Democrats Privately Calling Obama 'Detached,' 'Flat Footed,' 'Incompetent'

Daniel Halper May 25, 2014 10:04 AM

CNN's John King reports that Democrats are privately calling President Obama "detached," "flat footed," and "incompetent."

"Forget for a moment that Republican outrage," said King on his CNN show this morning. "More and more Democrats in key 2014 races are calling for the president to get a spine, they say, and fire his Veterans Affairs secretary. And what more and more Democrats are saying privately is scathing, calling the president and his team detached, flat footed, even incompetent.

"Maggie Haberman," said King turning to a panelist, "that's what strikes me, what democrats are saying privately in the wakes of the healthcare.gov problems, they see a president who doesn't want to take command, doesn't want to act fast. Raising the competence question. Some Democrats, who believe in government, [are saying] this White House doesn't appear to have its hand on the lever."

Haberman of Politico agreed, cited more examples, and added: "All of this adds up to somebody who just doesn't seem at all involved."

I was watching a DVD of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Le Coq d’Or a few days ago and the lazy King Dodon (yes, like Dodo) is a nice representation of Obama. Of course, the model was Nicholas II.

Contratulations? Uh...let’s see who they field for their next candidate. Not a chance they learned from their mistake because in their minds they didn’t make a mistake, at least they tried.

Pivoting to someone more competent, less detached and in a pants suit.

Pray America wakes up

What the Demonic-Rats are really thinking is, Obama is going to destroy us in the November elections.

What about people who voted for him twice?

They're still blaming Bush.

Trust me, I know of what I speak. An alumni chat room I frequent still blames Bush. Obama can do no wrong, it must be their way to assuage their white privilege guilt.

Yesterday, there was a thread on evil, and one brought up Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Based on my understanding of American history, and conversations with those that lived during WWII, I merely mentioned that had Truman not used those bombs, he would have been impeached.

That sent a few libs over the edge: "you Republicans! All you ever talk about is impeachment!" lol

They made him an offer he couldn’t refuse: Fame, fortune, Reggie ... just read the teleprompter and walk around looking cool. The narcissist took the offer.

Obama was too stupid to know that one day he would get thrown under the bus. Democrats have always been the slave masters. The modern day Racist Democrat Communists saw obama as the perfect idiot/n##### to be used for their purposes.

You think? With the elections of 2014 looming, they are getting very, very worried.

Obama is unique among presidents, in that, he had no managerial or executive experience of any kind, before being elected president. It’s stunning to think his very first managerial experience on his resume is his current job as president of the US.

This is a brilliant, poignant, and blatantly obvious point, that SHOULD have been mainstream news worthy in his first campaign. I knew, we here at FR knew, and the media LIED him into office.

He is truly one of the laziest presidents this country has ever had. Entire swaths of the official White House schedule regularly show up empty. He reportedly spends most days barricaded in his private office watching ESPN. He literally has to be dragged to any meetings. He loves to travel and play golf, that’s about it. If he has to give a speech at the other end of the trip, it’s a necessary evil to pay for it.

...And all of this is actually a good thing.

Imagine what he would have done if he WASN’T lazy?!?

Looks like a preview of the dem play book for the upcoming elections to me....to distance themselves from a failed presidency and pretend that they were not (and still are), in perfect lockstep with him, from beginning to end.

Dem politics as usual, with the corrupt media doing the prep work to help democrats, as usual.

“Some Democrats, who BELIEVE in government, [are saying] this White House doesn’t appear to have its hand on the lever.”

Sounds like that old “FAITH” thingy.

I guess they really do have a religion and serve a higher power.

C'mon, they're just p!$$ed because he failed to implement single-payer and concentration camps for patriots.

He has managed to destroy much else, including the military.

"... there is nothing they can do about it now."

Yes, there is.
