Scarborough Writes Requiem for Obama: 'He Just Doesn't Have It in Him'

Is it over for Obama? Joe Scarborough seems to think so. Here's what Scarborough had to say on today's "Morning Joe":

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Yesterday, way too late in the afternoon, I did an hour on "Super Tuesday" [MSNBC's weekly Election 2008 special] and was interviewing A.B. Stoddard, journalist of "The Hill," and I asked her about Barack Obama, was he going to step forward? And she gave a great answer, and she said what a lot of people are not saying right now, she said, "you know what, Joe? He just doesn't have it in him."

Obama was gone before he started.
There is no room for him in the WH - never was - and my tagline suggests that you look elsewhere for the reasons behind his running.

the grooming of the clinton return continues unabated ...

So does Joe have the final say on candidates?

I thought Obama was closing on Hillary in Iowa?

Obama can't be too gone....it's not like he's an idiot with a show on MSNBC.

LOL! B Hussein is playing his role in the crime syndicate machinery. He and the rest of them provide the colorful foilage from which Hillary Rodham Chameleon emerges.

i watched part of the debates, I didn’t think he had it in him. Hillary seems to have perfected talking out of both sides of her mouth and denying she just said something she just said. It’s cool Dennis admitted seeing a UFO at Shirley M.’s house.
Chrissy knows that immigration is gonna be the issue, surprised me. First time I watched him in ten years or more. other than that UFOs and Hilary’s lying seemed about all that interested him. All in all it was pretty painless watching the post debate show for a few minutes.

Maybe it's this scandal rumor that's taken the starch out of his campaign.

That’s what I thought too because I followed that thread yesterday. The LATimes has the “goods” on somebody, and the author of that article you referenced seems to say the media are giving us hints (by their coverage) of who it is.

Tammy Bruce has stated Obama is a stealth candidate - that he is there to basically get more funding for Hitlary, in a sneaky way. She says when he drops out of the race, he will give all his campaign cash to Hitlery.

This guy has always been an empty suit and anyone with any sense saw that right away. Making a big deal of not wearing the flag pin, not standing at attention during the National Anthem. And this recent thing with the gays - he makes a statement saying he wants to have a dialog with people but will not go on any FNC programs. An empty and phony suit.

Flipping channels during commercials, I caught Obama responding to the ‘experience’ question. He was fumbling and made reference to his legislative experience.

It was obvious that he had little experience to run on. But, neither does Edwards nor HClinton [with her supposed 35 years of Bill’s experience]. In 04, John Kerry ran on a few months in Vietnam, Christmas in Cambodia and 19 years of doing little except introducing a few resolutions in the Senate.

Obama is the Hollyweird version of what a candidate should look like. But unfortunately just like most Hollyweird products, this one is all glitz with no substance.

Occasionally you can hear a Dem candidate make a statement about domestic or foreign matters that no matter what screwball leftist conclusion they derive from it, sounds like maybe they've at least studied the matter somewhat.

I've never heard anything from Obama that didn't come off as a soundbite intended to appease all the hardcore, leftist Dem kooks of which there are millions.

Hitlary has the goods on him and he's backing off as a candidate.If any Hillary bashing comes out on the Dems side from anyone here on out,I'd be completely surprised...he'll get rewarded down the road I'm sure someway,somehow....

Scarborough is just making sure he has access to Clinton as the campaign progresses.

He’s become quite the political slut the last couple of years when you think about it.
