Democrats Privately Calling Obama 'Detached,' 'Flat Footed,' 'Incompetent'

Daniel Halper May 25, 2014 10:04 AM

CNN's John King reports that Democrats are privately calling President Obama "detached," "flat footed," and "incompetent."

"Forget for a moment that Republican outrage," said King on his CNN show this morning. "More and more Democrats in key 2014 races are calling for the president to get a spine, they say, and fire his Veterans Affairs secretary. And what more and more Democrats are saying privately is scathing, calling the president and his team detached, flat footed, even incompetent.

"Maggie Haberman," said King turning to a panelist, "that's what strikes me, what democrats are saying privately in the wakes of the healthcare.gov problems, they see a president who doesn't want to take command, doesn't want to act fast. Raising the competence question. Some Democrats, who believe in government, [are saying] this White House doesn't appear to have its hand on the lever."

Haberman of Politico agreed, cited more examples, and added: "All of this adds up to somebody who just doesn't seem at all involved."

Inexperienced, doesn’t know how to govern or manage. Lazy, because Obama has never had to fight or struggle for money. Arrogant, so he won’t learn the job. Ideological, an idealist, unchallenged, arrogant and inexperienced. That’s like giving a loaded revolver a to a toddler in a crowded room.

Uboma is using a passive aggressive strategy to destroy the country that he and Michelle hate.

Obviously they are setting the stage for the competent in her own mind Hitlery.

See, they are breaking the ties because as they see it, in the coming Clinton candidancy, she must cut the “support” of Obama role, steering her own course. Meanwhile, The IWON, if he supports her election, he tacitly under cuts his own legacy.

It’s a ploy to get reelected in 2014...”Oh, I didn’t realize Obama was incompetent,” says the (D) running for reelection. “You were right all along, and I’ll fix it, but you must reelect me so I can use my experience to derail this guy...”

The MSM is putting out these stories as cover for (D)’s in 2014.

Trust me, they LOVE Obama and will do nothing to impede the agenda.

Well Obama is smart in way: not firing him is probably the only way to keep Shinseki from talking. The same goes for Holder also.

Only because they need to change the subject away from "Malicious", "Racist", and "In the Pay of Islamic Powers" before the election.

“Flat footed”? I think of him as America’s “arch” enemy.

It’s stunning to think his very first managerial experience on his resume is his current job as president of the US.

"Stunning" just doesn't begin to describe it. Who would ever imagine a nobody without any credentials, skills or experience of any sort would run for POTUS much less win. How is it even possible for a person could have that much hubris? Was it a put-up job from the beginning by the NWO or communists? Unfortunately, it says as much or more about the sorry state of the nation than it does about Obastard to have elected this sorry cretin.

If the Dems start voicing this publicly, (like from the floor of the Senate or House) and perhaps propose impeachment, then I might be impressed. Until then, it means nothing. Just talk.

Does not matter because conservatives have better things to do than vote. (4 million of them)

You know, I really thought that a lot of Democrats supported Obama publicly but privately grave concerns were being shared.

...this tells me that’s never been the case, they’re just realizing who this guy is, how incompetent he really is. And we have these people running the country!!!!!!

I knew they were dumb but this takes dumb down to another level.

You think? With the elections of 2014 looming, they are getting very, very worried.

With God's grace, may their worries be well justified.

Yet they will call Hillary Clinton brilliant if she runs for president.
