Let's go back to that "teachable moment." It was proclaimed by Barack Obama after he said that police in Cambridge, Mass., had acted "stupidly" in arresting Henry Louis Gates for essentially being black in his own house. It has been a month now, and the one sure thing we have learned in this extended teachable moment is about Obama himself. He can't teach.

They are throwin Obama under the bus.
Obama is an amateur about whom we know very little. He was run for president by others and now we’ve got at least another three years and some change.
When you get the Joker outside his comfort zone, he knows nothing. Just watch him in the townhalls, he talks about the things people aren’t asking questions about.
It’s a failure seen with most demagogues.
Liberalism is what is “lost”. Obama is just leading it further into the woods, as guided by the brilliant star of his own celebrity rather than by a moral compass, which itself was dropped by liberals years ago, somewhere back along the trail.
Wow! This from Richard Cohen?
He’s lost? On Martha’s Vineyard? Tell him to keep walking EAST...
The President Seems Lost........................... Seems? How about “is”.
but he can't resist piling on the accolades for Baraq
He doesn't know about the specifics...just hope and change. And that won't cut it when running a country. People ultimately want details, not vague generalities.
The only REAL details that Obama knows are about how to banish Whitey (and the civilization he gave birth to) and how to replace it with Collectivism (the new Civilization of Entitlement...made by and for the Entitled).
I have seen a lot of liberal oolumnist that have expressed negative opinions of him lately. That’s why I posted this. It’s interesting, Krugman, Rich, and Dowd have all written negatively of him. Tom Friedman has had plenty of negative columns as well.
Well I sure as h3!! ain't sending a search party out for him!
I think that you’re right. I actually heard those clowns on MSNBC this morning, saying that on any issue, Dear Leader just says to someone else, “you take care of it”. This guy is in way above his head.
It’s a beautiful thing to read Cohen whining and noting the similarities of Obama, LBJ and Jimmy Carter. LOL
One commentator on FoxNews this morning indicated that the problem with Obama Administration is that they can’t find a villain.
They tried to vilify townhall attendees, but those are grassroots crowds. They tried to vilify doctors. They tried to vilify insurance companies. Etc. Each attempt sort of blew up in their faces.
The CIA investigation is a new attempt to divert attention away from the flailing health care/insurance plan and to resurrect vilification of Bush officials.

How does that old Greek legend go? He keeps staring more and more at his own image in the water. Then what happens?
The only “teaching moment” regarding the Crowley/Gates business is that our president is the Luo Tribesman in Chief, a racist, an idiot, and about as politically savvy as a snail.
Gates should’ve been smiling and offering Crowley a coffee for his trouble. (That’s Sarah Palin America). Anything else is nonsense.
It's not "coolness"; it's "cluelessness".
The Gates incident wasn't about racial profiling. Gates tried to make it so and Obama was happy to play along. When a President screws up so badly as to pre-judge a legal case, it should be controversial. Shades of: "Nixon: Manson Guilty".
Similarly with Medical Insurance. There is no bill, there are two bills, there's a public option, there doesn't have to be, if there isn't there's no reform, it supports abortion funding - by not excluding it, and on and on. The whole thing is a mess.
Somehow if you ask any questions about it, or oppose any part of it, you're an un-American, evil, Nazi dupe of talk radio. Talk radio, that's the culprit. No it's those Republicans, you know the ones controlling zero branches of the government. No wait, it's the evil insurance companies. Now it's surgeons performing unnecessary amputations and tonsillectomies. Obama is in way over his head. He's not a leader. He's an ignorant, arrogant, narcissistic bully.
ObamaCare has been such a close parallel to HillaryCare it's amazing. Shrillary tried to bypass Congress, the doctors and the insurance companies. Then she tried to bully anyone who laid down on the railroad tracks. 0bama is V2.0.
