Because it's always Obama's fault. They even tried to blame an earthquake on Obama. No, I'm not kidding.

We are talking about Water filtration, in this case, government is the expert. And no, that isnt what you said.

Your argument is based on the premise that Democrats did nothing as if Democrats were in power and could do something.

It's not that Repubs would have been any better... it's that government in general can't run things. They are not experts at anything. All we can hope is that they can mange stuff at a competent level.

Exactly!


If O wasn't aware of this list of situations he certainly wouldn't be aware of Flint's water supply.


He wasn't aware of obamacare rollout not being ready for use.


He wasn't aware his plane, Air Force 1 was out of its hanger and flying low over NYC


He wasn't aware the shovel ready jobs he was pushing, didn't exist


"White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said the president didn't know about explosive Veterans Administration scandal until he saw news reports"

""Obama was unaware for the last 5 years, the NSA had been spying on German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other members of world leaders. Only after an internal Obama administration review in 2013 did the White House know of the spying.""

"President Obama news conference with Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan (5/16/2013): "I can assure you that I certainly did not know anything about the I.G. report before the I.G. report had been leaked through press -- through the press.""

Michael moore arrived just in time to save Flint!

I understood your point, im saying you and Moore are wrong. I also made the secondary point of saying that blaming both parties when one isnt even in power is just as attempt to share the blame where there is no need to.

1. it doesnt take a genius to know why the President doesnt know about spying on foreign leaders, its called plausible deniability.

2. The VA scandal, this is the one that really gets under my skin when it comes to attack on the president not knowing something.

Do you seriously not know that CNN was the one who found the scandal, and there for, where else would he learn about it from, since they broke the news ???????? Did you expect him to read the minds of everyone at CNN ????????

Or are you actually making the bigger argument that he should have somehow known that fraud was going on ?

3. Shovel ready jobs actually did exist, but funding has to be appropriated in enough time for those jobs to formulate.

4. I have never even heard about the plane thing, and I doubt anyone even cares.

5. Obamacare is a set of rules and regulations, not a website.

the Republican governor assigned a tyrant to run Flint's government. The Tyrant then punished Flint and its people for being black Democrats.

I consider the situation to be a case of legal assault with intent to sicken and harm the citizens. harming these people was not an accident or a side effect. It was the goal of switching water supplies.

That tyrant was a black Democrat.

And the whole issue never would have happened if black Democrats hadn't turned the city into a bankrupt ****hole in the first place.

Like Hilary said, Obama and I started doing something for a while about lead but then we just lost it in all that other stuff we had to do. Don't worry, when I get into office I'll go look for it and start it up again. Darn that lead thing, where did that go.
