Better Than Liberal FDR, LBJ or JFK? You'll Never Guess Ed Schultz's Favorite President!

How much of a liberal cheerleader is MSNBC's Ed Schultz? On Monday's Ed Show, the host was asked this question by a viewer: "Who is your favorite President?" Rather than answer with liberal heroes like Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson or John F. Kennedy, Schultz immediately responded, "President Obama." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]

The cable anchor enthused, "I respect him immensely for what he has done with the economy, which I think absolutely is amazing." Schultz insisted, "He's been obstructed more than any other president in American history."

Better Than Liberal FDR or LBJ? You'll Never Ed Schultz's Favorite President

More than any other president in history? Abraham Lincoln certainly faced some obstruction during his presidency.

Schultz extolled, "He could have turned his back on the automobile industry in the country, but he stood with the workers. I could go on and on why I like this guy."

On February 10, the host morphed Lincoln into Obama. Perhaps Schultz meant that as a compliment to the 16th president and not the other way around.

During the answer, the liberal journalist tried to temper the straight forward question by adding, "in my lifetime, he is my favorite president." Even with that added qualification, Presidents Kennedy and Johnson would still be excluded.

ED SCHULTZ: Ask Ed Live. Our first question comes from Aria. She wants to know "who is your favorite president?" President Obama. In my lifetime, he is my favorite president. I respect him immensely for what he has done with the economy, which I think absolutely is amazing. He's been obstructed more than any other president in American history. He brought us health care. He could have turned his back on the automobile industry in this country, but he stood with the workers. I could go on and on why I like this guy. And also, outside of not having an interview with me, that doesn't matter. When my wife had cancer, he wrote a personal note to Wendy. That goes a long way.

That does not surprise me

If I listed the 43 White House occupants (counting Grover Cleveland as one person and not two, and using the term “occupant” and not “president” so that I could be confident Obama belongs in the category) from best to worst, Obama would rank at the absolute bottom, just edging out James Buchanan for the most destructive in our history. I worry that after three more years it won’t even be close.

Ah, Special Ed. A Kool-Aid gargler to the last.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

I’m sorry but this practically falls under “news of the obvious.” The dude works for MSDNC after all.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Is this funny, sad, or scary?

Does Ed know that his career is over if he answers otherwise?

What dirt does the NSA have on him?

Or maybe he's afraid of getting Breitbarted.

Im surprised he didnt say Mao or Che

[cincinnati65]

There it is.....the very last shred of anything even remotely resembling credibility just left MSNBC. Look I could accept Schultz idealizing FDR or JFK. LBJ would be a stretch, but I could even accept it as a low percentage play, but OBAMA???????

I hate saying this, because I know it plays into the "racist meme", but quite frankly all Obama has done is show up, be black and spend money while obstructing every hope of a business recovery. At least the others LED! Not in a direction I wanted America to go, but they did LEAD.

Who is Ed Shultz?

Anyone paying for a monthly tv bill is paying for multiple Viacom, ABCDisney, Time-Life-Warner-Turner, NBC, et al channels. They each get a cut of your bill even if you don’t watch them.

Defund the Left.

Or don’t.

It’s your choice and your money.

There have been efforts for over 20 years to permit customers to select their channels but Big Media blocks any legislative attempts. Their lobbying efforts pay off well.
