Scarborough: Don't Blame Obama For Foreign Policy Disasters

It was strange. Joe Scarborough had just completed a comprehensive indictment of failed American foreign policy around the globe. But at the very moment when he should have laid those disasters at the feet of the sitting President of the United States, Scarborough came down with a bad case of . . . cold feet.

Scarborough laid out to David Gregory a tour d'horizon of failed American foreign policy from the Middle East, to Iran, to Russia/Ukraine, describing it as "one disaster after another." But perhaps fearful of where the ineluctable logic of his comments was taking him, Scarborough suddenly made nice, saying "of course that is not directed to President Obama." Really? Who's been in the White House for the last six years?

Why did Scarborough suddenly get cold feet? Ping to Today show list.

[Dr. Thorne]

Anyone who thinks Scarborough is anything other than a quisling is an utter fool.

[DoodleDawg]

So then the buck stops where when it comes to foreign policy?

Joe is trying so hard to get into Mika’s pants he says and does things like imitating Alan Alda. I'd call him a RINO but I'm not sure he was ever a Republican any more than Michael Bloomberg or Charlie Crist was, strictly out of convenience.

[skeeter]

And yet they’re still blaming Bush for his foreign policy.

“Joe is trying so hard to get into Mika’s pants”

What is a Scarborough?

I presume it’s a new name for some sort of failed car, correct?

[Dr. Ursus]

A pint of orange flavored vodka for 2.99 will do the trick!

Has anybody noticed that he looks like he fell asleep in a Tanning Salon?

Scarborough: "That's not directed at Obama. Strategists have been warning for a decade we are losing influence in the world".

Really? Obama has held the throne for 6 1/2 years. That's a big chunk of a decade, Joe. And they called Reagan the 'teflon' President. In our race conscious world, nothing sticks to Black.
