Eleanor Clift: Obama Lacks 'Feel' for Politics
NewsBusters ^ | November 22, 2010 | P.J. Gladnick

Eleanor Clint doesn't exactly say that President Barack Obama is completely clueless about politics but she comes pretty close to it in her latest Newsweek column. The lack of a basic ability to control the political agenda in Washington is a prospect that makes a committed liberal like Clift somewhat less than happy:

Obama’s storied political career took him from the relative obscurity of the Illinois State Legislature to the presidency in such a short time that he didn’t get much of a feel for the nitty-gritty politicking that consumes so much of today’s partisan bickering. He didn’t have the benefit of getting beaten badly at the state level, like Clinton was in Arkansas, and having to learn how to reinvent himself.

Maybe he should contact the TSA for some pointers.

Perhaps they will send him over to the TSA. I’m sure they will give him a “feel”.

Eleanor, it's not the "fast rise" that doomed him, it's HIM that doomed him...

“...and having to learn how to reinvent himself.”

The clueless left ... they don’t understand this is why so many people are turned off to them ... we don’t want an invented persona! Give us an authentic human being.

So does Eleanor Clift. She'd be a bag lady somewhere if the MSM didn't have a soft spot for her. No one else does.

As for the left eating it's own, it can afford to. Nov 2nd has changed NOTHING so far.

Eleanor is one of those rare people who are more liberal than Helen Thomas. She might even be as physically ugly tho I guess that is not her fault.

. . .

Unless someone in his inner circle takes him aside and has quiet chat with him, that’s why I think he’ll run again in 2012. He believes in his own infallibility.

Obama doesn’t know anything about Americans, he believes they are represented by Chicago and the other big cities.

Just what the good old USA needs, more ‘nitty-gritty politicking’ from a person who feeds on such? No, what Obama lacks is heartfelt patriotism for the USA. His problem is working for the goal of one world order against old fashioned USA independence.
