David Remnick, an Obama biographer and the editor of the New Yorker, said this morning on national TV that President Obama is disappointed in the world:
(Remnick on Morning Joe)
"The profile [of President Obama] that I published in the New Yorker was somebody that eerily, eerily seemed to be claiming himself--it was a sense of not giving up, but of deep frustration--that was the profile that I published in the New Yorker. Somebody frustrated and disappointed," said Remnick, who has proven to be deeply sympathetic to this president.
"And that's what's frustrating to me sometimes about Obama is that the world seems to disappoint him," he continued to laughter from others on the TV set. "Republicans disappoint him, Bashar al-Assad disappoints him, Putin as well. And the fighting spirit sometimes is lacking in the performative aspects of the presidency."
But that hasn't kept Remnick from souring on Obama. "Do I think that at the end of eight years this will go down as a terrible presidency? I don't. You do. I don't. I think an enormous amount has been achieved."

The poor baby.
Will The Obamasiah find the compassion in his heart to forgive us for not measuring up to his high expectations?
That is also a common problem with libs. The think they are very smart and can’t understand why the rest of the world doesn’t.
I'm disappointed in this interview/article for not tell me what the h*** has been "achieved".
I take it the irony eludes him???
Because they see through the lies to the incompetent fool that he is?
He did more damage than Carter,
possibly even worse than FDR.
Somehow, utopia continues to evade them. ;)
“Obama is tied with Mr Peanut for the 2nd worst presidency in the last 100 years.”
Soetoro is affirmative action on steroids. This loser has done nothing with his life except loaf, smoke dope, hang out with commies and homosexuals, rabble rouse, and let sympathetic white leftists write papers for him and cover for him.
He is not qualified to run a 7-Eleven, let alone a country.
“President Obama is disappointed in the world”
Spoken as a true intersteller alien: Klaatu Barada Nikto to the world from this extraterrestial being.
It’s all about Barry.
The world disappoints HIM?????????? The malignant communist asshat should be in prison...and waterboarded to find out who he really is.
The man is a one person CF.
Yes, even when their tactics are successful, somehow they get dystopia instead of utopia (e.g., Detroit, Soviet Russia, Cuba, etc.)
A narcissist stunned that the world will not conform itself to his preconceived notions.
Gee, never saw THAT one coming! /sarc
The left put this guy forth because they knew they could advance their agenda behind the shield of white guilt.
Oh da poor widdow he-she muslim can’t find any fwends to pway wif.
Ugh
> Obama is tied with Mr Peanut for the 2nd worst presidency in the last 100 years.
The worst is Wilson.
He’s not finished yet.
I do tend to agree with this evaluation. What the lefty psychologists who perpetuated the faux self-esteem movement never accounted for was that children from a young age, must have the experience of real accomplishment(s) and real failure(s), if they are to be able to discern what they can contribute to society and when they need to “let the ball go” to someone better than themselves for the whole team to achieve.
Real accomplishment and real failure feed and grow the imagination and make a person better. All this generally must happen when they are in their formative years. If it doesn’t ...we get a whole population that is angry/frustrated and doesn’t know how to achieve anything, let alone real greatness. This, this is 0bama who doesn’t know how to play well with other people, instead he relies on his phone and his pen. This is his whole “leading from behind,” because he doesn’t know how to lead a team or coach a team. And to his advantage, neither do any of his other sycophants. So this is where we get liberal bullies from: Pelosi (vote before finding out what’s in it), Lois Lerner, Eric Holder and a whole host of regime counterparts that work together like the grinding of teeth.
