Kathryn Ruemmler is her name and she is Obama's legal counselor. Her job, as she defines it, is to keep Obama in the dark as to all potentially scandal reporting, and she has performed this function to a fault. Obama's chief defense as to Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS scandal, spying on the media, Administration attacks on specific reporters at Fox, CBS News, and NBC, the MF Global embezzlement scandal, and on and on - his chief defense, thanks to Ms Ruemmler (a German name, btw) is simply this: "I didn't know." Never mind that this makes him look like an irresponsible administration, running, hiding, never wanting to know what is going on while he is raising money, playing golf, and helping his wife pack for her next vacation.
And this man, who hides behind a structured and intentional state of ignorance, continues to hold good approval numbers. No president has been involved in more scandals. No Administration has seen its people claim ignorance more often. No political structure has been more committed to conservative attacks and white, middle class, voter suppression. No one has raised more money off foreign soil. No one has had more undeclared donors. Absolutely no one's background is more opaque. No president has ordered more legal attacks against the media, mainstream or otherwise. And no president has broken more promises that B Obama.
While his approval numbers appear relatively high, still, he attracted 13 million fewer Democrat voters than expected in 2012. His State of the Union speech, this past January, drew 6 million views per network, when, in 2010, that same speech, drew more than 31 million per network.
And Ms Ruemmler is standing in the middle of all this vile hypocrisy.
Obama and Company actually believes (apparently) that we, the people, do not understand the term "plausible deniability." We not only can say that word, we see the end game of this deceptive practice are getting tired of the word games.
