^^^Reflexive denial, I suspect.

Potentially, Obama's whole life is fakery and constructed. Reality is to be avoided at all cost, and the "narrative" presented or nothing said. Someone that deep into a fairy tale has a hard time doing anything but deny or suppress anything they didn't think of or find challenging.

Too, these worthies "know" what the rest of us "need", and have arrived at their station to lead us to a "better future". We are too stupid and uncredentialled to know their genius. Things that conflict with this vision of superiority are to be ignored, denied, suppressed or attacked.

Then again, if we really did know the facts, someone would be headed for jail, careers ruined, "rice bowls" and empires shattered, stupidity, venality and (I think) outright treason exposed. Things are probably worse than what we can imagine. Some players are probably and rightly scared witless. Who knows what they might say under oath, that will waterfall onto others?

Denial and obstruction are all that's left.
