Assessing President Obama's legacy, the panelists on today's Morning Joe seemed in competition to outdo each other with misplaced praise.
Historian David Maraniss led off, calling Obama "the Jackie Robinson of American electoral politics."
Next up was Joe Scarborough, who upped the ante by placing Obama in the same category as Martin Luther King, Jr.
Batting clean up, Walter Isaacson hit one out of the hyperbole park, claiming that "Obama will go down as one of the great presidents we have ever had."

Guaranteed engine-starter ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
I am sickened by Scarborough’s putting Obama—who chose Jeremiah Wright as his personal pastor—in the same class as MLK.

Even Obama and his hagiographers have come up empty for about a month now when asked about his ‘accomplishments.’
Surely a great president would have a list as long as his arm?

Obama’s name won’t go down in the history books but instead his picture will be in the dictionary under the word narcissist.
