"Obama 'Unaware of Illegal Aunt' "--headline, BBC website, Nov. 1, 2008

"Obama Unaware of Tea Party Protests"--headline, Examiner.com, April 15, 2009

"Obama Unaware of Backroom Deal, White House Says"--headline, Dallas Morning Newswebsite, June 4, 2010

"Blago Judge: Obama Unaware of Seat Exchange Bid"--headline, Associated Press, May 16, 2011

"Sebelius: Obama Unaware of ACA Website Glitches Before Launch"--headline,CaliforniaHealthline.org, Oct. 23, 2013

"Obama Reportedly Unaware NSA Spied on 35 World Leaders"--headline, ABCNews.com, Oct. 28

And that's just the short list!
