Mary Katharine Ham: Obama ‘narrating the presidency, not actually holding the office’ [VIDEO]

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 “We have these big agencies — some of which are outdated, some of which are not designed properly.”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)

Sometimes, to remember a time when we had a real President I listen to this song:

These people who say that Obama is not really in charge and that none of this is really his doing are trying to absolve him of blame if you ask me

I think Plouffe and Obama are in group therapy together-—for multiple personality disorders.

Maybe George Soros is off limits.

Can't we arrange for Obama's puppeteer Soros to have a little "accident"?

Soros is pure evil. However, the only hope is to take the power away from Washington: Article V.
