During an appearance on Morning Joe, Tuesday, Newsweek editor Tina Brown made an off-hand remark about Barack Obama, conceding that the politician "wasn't ready" to be President. Brown has previously attacked Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives for daring to oppose the Obama

While discussing whether New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will change his mind and run for President, the former New Yorker editor blurted, "Actually, I just hope he doesn't, because in the end, you know, his tremendous misgivings, maybe he is right. I mean, We had this with Obama. He wasn't ready, it turns out, really."

Obama will never be ready to be president of the United States. A communist country - maybe.

because of his upbringing, warped ideology and complete lack of any meaningful experience or achievement not based on affirmative action, zero will never be ready.

the democrat progressives have a delemma on their hands:

they’re discovering that their “intelligent” 2008 president

has turned out to be incompetent and stupid and an anti-semite.

how to get rid of the first black president without being called a “racist”?

It took this liberal idiot this long to realize what most knew from the start.

They've conveniently "figured it out" just in time to be able to now argue that he's had some experience so he's fit for another term, and that his opponent "isn't ready", because of a lack of experience.

"...We had this with Obama. He wasn't ready, it turns out, really."

Ahh...I see how they are going to play it.
'Obama wasn't ready in 2008 [which is why the economy, foreign relations, and in general 'everything that government touches' - is messed up], but NOW he is battle tested and wise and more than ready'...
Yeah, right...
Better try: 'Obama wasn't ready in 2008. He's not ready now. He'll never be ready. The man-child hasn't worked a day in his life, nor achieved anything that wasn't the result of Affirmative Action pass aheads...'

He is a no-account marxist atheist who apparently has a pleasing reading voice and smile. Yippers, get him a job as a news reader on some UHF station...

"Wasn't"?

That implies he is now.

I would disagree with this liberal idiot, Tina Brown.
Obama WAS ready to be President.
The Democratic Party that rolled the dice on him to the
exclusion of all others, including Hillary Clinton, was
MORE than ready for him to be President.
It proved to be a gross miscalculation on BOTH their parts,
because ultimately the American electorate will decide,
including hefty numbers who voted for him in ‘08, that they WON’T make that mistake again.
Come right down to it, and it was even people like CHarles Krauthammer, halway through the ‘08 campaign who were saying
the same thing Brown is saying now: that Obama was not ready to be President, (but that he might, or the country might, be ready in 2012.) Looks like Krauthammer lacked all prescience in ‘08, and Brown even lacks it even now “in hindsight”.

They’re still blaming all of these things on his incompetence when in reality it’s his evil nature that is resulting in all of this.
