Newsmax TV’s Ashley Martella noted that in a recent column Tyrrell pointed to Obama’s massive federal spending package and his plans to raise taxes and cut the military, and asked Tyrrell what that tells him about Obama.
“It tells me that he is the most ill-prepared man to be president of the United States since Lincoln’s vice president Andrew Johnson abruptly became president,” Tyrrell responded.
“And Johnson had the excuse of being an alcoholic.
“Obama simply is a man without any executive experience. He has spent his time as a community organizer or agitator. He has spent some time as a lawyer for the poor.
“And he’s spent a lot of his time daydreaming at the University of Chicago about what Utopia ought to be like. Now he’s planning to bring Utopia down on us and it’s going to very very expensive.”

Of course, the elitists who put these games together always come out unscathed (except for the Hitlers and Mussolinis). It is all the other (you know, the little guy that these Utopia gods claim to try to be helping) that are ruined.
Hayek’s “The Fatal Conceit” is a nice analysis of the hubris, narcissism, and extreme ego behind those who mistakenly believe that THEY are the ones who can finally make it happen.
He should go back to Kenya and be King there.
Oh Hey, isn’t there anyone out there to defend the good name of Andrew Johnson?
He is the worst president because he gave unconditional amnesty to all Confederates on Christmas Day, December 25, 1868?
Somewhere I read that the most corrupt and incompetent administration ever was Ulysses S. Grant’s (I don’t have a source on this...)
I nominate Obama’s administration for this (dis)honor.
To that I say, we've got to give him some time to develop. You ain't seen nothin yet (and you can take that in several ways).
And he cannot find his birth certificate.

Grant was neither corrupt or incompetant, the democrats just tried to protray him that way after he tried to destroy their terrorist army The Klu Klux Klan.
Is it too much to hope for, that Øbama comes to the same end, with one exception, one less Senate vote?
And we don't even know for sure that the man living in the White House really is Barack Obama.
Oh...now that's very interesting, because I was thinking that maybe I read that quote in a history TEXT BOOK my community-college aged son had at the time.
This makes all the sense in the world now.
I still think that TOTUS takes the cr@p cake, though...
Now that we KNOW that LBJ and Hoover were the only ones who could have killed Kennedy, I think hands down LBJ was the worse President in history.

Speaking of senate votes, whatever happened to coleman/franken?
Obama must be giving Millard Filmore a run for his money too as worse president ever.
Truthfully, I suspect that Obama is the designated “fall guy”. I won’t go as far as saying the Republicans threw the election, but given the size of this immense catastrophe, I suspect the Republicans are going to let the Democrats enjoy all the politically short-sighted mischief they have created for 60 years.
Whenever a Republican president would get into office, for decades, he would spend much of his term trying to reverse the disasters he had been left by his Democrat predecessor. The Republicans would be rewarded for this by being turned out of office, and the much healthier economy turned back over to the Democrats to screw up again.
So this time, the Republicans just said, “To heck with this!”, and are letting the Democrats reap as they have sewed, and in spades.
Ironically, and stupidly, the Democrats are game for this as well, because their motto is “It is better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.” And for the next two to four years, they are going to reward the fickle public with its comeuppance, for foolishly believing in the Democrats despite ample evidence of their perfidy.
Because it is the typical Democrat voter who is most going to be punished in this economic catastrophe. Republicans and conservatives are not frivolous in their finances and personal lives. They are much less inclined to gamble on high risk change instead of reliable success.
They will feel a lot of pain in the deal, but a lot less than the air headed “lilies of the field”, who toiled not, neither did they spin, or saved, or gave consideration to the future instead of the whims of that day, relying on government to provide for their needs and lusts.
The Republicans, at least, when returned to power, will not leave the foolish to starve and freeze in the dark, though they have brought it on themselves.
I’d agree
