Morning Joe: Obama Like Jackie Robinson, MLK, 'One of Great Presidents We've Ever Had'
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/18/2017 8:44:23 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

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."

Obama greatest historical achievement as president....was being black....

That is a true statmemt in any context

The problem is “greatest” is not a measurement of how good or bad something else.

He accomplished nothing of significance except getting elected. His true legacy is as the first affirmative action president.

Don't know nearly enough about every man who's served as President to make any blanket statements.But I know more than enough about those who have served *in my lifetime* to make judgments.Of those,Obola is by far the worst...Carter comes in as second worst.Reagan is the best.

I'd call him the Cassius Clay of American politics...worthless,devoid of real talent,cowardly,entitled,willing to believe his own press.

The Truth About the Obama ‘Presidency’ He was not presidential.

We need to understand exactly what is happening. This is big picture stuff. Very Important

What a load of crock. It was Obama who introduced uncertainty into our traditional alliances, including Japan, not Trump.

In particular all of our allies watched in horror and disbelief when Obama abandoned US allies Libya and Egypt , using various ideological politically correct excuses of disagreement on the internal affairs of those nations.Libya was destroyed by NATO, a travesty.

Trump is repairing that damage and DE-emphasizing the Saudi role in Americas international affairs.The Sods have one last chore to do.Look after the refugees of the Levant.

This author of the Associated Press thread article is far from being up to speed on the issues yet.Lets help the AP out:

The EU bent over for Obama, the great Nobel Peace Prize recipient.Obama entered, drank their wine,ate their cheese, denigrated their anti-Muslim crackers,smelled their perfume,breached stuffy protocols, kissed male leaders on the lips, convinced the EU of his moral superiority as Americas first blackish president. They believed their own myth.Japan does not.Japan remembered the utopian fascism of Tojo while Europe all but forgot the utopian-ism of Hitler and Mussolini.

Obama then used Europe to create his Arab Spring, releasing millions of refugees from the Levant, Libya and Africa, all aimed at the heart of Russia,a US betrayal of its allies, Libya and Egypt, an exercise in modern demographic warfare via community organizing.Putin saw Obama coming and seized the Crimea and Eastern Ukraine to prevent Muslim refugees from entering Russia, and aided Syria, and Iran...stopping Obama short for the embarrassing sophomore that he was.

The masses of refugees created by Obama and Clinton streamed into Western Europe, crossing the Mediterranean, sliding into Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, and beyond. Brussels and the EU played their politically correct cards, accepting the demographic warfare fomented by Obama, who even now continues to hoodwink Europe and the EU, assuring them that their world will not fall apart as the Muslim hordes continue to descend on Germany. Europe is losing itself.

Trump is right, Brexit is right. Its a new world. And Shinzo Abe is right.

And we all now see Obama defined as the Utopian liberal fascist that he is, who convinced Europe that he was not just another shuck and jive politician, once again Europe believed in a Utopia, just as they had accepted the Utopias of Hitler and Mussolini. Hoodwinked yet again by an American presidential psychopomp, whose similarities to his European predecessor utopians went completely unnoticed, even when they were complicit in the illegal destruction of Libya , and destroyed the 8th wonder of the world, The Great Man Made River, genocide caused by destroying the water supply of a whole people.You won’t read about that in any liberal progressive rag. The EU should be ashamed of itself.It certainly does not deserve to continue.

If the EU does not take the opportunity afforded by Trump to repudiate Obama, they will become Muslim nations, or become the conquered of Russia. The EU has only a short amount of time to realize its foolishness in the destruction of Libya at the hands of utopian liberal fascism, a whole nation destroyed by the very political correctness which now threatens the destruction of Europe as we know it.

Merkel must go. Lepin must win France. Its all about to begin: the battle for the heart and soul of Europe. Britain is safe,only for the moment.

Brussels is done, but Europe? We shall see.America will yet again attempt to rescue Europe from itself.But there is little enthusiasm for it after what Europe and Obama did to Libya, an act of infamy which will go down in history as one of the most heinous acts ever perpetrated on a third world nation of camel herders by the so called civilized nations of NATO. SHAME!

Obama is running around Europe like a one armed paper hanger as his international grift falls completely apart.Trump and his allies know perfectly well what to do next. The effects of Arab Spring on Europe must be stopped.No more demographic warfare will be allowed.The Saudis will pay for the relocation of the refugees created by Obama, or they will sit by and watch them die. This is the true Obama legacy.

Meanwhile Japan under Shinzo Abe gets it, Europe excluding Britain does not.

The Sheriff is back in town.

He was a “conservative” until he was blackmailed with the dead intern under his desk. He is controlled for the rest of his life now, by the Leftists/Marxists (sodomites). Can’t believe anything he says because the narrative is being controlled by the Marxists (sodomites). Oh, he will mix some truth in occasionally, just to sucker-in anyone who is ignorant.

I am afraid we have a lot of ignorant people in the USA today-—way more than 60 years ago. Now, people actually “think’ males sodomizing other males can be “married”——including that irrational Morning Joe.

Removing Right Reason and virtue (Justice) from our Just Law should be treason and Morning Joe fully realizes that but he is controlled now, so Up is Down, Boys are Girls and Slavery is Freedom.

Exactly.If he was entirely white he'd still be shaking down liquor store owners in Illinois for favorable votes on state legislation.

If historians did any sort of due diligence in their research, they could find in about 30 minutes' time, that he has easily been the worst President of all time.

He has complete disdain for any American institution, and any American cultural legacy. His biggest "accomplishment" has been watering down any sort of American exceptionalism. Our military, our healthcare system--he repeatedly talked down the economy, and certainly despised publicly any successful business. (Who remembers the "you dint build that!" comments?)

Since his first term, he began beating away at law enforcement (The police officer that "acted stupidly.") By the middle of the second term, he stoked the fires that led to numerous riots and outright murders of police officers.

He seems to enjoys basketball, golf, and hanging around with pop culture icons (particularly R&B "musicians" and rappers.) He's governed as he began his public career...a professional agitator and community organizer.

By the way, does anyone remember the liberals that actually defended "community organizing" as sufficient experience to be President? These are the same people who decry Donald Trump as being "inexperienced" and unworthy of office. Liberals are such hypocrites...if not for double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

Three more examples of snowflake whites patronizing a person of color because they’re afraid of being called a racist.

I think there’s little doubt 0bama is the greatest President America’s enemies ever had. Foreign or domestic.

What about Hillary Clintoon? The greatest loser in American Politics, makes Dewey look like a winner.

Hillary's place in history is solely on the basis of who she married.
