Journalist Mary Katharine Ham reacted Friday to President Obama’s interview with MSNBC last night, telling Fox News his excuses for Obamacare’s flaws proves he is “narrating the presidency, not actually holding the office of the presidency.”
Ham spoke with Fox’s Bill Hemmer and the Washington Examiner’s Byron York about Obama’s justification for his healthcare law’s stumbles. “It’s not so much my personal management style or particular issues around White House organization,” he claimed. “We have these big agencies — some of which are outdated, some of which are not designed properly.”
Let me first say that I agree with the president that the federal bureaucracy is an obstacle for the government doing things well,” Ham said, “and that is one of the reasons that many people like myself were skeptical about them being able to undertake this and do it well.”
“But second, here he is again sort of narrating the presidency, not actually holding the office of president,” she continued. “Presumably he’s in charge of these things and could have made a difference. In this case, he says this is a problem that he knew about and will be solved sometime in the future, absolving himself and his administration of all the problems he’s caused in the meantime.”(continued)

There are so many questions about who Obama really is. I hope some day the truth will come out as to the performance of the media in vetting this character. He is not qualified for managing a Baskins Robbins, much less the country.
Obama likes to “Be” President. He doesn’t like to “Do” President!
You betcha! I’ll tolerate tolerate Juan just to see the lovely MKH.
Can you imagine barry the first actually running an ice cream shop?
The freezer would be wind powered.
The employees would not speak English.
He would delegate the day to day operations to fanatical weight loss nuts.
And he would play lots of golf. I guess that would remain the same.
Narrative ?? The US has been governed by the imperial Teleprompter for the last 5 years. The people to fear are the background hacks feeding the dialog into the teleprompter in chief.
I like that. But this is just the Limbaugh theorem. Basically, the big O is just trying to look busy and relevant without looking responsible.
“HOW THE FORCES BEHIND OBAMA ARE ABLE TO EFFECT HIS AGENDA WHILE HE’S IS GOLFING, PARTYING, AND TRAVELING”
This is and has been my thoughts all along. In fact, I think he is doing a job exactly as he planned. I don’t believe he is intelligent enough to do it so someone else is running the country and he is the front man.
You should post that in its own thread.
“I don’t believe he is intelligent enough to do it so someone else is running the country and he is the front man.”
Most, if not all, was and is coming from Hillary.
What Zippo has been doing is setting Hillary up for 2016.
In 1995 Bill Ayers brought BO into the Clintons inner circle as a toady for Clinton’s 1996 reelection.
The Clintons were stirring the racial pot once again and needed the community organizers to do it.
The Chinese military was smuggling in full auto weapons for the LA gangs and the Clintons were once again planning race riots like 1992. The rioting was supposed to spread through the country.
More than likely that is what Ron Brown got scared of.
Hillary is running her campaign on “The Third Way”.
To be successful she needs to be able to say the left’s way and the right’s way are both failures, we need A Third Way.
Monica Crowley from Fox Business.
In my opinion, this is VITAL VIEWING because it clearly supports what you’ve stated.
I think this is a very good video. Thanks for mentioning it to me. Well worth the time it takes to watch it.
This all comes down to the fact that all he CAN do is talk. He has no other experience or talents or skills, regardless of what Valerie and his other sycophants say. He doesn’t even really understand what his administration is doing. He projects the big picture — “socialized medicine: good,” for instance — but has no ability to foresee or contemplate the unintended consequences of his administration’s policies and actions. Disastrous for us domestically, tragic for us and the rest of the word internationally. Even the Russians and French see more clearly than he does. Very embarrassing and very scary. Our country is being humiliated and destroyed by this man’s hubris.
I don’t quite agree with your thoughts on this. I think what we have in power now is far above and beyond the shysters from Arkansas.
I think Bill and Hill are in it for their own personal gain, Obama’s crew are in it for the down fall of America.
You don’t think the Clintons want the downfall of America so it can be rebuilt into a perfect Utopian society they created?
With capitalism on the right and communism on the left the “Third Way” in the middle is National Socialism, a unity of business and government.
The Clintons started their “Third Way” campaign as far back as 1998 or 1999.
Don’t believe me, just sit back and watch as Hillary is presented as a moderate, a unifier of the two sides, a great compromiser, a middle of the roader to the extremist on both sides.
She’s espousing the Limbaugh Principle without even being aware of it.
But while the man himself is laughable, the strategy is not. It has proven to be very effective. Despite his full-frontal attack against the country, his personal popularity has remained high. Granted, a lot of this has to do with media propaganda, but his popularity didn't diminish until Obamacare kicked in.
Why doesn't Obama hire any minorities? He always seems to choose nerdy whitebread, white boys. Something going on there.
I can see that, but she needs more curves. I'll take Pam from "The Office," for five-hundred.
The dead eyes of a sociopath. Tell me I’m wrong.
That’s a powerful video. On the mark. Deserves widest dissemination.
