So the Washington Post came up with a list of 8 things that is surprising that people in his WH knew, but somehow Obama didn't know.

What do you find the most shocking that he was out of the loop on? I added a few and feel free to add your own.

#1 Fast and Furious, Obama found out about it through the media and thought it was Bush's program - despite it being started and signed off from within the WH.

#2 Benghazi, Obama was never informed about appeals to heighten security, despite appeals being made to the administration and WH. He apparently was misinformed that it was all over a video too.

#3 Petraeus Affair, Holder knew for months in advance, but Obama found out AFTER the election.

#4 DoJ collecting records on journalists, people in the WH knew this was happening for months, but Obama was not made aware until the media caught wind.

#5 IRS scandal, senior WH aides knew for months, but Obama found out from the media.

#6 HealthCare.Gov, Obama was not informed that the website was struggling.

#7 NSA spying on Merkel and etc...Obama just didn't know it was happening, despite it going on his entire presidency.

#8 ACA cancellations...Obama didn't know, but it6 was known by aides he apparently let him lie.

#9 The Circumstances surrounding his own mother's death, despite being his mother's lawyer on the case.

#10 Reverend Wright, attended his church for nearly 20 years and Obama hadn't been informed that Wright frequently made controversial comments - including controversial comments sold in pamphlets and DVDs right in the church lobby.

#11 Other

There's really no 'good' way to paint this one! Either he knew, as a President should have ... and yet, he has repeatedly distorted the truth and distanced himself from any 'inconvenient truth' that might hurt him or the Democrats;

OR ... he didn't know about any of the things he says he didn't know about .... and we have a President who is completely out-of-the-loop in his own administration.

I specifically tried to word these as people forgetting/choosing not to inform Obama, because I know that if I said Obama lied - I would get called a racist by the bots.

It would be interesting to see, which is the most shocking that Obama is not kept in the loop on.

It's always interesting how Obama is the most bumbling idiot to ever hold office, and the most ingenious conspiracy master to pull of these off without getting arrested so that the only people who know about it are people made out to look like lunatics. While also being a puppet of the Illuminati, Bilderburg group, New World Order and Freemasons.

That Obama is dumb as a sack of rocks to have accusations of new things about him every week on these wingnut sources, but later it's not that his accusers are wrong or lying...it is that he is so masterful to able to turn to the tables on his accusers and remain in office.

That as a time traveling Marxist, communist, socialist, atheist, extremist Christian, and Muslim he is undermining capitalism...while improving the market and economy since the crash in 2008.
