Rick Perry???? It's a carnival.

 

[Musburger1]

A few weeks of managing the nuclear stockpile and now he's a damned authority.

 

[UTChE96]

I get it, the incoming administration always blames the prior administration if they were from the opposition party. This administration has taken it to another level. If Bannon were to mistakenly use the women's restroom, it would be Obama's fault.

"Operationalized" the NSC? That doesn't mean anything.

That two sentence statement explains a lot
Including why none of them were talking about that Bannon move to begin with
I have always liked people who can say the most with the fewest words

Perry isn't as big of a crackpot on foreign policy as Bannon was, but he's not any more of an authority on national security. Nevertheless, I'm a little confused on something. The Secretary of Energy is a statutory member of the National Security Council. Link. Accordingly, Rick Perry didn't have to be added. He was already there.

It would be difficult to "take it (Blame) to another level" after Obama:

1. Obama’s IRS blames low-level employees in Cincinnati for Tea Party targeting scandal.
2. Obama blames the Founding Fathers for gridlock in Congress.
3. Obama blames Bush for Fast and Furious scandal.
4. Blamed Bush for the VA scandal.
5. Bush for the economy.
6. Bush for the deficit.
7. Bush
8. Bush
9. Bush
10. And Bush
11. Blamed Texas and Florida for unaffordable health care costs.
12. Obama blamed Congress for Solyndra.
13. And the Chinese.
14. Blamed Insurers for cancelled policies under Obamacare.
15. He blamed the Secret Service for the cancellation of White House tours.
16. Blamed Republicans for the BP oil spill.
17. Sebelius went under the bus for Obamacare.
18. Fox News was responsible for his many scandals.
19. Blamed Reagan for a distrust of government.
20. An unknown filmmaker was blamed for an unwatched YouTube video for the terrorist attack in Benghazi.
21. The aforementioned Hagel blame game.

Passing the buck during difficult times – and the administration has had many difficult times – is quickly becoming a hallmark of the Obama presidency

"President Donald Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon denied on Thursday that he considered quitting his White House job following his removal from a key National Security Council committee.

It's a 'total lie,' Bannon said, pushed by 'Democrats getting crushed on policy.'

The former chairman of Breitbart News is seen as Trump's populist-conservative confidant and a balance to more centrist Republicans in the White House. His absence would dramatically swing the Oval Office away from the base that elected him.

Asked-point blank if there is any chance he's leaving the administration, Bannon replied: 'Zero.'...."​
