Morning Joe remains the home of the overwhelming ratio of liberal to conservative guests. Even so, in recent weeks a narrative unflattering to Barack Obama has emerged around the table: Obama doesn't like his job. He doesn't particularly like people and is in the wrong line of work.
An even more damning appraisal was offered today: Obama doesn't think he has failed America. He thinks America has failed him. Or as Jon Meacham encapsulated the concept, Obama believes "the country is not commensurate with his gifts."

"Obama doesn't like his job." If this is true, it's only because he wants to be an Emperor instead of a mere President who has to explain himself to Senators and Congressmen.

The Tyrant's gifts saliently DO NOT include 'documentation'.

This just in from the Imus show..
Geraldo Rivera takes on conservative talk radio. Watch out Rush, Sean, Mark, Mike here comes another Air America!
Geraldo gets the 10:00AM to noon on WABC radio.. hundreds of stations across America to follow shortly.
I'll give American what we're not hearing now, says Rivera. Not going to be the same ol' talking points.
Nytimese, Latimese, liberals, progressives excited: with Air America and now Geraldo, we win!
Wot? Air America is down to just two stations? Both home-based neighborhood broadcasts?

"A country commensurate with his "gifts" would be Zimbabwe or Haiti. "/i> Only if he would be a penniless peasant there. He has no other gifts.

Obama is just the tip of the iceberg.
Nearly all of the bureaucratic appointees, many in congress and the senate,the media and of course all of academia share this same outlook on America:
WE-average Americans—are not enlightened enough to understand their complex ideals and our failure is the primary reason why this nation is failing.
The elite are NEVER at fault.

It is clear that America is not commensurate with what 0bama has to give; 0bama’s tool is too small for the Grand Canyon that is America.

Think how hard it is for tens of millions (those who voted for Obama) of Americans (who think of themselves as smart & savvy) to admit that they totally missed the obvious, were scammed by a know-nothing punk, and were seduced by a Chicagoland punk who has NEVER accomplished anything.
How many times have you heard anyone say "Boy, was I stupid!"?

If he shot scratch, I might say, wow, we have someone special here. But he shoots in the 90’s and I am willing to bet that is from the ladies tees.

He finds our Constitution inconvenient because he is a tyrant at heart.

Since Obama’s ‘gifts’ are mostly megalomania, a messiah complex and teleprompter reading, it’s unlikely any nation, or anything can measure up.

At risk of violating Goodwin's law, the last time I heard logic like that was from a bunker under Berlin in April 1945.

This kind of reminds me of the Clinton days when the press would say that about Billy. That we didn’t understand how lucky we were to have him as President.
