Every single time that the Obama Administration is caught doing something terrible the response is always the following:
We just heard about this problem through the news......
We're mad as hell about it......
This was a Bush program......
The GOP cut funding........
Usually, when it is an extremely touchy subject, Obama doesn't comment on it much in public. He'll run to the cameras at the mention of any sports figure coming out, or the hint of any white on black crime, but not something that he is directly responsible for. Instead, he sends out spokespersons to do his talking for him. When this happens it's because he knows the jig is up. The pattern is first not to comment, then send out someone to say they're really angry, then they mention that the problem existed before he took office. Eventually, over time, it becomes a fake scandal invented by the GOP for political purposes.
Obama is even captured on video years ago telling us that each and every one of these problems are well in hand and that he's doing everything in his power to deal with them. Trust him. He's on the job.
Truth is, he feels his job is to make them worse and then use them against the GOP in some manner.
Obama wasn't elected to solve the problems he claimed were in existence in 2008. He's in the White House to sow the seeds of descent, and to drive a wedge between us. He never intended on fixing anything. He's only a world classed troublemaker.
Everyone should have expected this when they elected a "Community-Organizer", which essentially is just a professional race-baiter/trouble-maker.
