Zakaria Oozes: ‘Cool’ ‘Fireman’ Obama Used Speech ‘to Douse’ Donald Trump’s ‘Flames'

In the latest analogy put forth by a member of the liberal media to praise President Obama, CNN’s Fareed Zakaria opined on Monday’s CNN Tonight that the President used his speech to the nation on Sunday to come across as the “cool” “fireman” who will “douse” the “flames” started by Donald Trump.

Additionally, Zakaria hailed the speech as “vintage Obama” as he conducted “an adult conversation” with the American people about ISIS and forced them to accept his ISIS strategy since “not a lot of people have come up with an alternative.”

[Cheerio]

Zakaria was set up by host Don Lemon asking him for his thoughts on the President’s speech and that the belief among Americans “that the President need[ed] to come out to address...San Bernardino, Paris, and on and on.” Specifically, he wanted to know from the Fareed Zakaria GPS host if:

[C]onsidering what Donald Trump has said, what did you think about the President's speech last night? Did he do anything to sort of negate what Donald Trump is saying to make the American people feel better? What did you think of the speech?

Smiling with glee, Zakaria exclaimed that “in some ways, it was vintage Obama” because “the way he views it, people like Donald Trump are playing with fire and he is the fireman.”

No serious person cares what Obama reads off the teleprompter.

Claiming that what Obama says has any significance — only makes Zakaria look like a ‘Rat shill.

I agree with Fareed that the speech certainly was vintage Obama — pointless, narcissistic, misinformed, idiotic, condescending and utterly delusional. And irritating.

[joshua c]

Obama is the arsonist and is enjoying the flames.

Fireman as in — Fahrenheit 451

[Buckeye McFrog]

The only reason that speech was not a huge disaster for the Dems is that nobody was watching.

[Noumenon]

I was watching the Ninja Blender channel. More interesting and informative.

[fatnotlazy]

Zakaria is an Obama worshiper. Only he and the rest of the Obama kool aid drinkers think Obama showed leadership Sunday. In their minds Obama can do no wrong.

[envisio]

Drivel from an Obama fangirl, just like one of Justy the Beaver’s 12 year old fangirls.
He could have strangled two kittens live on air and this idiot would have praised him.

Everything he said contradicted all conservative viewpoints, therefore it was an ‘adult conversation’.
Oh no, thats not condescending at all. (roll eyes)

[AU72]

More like “Fireman Bill”.

[Zarro]

As in “he’s hosing us”.

Actually, after seeing obuma kicking and screaming on his way to whatever that was the other night getting the words pried out of his mouth, Trump was busy tweeting and that alone sent obuma to the deepest, darkest, dampest part of the bowels of the White House, but when Trump came out with his comments on Muslims, that nailed the door to the damp, dusky room he put obuma in shut....

It really doesn't matter what the press does or says, we now know them to be the worst liars and commies around, so their words to Real Americans are not listened to, and they can threaten and they can scream and they can do all sorts of things, it is just showing us how dumb they really are...they are so stupid in their actions...

When you tell your child no, and immediately they throw themselves on the floor kicking and screaming, or they throw stuff ( I never allowed that) or they yell or slam their bedroom door or whatever, this is what these people are doing...how is that working out for them? Not changing my mind, nor is it changing anyone else’s mind, and it's increasing Trumps supporter base....so scream on, slam your doors, pound those keys to write the ridiculous things your writing...we won't forget, remember that!!!

Hussein is a "fireman" only in the Fahrenheit 451 sense.

I was watching the Panthers game then that idiot showed up to pledge his support for all things islam while vowing to disarm Americans... making it easier for moozlems to kill us.
I immediately turned the TV to Graveyard Carz because that is an expensive TV and I didn’t want to go all Elvis Presley on it.

[dinoparty]

This shows the exact problem with what Trump did. It provided the perfect excuse for the media to NOT talk about Obama’s horrid speech and what it stood for. (And before I get scolded for not “recognizing” that the media will not talk about Obama in that way anyway ... they in fact WERE in the hours between his speech and Trump’s comments ... because they had no choice.) I think its time for us all to put aside our gratification (I have it to) caused by Trump’s laughing in the face of the left and the establishment wusses, and realize that we need a Cruz to take us into the general election.

[Paladin2]

You WAY beat me - like a stick ;-)

[tumblindice]

We’re seven years away from Dubya, so Barry “The Buck Stops Anywhere But Here” Obama must blame the next president for his failures.

[canuck_conservative]

only makes Zakaria look like a ‘Rat shill

And he's one of the worst.

CNN loves to promote him as some sort of brilliant political analyst - plus he's a minority! - but the truth is he's just another boot-licking idiot making apologies for Obama's total incompetence.

Can't change the channel fast enough.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Obama could threaten this guy’s family ...and he’d still worship him.
