Kirsten Powers: "It Is Safe To Say Obama Has Been A Huge Disappointment"
RealClearPolitics ^ | October 3, 2014 | RealClearPolitics

Posted on 10/03/2014 8:47:18 AM PDT by i88schwartz

HUGH HEWITT, HOST: Kirsten, as a Democrat and as a veteran of the Clinton administration, would you rank for me from most competent to least competent the three Democrats: Obama, Clinton and Carter. Who was the worst of those three on competence issues?

KIRSTEN POWERS: Clinton was the most competent, obviously. And then, I don't -- you know, Carter, I was a child, so I didn't live through that. So I don't know if I have as much as a sense of that and I also have a little affection for him because of his human rights work...

It is safe to say that Obama has been a huge disappointment, if that's what you're getting at. I really don’t think there’s any comparison between him and Bill Clinton. I don't think we're even talking about the same universe there.

“Of the 3 choies(Carter, Clinton, Obama), that was a no-brainer.”

Or you might say: “in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king!”

She’s a saved liberal, however. She accepted Christ. That sort of thing makes you question all kinds of things you used to believe. I see that with Beckel on Fox. It’s getting harder and harder for him to be a plantation liberal any more.

He actually had the temerity to scold ‘moderate muslims’ to do something about their eff’d up religion.

No more staunch gun control advocate than a liberal who’s been mugged.

Just Curious, what has Kristen Powers accomplished and what makes her an expert on anything?

Kirsten, as a born again Christian, how you remain a Democrat and identify with those who love aborting innocent children?

You have turned into a major disappointment.

The worst part of Clinton's administration was Hillary.

HillaryCare would have been a lot worse than ObamaCare.

With HillCare, against the law to go to a doctor of choice and pay with own money.

I like the liberal Beckel just because he has a surprisingly good insight into the black soul of Islam.

Obama bad; Clinton Good.

Sounds like Hillary’s campaign speech.

Beckel is still going to look at American-style capitalism and believe the little guy is getting screwed. What he’s going to remain blind to is the degree to which democrats - more than even republicans - have worked to ensure that was possible.

All government does is erect barriers to entry. Their record at opening new markets is, and always will be, appalling.

That works for the market leaders. They use regulation to stifle innovation. They use more of it to expand the businesses of those that have long since stopped innovating.

Banning the incandescent bulb is just one example. Can’t beat it, so you ban it in the name of energy savings. Ethanol, and the list goes on.

But Beckel sees the little guy getting screwed, and the companies huge money donations to both sides of the aisle being the reason. He’s right about that, but that’s a bipartisan issue, in that both parties are all about getting elected, cashing in, and retiring rich.

Clinton’s only competency was in his accepting some Republican proposals - like welfare reform.

At the time, Clinton was the world’s #1 liar.

O has exceeded him by a factor of 10 - logarithmically that is......and in Clinton’s days, I would have thought that impossible......

Compared to O, Clinton was fairly honest! At times!

Kirsten is just upset because Obola didn’t swing left enough.

She is easy on the eyes, but dumb as a stump. Intelligence is not her biggest asset.

Bill Clinton did. At least according to Paula Jones.

Well, of the three, he was. Without a doubt.

He had Newt to thank for any success, he was dragged to the right kicking and screaming.
