Obama's '60 Minutes' dodge tears the Administration apart
One of the reasons it's extremely unwise to put people like Barack Obama in charge of anything is that their frantic efforts to save their own skins have a way of tearing apart the teams they lead. It's hard to keep up with their ever-shifting excuses and prevarications. A subordinate might find himself fiercely defending every word the boss said on Monday as gospel truth, "clarifying" those words on Tuesday, retracting them on Wednesday, and denying the boss ever said them by the end of the week. Other people in the operation often object to being used as scapegoats for failure, leading to nasty internal battles.
When that team is the gigantic federal government of the United States, and it's at war with a savage foreign enemy, the results of Obama-style anti-leadership can be catastrophic. His team is now sweating through Day Two of damage control for the President's latest attempt to spin away his foreign policy failures on "60 Minutes." When your damage control needs damage control, you're in a bad place. This particular effort went so badly wrong that even the designated softball pitcher for CBS News, Steve Kroft, felt obliged to call Obama out for lying during what was supposed to be a friendly interview. The intelligence community Obama tried to saddle with the burden of his failures wasted no time speaking up and making it perfectly clear they did warn the President about the threat of ISIS, long ago...Also read:
