Obama's Excuse Machine

[boedicca]

This is a roadmap to how all Obama Scandals unfold, so it's a handy tool through January 2017!

This White House handles every failure as a lab project for a juco crisis communications class. Never thinking to actually fix the underlying problem, they passively hope the press doesn’t report on it. On the rare occasions the mainstream media does dig into the scandal of the week, the administration drops the issue into Obama’s excuse machine:

Monday: Relevant Cabinet secretary vaguely admits that “mistakes were made,” though no blame is shouldered or assigned.

Wednesday: President Obama claims that he only learned about Crisis X “from the papers,” that he’s “mad as hell,” and will “get to the bottom of it.”

Thursday: When Jay Carney is asked for more details he mocks the reporter and refers the others to some executive sub-department.

Friday: Carney insists that he “couldn’t possibly comment further until the investigation is over” on the second Wednesday of November. Incriminating documents released at 6 p.m.

Saturday: GOLF!

Following Monday: White House launches messaging campaign on an unrelated feel-good initiative. Michelle posts photo on Twitter, leading to three days of press debate on her daring belt/shoe combo.

Following Thursday: Jay Carney mocks further questions about Crisis X since it is “old news.”

Following Friday: At a fundraiser, Obama blames America’s problems on a recalcitrant GOP obsessed with “phony scandals.”

Hey, it's worked so far, no need to fix a machine that is performing as intended. The press knows what's going on, they are complicit.
