Silence spoke powerfully today on Morning Joe. After a clip rolled of a listless President Obama speaking about the Paris attacks, Joe Scarborough asked Mika Brzezinski what amounted to a rhetorical question: "does he look like he is engaged and understands the level of threat?"
When after a few seconds Mika failed to reply, Scarborough tried rephrasing the question, but still elicited no response. Her silence was so telling, so excruciating, that Mike Barnicle--ever the good sycophant--piped up to slavishly assert "I think he looks fully engaged."

Half the audience were making faces at Obama and the other half had their fingers in their ears and shouting LALALALALA
The cokehead is probably "all wee weed up".
This was a remarkable TV moment. Mika struck dumb when Scarborough asks if Obama is showing leadership.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
PS: I know that “struck dumb” is a hanging curve ball for folks, but it was actually a stunning moment, and I’d encourage you to view the video.
In 0bama’s view, typical white people “have it coming.”
But as president he has to do something. So he does as little as possible. Mouthing insincere platitudes is the absolute minimum, so that's exactly what he does.
Scarborough was cunning this stunt.
Which ended up stunning this.... Mika.
Oh Come On , we all know Obama has been semiretired for almost 7 years now
Of course he’s not engaged. You have to be fully and completely willing to fight against this evil and you must believe it is evil to be fully engaged.
He appears to be saying the words he is expected to say.
Perhaps because Putin has threatened to expose exactly what Obama has been up to in Syria and Libya.
Putin has been floating a few trial balloon this week hinting that Obama has been lying about his fighting ISIS in Syria and that Obama has actually been covertly aiding ISIS and covering for them in Syria
{”I know that “struck dumb†is a hanging curve ball for folks, but it was actually a stunning moment, and I’d encourage you to view the video.”}
She agreed with him and did not want to say it IMO.
I agree. When Mika finally spoke, she said that at some point the “optics” have to match the magnitude of what happened, which was her way of saying that Obama’s performance fell very short.
The Peter principle is a concept in management theory formulated by Laurence J. Peter in which the selection of a candidate for a position is based on the candidate’s performance in their current role, rather than on abilities relevant to the intended role. Thus, employees only stop being promoted once they can no longer perform effectively, and “managers rise to the level of their incompetence.”
Notice Obama’s frequent “pay grade” references?
He surpassed his level of competence when he quit his student/community organizer job and became a Con Law instructor.
He’s completely out of his depth, except as a sock puppet for others, and they’re stumped now.
Oh yeah, engaged like a parking brake, pretty much useless.
BINGO!!! THAT’S THE QUESTION I WANTED TO FORWARD TO THE REPUBLICANS...
Nobody is just sitting down and LOOKING at what is going on. The Assad regime is SHIA. ... the opposition is SUNNI ... and guess what ISIS/ISIL/DAESH or whatever configuration of those murdering bastards are.... IT’S SUNNI!!!! hahahahahahahaha.. So we’re giving weapons that end up with Sunnis, who then forward them to ISIS/ISIL... awesome!
hahahahahhaaha...
Our dear leader, the past Sec/State and current State department are then HELPING Iran.. (primarily SHIA.)..huh? for money and because of the Iranian influence in the White Hut..... AND helping the Sunni on another day for money etc.... huh?
That’s why they can’t explain what they’re doing. hahahahaha... they don’t KNOW what they’re doing.
Oh my Gawd it would be so funny if so many millions of people aren’t going to die because of these grifters, crooks and morons...
The radio newscast I heard in the car a couple of hours ago said that Obama “was visibly irritated” by the questions.
I read the book and agreed with 100% of your post!
Obama missed Clint in “Magnum Force”!
“A man’s got to know his limitations.” .
I don’t know what is funny about millions of people dying, that said, You have made an excellent point.
