After Carney claims POTUS knows nada, citizens ask ‘What Aren’t They Telling Obama?’

Only in the White House can underlings decide to keep important info from the boss and still keep their jobs. Obama's that bad. #tcot

As Twitchy reported, during this afternoon’s press briefing, Jay Carney stunningly — and wholly unbelievably — claimed that White House staffers were aware of the IRS targeting conservatives but decided not to tell the president. Maybe they figured he’d eventually read about it in the news!

One reporter got to wondering:

Reporter: If the IG report isn't worthy of the president's attention, exactly what is?

And, well, that got a bunch of Twitterers thinking: if the president didn’t know about the developing IRS scandal, what else is he unaware of?

Big, big question given staff meltdown. This –> @bdomenech: I wonder what else they aren't telling Obama.
