IRS? Huh? I'm pretty sure everyone in the country knows about the IRS and I'm pretty sure he knows about Obamacare. Sorry, but one person, no matter what party he/she is from, won't know everything about every single department in the country. POTUS, again, from any party, is getting a high level view of everything with a particular focus on things like national security. The same would apply to Bush. They were going F&F type of things back in his reign and well and I doubt that he knew anything about it either.
Obama claims he didn't know about Fast & Furious, Benghazi, IRS, Obamacare. It is either of these
Obama is lying
His yes men keep bad news away from Obama to protect him
They are afraid to tell Obama
I'm going with all of the above. The excuses vary. With Benghazi, he was out in a gay bathhouse nowhere near the 3:00 am phone call. The others are probably a combination of stupidity and fear.
The guy is about as dumb as they come. It's really hard to figure out how someone so incredibly dumb could rise to such a high level of employment. Talk about your Peter Principle!!!
We The People, have lost the ability to hold those that serve us, according to the US Constitution, accountable.
And there are clearly those who simply don't understand the question. Those are the 0bama boot lickers and toe suckers. Pretty funny stuff when you take the time to read what they write on forums, lolol.

Seriously dude?
You tapdance for a living, or just here?
Obama is just the mouth piece for the administration. Things are probably ran pass Valerie Jarrett or Michelle first, then Barack gives the OK to make it official.
Was trying to wear the batteries out on the TV remote and seen Obama talking. That man is a broken record, same song and dance over and over, just a different crowd. Sure will be nice to get a new puppet in there someday, I am bored with him.
The Presidential 'bubble' has existed forever. Every President complains about it, too.
All Presidents have a very tight schedule every day, so their senior advisers always make their time with the President as short as possible. A lot of stuff always gets missed or skipped over, and the majority of it isn't the President's proper concern anyway.
Bush II in particular complained bitterly about the bubble during his second term. Rightly so- he was getting blamed all the time for things he knew nothing about until it was too late. There are always at least 2 layers of officials between the President and all his directors and department secretaries, and more with matters of the Pentagon. Only the CIA and FBI have fast direct access to Presidents.
Blaming the President for everything is easy to do on all sides of every disturbance, peccadillo, or whatever. But very few Presidents are so thin-skinned their staff is unwilling to tell him the truth. Nixon was the touchiest of them all, but even his staff gave him bad news when it was required.
