Stopped clock moment

It's not often that I agree with Piers Morgan, but it's hard to argue with his analysis of President Obama's performance, especially the way he threw his intelligence folks under the bus:
‘James Clapper (Director of National Intelligence) has acknowledged that they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria,’ he said, when asked how ISIS’ influence could have spread so fast.

As Governor Chris Christie pointed out, by saying ‘they’ rather than ‘we’, Obama tried to distance himself from any personal responsibility or accountability for what has been a catastrophic failure to act over the greatest terror threat facing the world since Osama Bin Laden.

A more shameless, reprehensible display of buck-passing it would be hard to find from a sitting President.
There's more at the link and it's a real dudgeon fest.
