Morning Joe remains the home of the overwhelming ratio of liberal to conservative guests. Even so, in recent weeks a narrative unflattering to Barack Obama has emerged around the table: Obama doesn't like his job. He doesn't particularly like people and is in the wrong line of work.
An even more damning appraisal was offered today: Obama doesn't think he has failed America. He thinks America has failed him. Or as Jon Meacham encapsulated the concept, Obama believes "the country is not commensurate with his gifts."

Other than an overwheliming ability to self-aggrandize, what “gifts” might those be?

Other than the overwhelming willingness and constant need to self-aggrandize, what “gifts” might those be?

Obama believes "the country is not commensurate with his gifts."
A country commensurate with his "gifts" would be Zimbabwe or Haiti.

What gifts? All I see is a lazy guy with an over inflated ego who has a HUGE chip on his shoulder, that lies every time he opens his mouth.

yes, i am waiting for the great intellect to show up. we know his powers of persuasion have dissipated, even on his side of the aisle. and as for the vision thing, seems like the old leftie vision to me.

Criticism it may be, but the overall tone of the discussion was one of reverent appeasement. They have yet to cross the line into reality: that he is an incompetent President and they made a mistake in voting for him.

If we don’t get rid of this disaster, regardless of who the gop nominee is, we are in deep deep deep crappola.

Surprising criticism on Morning Joe: Obama doesn’t think he’s failed America. He thinks America has failed him. Proof that even a broken calendar is right every 28 years.

In his final days Hitler often said that Germany was unworthy of his greatness. As The Third Reich burned he said that since the German people failed to live up to his expectations they deserved to be annihilated.
Fascist minds think alike.
