# “I don’t know if his grasp of the bill is what it should be.” # “He’s not living in the real world.” # “I want President Obama to be a leader. A leader. And right now, I think he’s confused.” # “I’m worried about Barack Obama losing control of the process.” — Bill O’Reilly, The Early Show, 02-05-09
Appearing on the Early Show this morning, Bill O’Reilly painted a portrait, as seen from the quotes above, of a confused Pres. Obama who is losing control of the economic recovery process. What made the Factor host’s portrayal all the more devastating was that it was done in a tone more in sorrow than in anger, O’Reilly asserting that he was not being ideological and wanted the president to succeed.
Interestingly, host Harry Smith didn’t take issue with anything O’Reilly said–except when his guest suggested that Smith was in the “left-wing politics” wing.

Comrade 0bama: A perfect example of “The Peter Principle” carried to the extreme - he doesn't have a clue and his cabinet are bunch of derelicts.

He doesn't have a clue and his cabinet are bunch of tax-cheat derelicts.

Is he trying to say that a community organizer with no actual experience leading anything is looking like he has no experience leading.. Whoda thunk it?

Recall also, that when announcing the signing of the EO closing Gitmo, he had to ask the lawyer (Greg Craig?) “What am I signing here?” (or something to that effect).

“I want President Obama to be a leader. A leader. And right now, I think he’s confused.” Come on, Mark - I think Bill O'Reilly is stretching it here.
After all, Barry knows where they keep the really good steak and vodka @ the White House, and he knows where the nearest tough 2nd grade audience is...
Now, the other stuff, like fixing the stove-in hull plates on the SS Economy, and leading the free world, well, Bill might have a point. :-)

I think Obama’s many trips to the gym are to defuse his numerous panic attacks. He's in over his head.

Unfortunately for us, a suit and a voice do not a leader make. Are you talking about O'Reilly or O'Bama ... or both?

As someone posted in another recent thread:
This is the first real job Obama has ever had.
He's in over his head. A few days ago he was saying that the economic crisis was worse than he had been lead (as Prez-elect) to believe. [Excuse-ism]
Sorry, Barry, but it's your watch now. Man up. It
is your
pay grade now.

Maybe Barry & Joe could get together weekly with Mo Dowd, the Queen of Snark, and they could write really biting hit pieces on world leaders like Putin and Ahmadinejad!
Yeah! Sleepovers with Joe & Mo at the Oval Office, bunny jammies with booties, hot chocolate, and staying up till 3am, till the adults catch them!

Now hold on there. The O tried to walk into the WH through a window, confusing it for a door. Are you certain he’s mastered the easy stuff so far?

Whoops! Shoulda pinged you to my #18 for your professional opinion. :-)
