Presidential historian Jon Meacham did his best on Morning Joe this morning to lower the bar for President Obama's speech today commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. "The country has put an enormous amount of expectation on him . . . since he first came on the stage in 2004 . . . we sometimes have-often have--unrealistic expectations of the office," empathized Meacham.
Nice try. But wasn't it Barack Obama himself who raised expectations to absurd heights? Does this phrase ring a bell, Mr. Meacham?: "I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when . . the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."

Poor baby Obama: Americans have unrealistic expectations for him. Ping to Today show list.
“the soft bigotry of low expectations” ... affirmative action in practice.
MLK: “I have a Dream”
Today: “I have an EBT card”
A man is only as good as his word. But when it came to a Democrat keeping his word no one here had any false hopes.
50 years from now, after the great revolution by the Constitution Party, which gave America back to people, historians will remember two things.
The first was how 3 Presidents changed the face of America for the worse, Wilson, Johnson and Obama.
The second was how a housewife from Wasilla, Alaska, singlehandedly destroyed the Republican party and from the ashes rose a Phoenix called the Constitution Party.
Alternate Titles for Odinga:
"I Have A Scheme"
"This Is All A Bad Dream"
"No 'I' in 'Team' - but there's an 'I' in 'MINE!'
Those of us with above room temp IQ had expectations which exactly matched the performance of the Obamadork/felon.
We thought he was an idiot.
He is.
We thought he had no morals.
He doesn’t.
We thought he had no real education.
He doesn’t.
We judged him an inept quota baby.
He is.
The man/boy is sleaze.
Period.
When you are elected because you promise to deliver on things that only GOD controls... GOD will ensure that you fail... obama is epic fail!
Funny/sad thing is that a bitter idiot goof was judged by the color of his skin to get to the white house, not judged by the content of his character.
And he will be applauded by his mindless followers when he tries to be MLK at the Lincoln Memorial.
barack obama - the affirmative action president. don’t keep your expectations as high as you did for a white president, there’s no way he can meet them.
But wait! Isn’t this the same Jon Meacham who edited Newsweek? That big time News magazine that sold for two quarters and five dimes? I’m betting that is some history he would like to rewrite.
