Assessing President Obama's legacy, the panelists on today's Morning Joe seemed in competition to outdo each other with misplaced praise.
Historian David Maraniss led off, calling Obama "the Jackie Robinson of American electoral politics."
Next up was Joe Scarborough, who upped the ante by placing Obama in the same category as Martin Luther King, Jr.
Batting clean up, Walter Isaacson hit one out of the hyperbole park, claiming that "Obama will go down as one of the great presidents we have ever had."

I think he “misspoke” in an alcoholic stupor. He meant to say “...one of the greatest frauds of all time”.
Went you talk of Jackie Robinson greatness AS A BASEBALL PLAYER to a baseball fan.. his be black becomes irrelevant....his greatness as a player is what relevant to a true fan of the game
The fact that Obama and his fans made a point of his race for all eight year( in fact use it as their main tool to get things through) instead of making us all forget his race from the first day in office... just shows you what a weak president he was
True racism makes a person race a physical handicap...
I have a true physical handicap..and when others for get i have it I've overcome it.
So if you can makes other forget your race that the first step to overcome racism and when race and handicap are two concepts that don't even correlate you have truly overcome
The left is just the opposite it demands your remember a person's race every day ..demand you consider it a handicap.. in fact demand you consider it the greatest handicap ever...use that status to get your way.. it is the lefts parasitic power they gain on the back of racist/handicap equivalency is why they will never give up, never let it be overcome
I think...in three months Obama will be on the Bowery in New York City, with his soul brother Bowe Bergdahl, cleaning car windshelds for $1.00, while wife, Michelle, hands them the cleaning towels!!!
Jackie Robinson stats wise is a 175-300 ranked best player stats wise
It’s good but he’s known for who he was more than how he played
Ty Cobb is a top ten player
Mickey Mantle a top 7-20 player
I love ya but these days who cares
MLK was a socialist
And the GOP sux
Good analogy
Smarter than goofy Jean Claude
Wonder if Obama communed with his opponents heads on ice in the bath like Dr Duvalier did
Communes
That’s what the left wants
The 1789 Paris Commune
A band of radicals if ever there was one
Jackie Robinson, unlike the imposter in chief, inspired all Americans. He, unlike our current phony, broke into a profession with courage, patience and talent.
Jackie Robinson opened the doors for others to follow.
Thanks to Obama, you will NOT see a viable Black presidential candidate in the next generation.
I’m done with Morning Joe, completely. Of course before now, I might surf his show in the AM.
The Five with Beckel Out

LOL he was such a horrible president that the MSM has to prop him up with lies-
Obama to American Left=Magic Negro.
Can’t be criticized or else the PC “racism storm” will be unleashed upon said critic. Gets absolute immunity from the press. Gets to blame his policies failures on a phantom menace, as if he never had anything to do with enacting said policies. The rule of the Pen and Phone provides monarch like powers. It’s magic!! No wonder they think he is the greatest.
And no wonder they are grooming Corey Booker for a run. They want Magic Negro, the sequel!! Doesn’t matter if he is the best qualified candidate or not, they are gearing up to anoint him like they did Clinton and screw the rest of the field, all to get that magic back. And they say we are racists.
One-third right. Obama doesn't even qualify for the job he usurped, so the occupational title was incorrect. As for "great" - definitely not. He's hot even great in the Ivan the Great sense of being competent at brutality or evil, just a pathetic pull-the-legs-off-flies, force-people-to-participate-in-fake-weddings, and leave-crippling-debt-to-our-children form of malignancy. We're saying goodbye to the yapping of a small and immature but vicious puppy, nothing more. One part is right though - we've been had.
I honestly can’t too excited about anything Scarborough does. If it wasn’t for LI and its coverage of his antics I’d probably forget he even exists, in fact.
Most definitely.
We’re here to force you to remember things you’d rather forget ;-)
well...MLK did have two close advisers who were members of the Communist Party so there is that.....
Stanley Levison and Hunter Pitts O’Dell if you’re keeping score

One of the greatest presidents ever? Only if the presidents were William Harry Harrison, Mallard Fillmore, or Jimmy Carter.
Jackie Robinson - dead - would be better than Zero...
A hiding Lady Liberty...I like it...
ConservaTeen said Trump is the best President in his lifetime. (He only had 2, so far Bush 43 and Zero).
