who instructed the IRS to harass the conservative groups? Obama's answer: I know nothing.
Check.
Hey, I know. Let's ask Lois Lerner. She was in charge. Oops. She doesn't know anything. Great, now she gets a promotion, too.
Check.
The NSA spies on Americans. Obama says, "What?! I didn't know that was happening! Nobody is more upset..." Blah, blah, blah. Lie, lie, lie. No one, absolutely no one, in the administration is held accountable. Well, maybe a couple of factotums, a few peons had to take a couple of paid days off, but otherwise, no heads rolled. Not a cabinet secretary, not a department head, not the Teflon narcissist.
Check.
The Obamacare sign-up rollout is falling flat, failing spectacularly. Why is this happening? Obama doesn't know. Nobody told him! And he is hacked off, I tell you. Really upset. I mean really, really upset. Kathleen Sebelius doesn't know. No one told her. How can it be her fault? She is only the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Why would you expect her to know anything?
Question: how many have been allowed to sign up for Obamacare? Sebelius' answer: I know nothing.
Check.
So. Is it incompetence, or deceit?
Even an incompetent would get something right once in a while. To borrow a line from the X-Files, "This administration operates by deceit, inveigling, and obfuscation."
