Piers Morgan: President Obama this week committed professional suicide.

UK Daily Mail    "Let me explain.
"There is a theory in politics that once a leader has fired 50 or more people from his or her administration, he or she is finished.
"The reason being that by creating so many enemies ‘outside the tent’, the tent itself becomes too deluged with poisonous bile to avoid sinking into a quagmire of back-stabbing ignominy

"Obama went a lot further than firing 50 people.
"He managed to single-handedly alienate 200,000 employees in the American intelligence agencies by going on 60 Minutes and ruthlessly chucking them all under a bus over the rise of terror group ISIS.   Full article

:   President Obama is attributing the rise of ISIS to the intelligence community's failures in order to deflect criticism of his own incompetence.
I take issue with much of what Judge Napolitano writes in here, but he hits the topic head on with this last statement:
... "Yet, if Clapper and his spies so miserably failed to educate the president about a threat he now claims is real, why do they still have their jobs? They have their jobs because if the president fires them, they might freely speak the truth, and the truth is the president's enemy. They have their jobs because the president is so bad at performing his."

He can't explain the lapse, so he just keeps talking ; At work we used to call this dazzling 'em with footwork.
