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."

"It’s a classic case of a guy rising until he reaches his level of incompetence. Moving from community organizer to politician."

Actually not...
He was incompetent as a clerk in his 5-month private industry job, he was incompetent as a part-time professor, he was incompetent as a State Senator (I know, I lived through it in Illinois), he was incompetent s a US Senator. And he's incompetent as President.

Of course as ideologically extreme as he is, his incompetence is something which is embarrassing to our nation, but has a silver lining.

I believe the editor or executive editor referenced obama as god.....then he said, “We are all socialists now.” They finally got it right. Obama was/is/never will be ready for the presidency.

She probably doesn’t think Obama’s liberal enough or thuggy enough. Trust me, she’s not worried about the things we care about...

I can’t listen to the guy, but he seems to cast a spell over a number of people, so I was chalking his voice up as a positive attribute. Intelligence, wisdom, experience, reverence for God, courage, wit, humor, a personal touch, respect, humility, honor, ... those are all net negatives, so I thought I’d give him his voice tones ... I suppose he’s also in good shape. A lot of free time on his current job that allows him to workout - but I’ll give him credit for being a gym rat... Like I said, man-child.

Every time he says “folks” a little of me dies. That word out of him just makes me insane. Not sure why but it does.
People on here say he’s stupid or evil. I’m w the stupid camp. Have you ever heard one pithy political comment he’s made that will go down through the ages as something to chew over? I don’t know of one.
Every speech is a strawman argument. Every time he’s interrupted in a speech he retorts (too strong a word for what he does) as someone who doesn’t even believe in his own power as President. He sounds as though he’s pleading.
If I was running for President against him every other commercial would have him in front of 5th graders w teleprompters. I can think of nothing else that describes this lightweight to a tee. He’s just a figurehead and can’t even pull that off.

I guess you got a inner gyroscope that causes you to get sea sick when he speaks. Good for you.

I think I'd call him stupid and evil... Evilly stupid, or stupidly evil... And although being stupid can be a bit of a handicap, it's not the end all of things, as long as you can recognize your shortcomings and weaknesses. But Obama takes it to another level. He seems to think that he's intelligent - whereas he's quite the opposite. Another bad mark for the self-esteem teachers of the past couple of decades... Humility is a virtue - particularly when a person with talent and intelligence is humble... But pride when you are a fool is an embarrassment, and a disaster when affected by a leader.

I was thinking today that someone needs to create a photo w zero’s pants below his ass, in the current fashion(someone, anyone, shoot me).
I agree he’s so insipid he doesn’t even realize he had nothing to do with the position he’s attained. God is really unhappy with us to foist this tool on us. Biblical.

AUUUGH! This makes me want to tear my hair out.

After John McCain announced Sarah Palin as his running mate, the media kept hammering the point that Palin didn’t have “enough experience” to run for Veep. After all, McCain might croak at any second, and if she were to become President in the event of his death, well, she just wasn’t ready. Here she was, business owner, former Mayor of Wasilla, former Governor of Alaska, experience on the board of an energy regulatory commission, CinC of the Alaska Air National Guard, a lot of savvy about energy policy, and she wasn’t “ready”. Contrast that experience with that of Obama, on the TOP of the Democrat ticket: college professor, community organizer, State Senator (where he voted “present” on the most controverial issues), and a whopping 143 days as a U.S. Senator, didn’t understand business, never had to meet a payroll, but he was “ready”.

What a bunch of nimrods.

Shes only quoting what Obama said in his First News Conference after he won his Senate seat in Chicago, He himself said when he was asked that he was not going to run for President yet because he was not qualified. These a-holes just ignored that and Now they are saying it

With respect to Governor Palin...it began just after her pick as VP running mate...and rose in fervor and stupidity both from within the mcloser campaign staff and with the able and ready assistance of the msm. It then gained it's final, terrible triumph after the mcloser team lost the election and the Governor returned to her job in Alaska.

They all simply followed and applied alinski's many rules (in particular, Rule 12); to whit:
RULE 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh?
RULE 8: "Keep the pressure on. Never let up." Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

These are the rules followed by the fake news msm organizations, and all loyal dem/lib/prog/pops.

And what is much much worse, other than Governor Palin, it would seem the rino/repubs have not figured out a way to combat these tactics.

In the case of being prepared for the US presidency, the stain loses on two counts: 1) he definitely was not prepared in any way shape or form (painfully evident now, ain't it??), 2) even had the stain been so prepared, he is not constitutionally qualified to hold the office.

A tried and true loser on so many many counts.
