President Obama is to blame for 9/11 because he took too many vacations while in office.

http://crooksandliars.com/2016/09/wow-mind-blown-daily-shows-jordan-klepper

The last popular conspiracy that Klepper addressed highlighted the irrelevancy of time to the typical Trump supporter. More specifically, they blame anything that happened during the Bush 43 Administration on the Clintons and the Obama Administration. We hear some more 'thoughts' from the original MTV, who was asked why President Obama didn't lift a finger to stop the 9-11-2001 attacks. Klepper suggests to the same man who created the aforementioned Magic Johnson/Clinton theory that Barack Obama was remiss in the tragic events of fifteen years ago. That Kenyan guy just couldn't be bothered to do his job. The cause?


MTV: Not being around, always being on vacation. Never in the office.

KLEPPER: Why do you think that Barack Obama wasn't in the Oval Office on 9-11-(2001)?

MTV: That I don't know. I'd like to get to the bottom of that.

KLEPPER: Wow, mind blown!

Even the hardcore-Republicans have already forgotten that one guy who was President. You know whom I mean: That one republican Ex-President who no longer gets mentioned by the GOP-leadership, or invited anywhere.

Even if they tried to Bill Clinton for 9/11, at least they would be on the same timeline as the rest of us!

Republicans immediately blamed bill clinton for 9/11, mostly because they claim he could have and should have nailed bin laden while he was president.

They never say why shrub couldn't have done that himself before 9/11, of course.

They also never explain why we should think that nailing bin laden would have prevented 9/11, as if they wouldn't have retaliated or simply continued with their plot.

Anything bad that happens during a Republican administration is due to the most recent Democratic administration.
Anything bad that happens during a Democratic administration is due to the current Democratic administration.

Anything good that happens during a Democratic administration is due to the most recent Republican administration.

You see it with the economy, with national security, with natural disasters, etc. And the media is more than happy to play along.

9/11 was caused by Obama and Clinton. They were the ones piloting the planes and used their time machine to warp out at the last second to create ISIS and plan their attack on Benghazi 11 years later. There were no Republicans in the equation really at all. Please do not bother confirming dates or anything regarding this matter.

What was that Jimmy...who killed Osama Bin Laden?

George Bush got bin Laden. Killed him with his bare hands. And then he landed on an aircraft carrier wearing a flight suit that totally didn't have socks stuffed in the codpiece to declare "mission accomplished".

Any other questions? Now let's move on to the German attack on Pearl Harbor. Which was also Obama and Clinton's fault.
