You would think that the president of the United States would at least be aware of all of the agencies. Well, at least he picked a great burger joint to go to, before his next shirtless photo op playing basketball.

I took a quick look at the scores each game last year. Talk about a reality check, good lord we were bad.
Last year I predicted a 1 win season with the distinct possiblity of going o-fer.
My prediction this year is a 2 win season. I see 3 games that we will be competitive in which are ULM, WKU, and Army. All of these are home games so I give us 2 of 3.

That dumb southern hick. Nothing but a bubba. His Vice President is really running the show, anyway. So stupid..... Oh wait, wrong President.

List of federal agencies

Here ya go. Memorize and comprehend. There will be a test.

We're not the ones that need the list and the test.

I figured that would be the response. Let's bring this closer to home, and be honest. After 4 months of being an officer, were you familiar with every statute of the Texas traffic code? Was it impossible for somebody to throw you a curve ball on that? Were there absolutely zero laws that you were responsible for enforcing with which you were unfamiliar? Do most police officers not carry a little cheat sheet book of common traffic violations? There's a LOT of stuff for the guy to be learning about right now and call me crazy, but a minor agency that takes satellite photos probably isn't the highest of priorities even if it does have a snazzy title with the word intelligence in it.

Edit -- (This addressed to the royal you, not any individual) You don't like the guy, fine. I would think there's plenty of ammo to go after him on policy without having to grasp at inane straws like this one or what kind of mustard he asks for. You really, really don't help your cause. It makes you look like a younger brother who's pouting that he can't do the same stuff as his big brother.

Right. I'm sure the next thing we'll learn is that he wipes his ass with his left hand JUST LIKE A MUSLIM!!!!!!ELEVENTY ONE1121!!!@!!

And given todays climate I would expect any prospect President to be familiar with all the intelligence agencies.

Just helps prove how clueless this guy really is.

I have to agree, the guy should know about the intelligence agencies that are providing him, and the rest of the government, with information. He is not new to the government and not new to intelligence reports, I hope.

I would be amiss if I didn't admit that of all the things that we can bitch about, we choose this? wow.

Real Americans use Gulden's spicy brown mustard, and only a commie pinko eats French's yellow.

Seems to me that Obama would be more comfortable at a Burger "King" for burgers.

He's probably not at all new to intelligence reports - he's had at least a few just in his 4-5 months in office. It's an agency only a few years old, that used to be another agency. And this agency basically just reports things to other agencies who then probably put the NGA's data together with their own in order to formulate a report. On top of that, they're using a mix of government and commercial satellites to gather all of this, so even then, they're just a middleman.

Of the 90-wabillion agencies, it's hard to not have any fall through the cracks of memory.

He was a senator for a couple of years, He has been aiming to be in the White House for 4 years. He should have a better grasp of the agencies. Im not saying he should know the exact details and complete functions, but he should at least know the agency exists and have a basic knowledge of it. He has daily briefings. Satellites are such an important function in the protection of this country, how can you not even know about them.

No, I dont carry a cheat sheet. I carry the whole book covering state laws, and I have the site which contains them bookmarked on my computer.

And NO cop knows all of them, then again, we are not respoinsible for the safety of the free world.

He likes mustard?!?! The commie bastard! Im a ketchep guy. :rolleyes:

I think he should be treated just like Bush. Let's ust call him a moron, make fun of his midwestern accent, come up with conspiracies about Biden, and move on. That would be the fair thing to do, right?

Rudy · May 31, 2009

make fun of his midwestern accent

Well he does have at least 3 accents.

And here-in lies the problem. A Federal government that has grown completely out of control. And on top of this Obama has appointed at least 18 "Czars" that report and answer directly to him. It's like his own little shadow government.
