What does Obama want to hear?

"A number of Centcom analysts say their superiors falsified intelligence assessments, overstating the success of US airstrikes and downplaying ISIS’s growth. Fox News reports the analysts got at least two e-mails ordering them to “cut it out” and “toe the line” after they filed reports on the “rapid rise” of ISIS."
Now the Pentagon’s inspector general has seized e-mails and documents from military servers and is adding investigators to the team poring over the evidence. But both Fox and The New York Times report that some of those documents and messages may already have been deleted.
Obama said Sunday that from the moment he took office, he demanded intelligence not be “shaded by politics” or “the desire to tell a feel-good story.”
Hmm. If he’s been getting good intel, he’s ignored it. How else to explain his calling ISIS the “JV team,” or saying it’s been “contained” just hours before the Paris attacks?
Obama at the G20 Conference a week ago: I’m Not Interested In ‘American Leadership, Or America Winning’ So, my question is, why wouldn't the people passing on the intelligence to him color it, shifted it, twisted it, to reflect what Obama is interested in?

Glen Beck says the Obama policy all along has been ISIS to fight and depose Assad, for him, and later take credit.

He wants to hear someone patting him on the back.

And that's it.

I assume the worst. What would be the worst thing?

He needs yes-men.

Even with all the fluffing and insulation he's had all his life, he is but a delicate snowflake.

He wants to hear "Nice shot sir. I believe that was a hole in one. I'll get it for you and see you on the next tee."

This was discussed on Fox's Special Report Monday evening.

On the panel, Juan Williams agreed this was an outrage - almost as bad as the intelligence information George W Bush receive regarding WMD before entering Iraq.

Will these guys EVER stop blaming Bush for Obama's incompetence?
