Morning Joe on Mika's Obama Interview: Looks Like 'He Wants to Go Home, Not Taking Control'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/23/2014 7:16:43 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Someday, Barack Obama might make a fine professor somewhere. In the meantime, someone should remind him that he's still President of the United States . . . If President Obama thought he was going to score some easy media points by sitting down for an interview with Mika Brzezinski last Friday, he was badly mistaken. Morning Joe aired the interview today, to bad reviews by its guests.

Dem Donny Deutsch didn't want to say--but said--that Obama looked "checked out," and seemed like he "wants to go home." Mark Halperin observed that Republicans resonate when they say that Obama is not "taking control." Commenting on Obama's long disquisition on the complications of the Syrian situation, Halperin observed: "it's up to the President of the United States to take bold action and address [problems]and not sit and say this is why this is hard, this is why this is hard." It's as if Barack Obama sees himself in the faculty lounge, offering exquisite insights on the problems of the day, rather than in the Oval Office, with the obligation to address them.

We’ve got a Professor—in-Chief, not a President. Ping to Today show list.

What did they expect? They voted for a community organizer with no executive experience, no military experience, no business experience and someone who voted present.

Kenya can have him. He’s already done enough damage here.

Surely Chief Choom-Guy and “former” Pot-Head Barry Soetoro has not returned to the illegal habits of his old Choom days to avoid the reality of his current day job?

“They” may be characterized by their Magic Thinking. So it is not surprising that ‘they’ voted for the magic negro who has always been a fraud, but with democrip magic thinking he can be whatever they wanted. Reality is chipping away at their delusion, but since democrips are lying leftist lieberals at heart, don’t expect them to reject their magic negro.

Maybe he just has more on his mind as he knows that some other shoes are dropping big time....I was thinking about this in light of Klein’s column yesterday in the NY Post about Hillary and Benghazi.... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3171014/posts

Rumor going around that Soros was on a crashed plane in Germany.

Will take awhile to find out if true.

If it is true, will have repercussions for Obama.

Maybe, but what if Drug-Sniffing Dogs made random boardings of Air Force One?

The metaphor “playing defense” assumes he’s on the court. Obama is on the sidelines, smokin’ a fatty and watching while others play the game for him (poorly).

I bet he would suck even as a professor. Maybe golf pro would be more his speed.

There are a great number of lazy, dishonest not-very-bright professors out there....Obama would fit right in.

Obama’s extreme liberal advisers want him to ‘do more’. It might be best for the country that he’s NOT. Obama needs to think some of this stuff through before acting... Look at the mess his liberal elite advisers made of ObamaCare...

I didn’t know Obama ever used the Oval office except as a place to put his feet up between international vacations.

Obama would be one of those “propose the problem to his grad students and never give them credit in the published paper” professors. There would also be the inevitable plagiarism scandal.
