One of the nation’s best radio talk show hosts, Hugh Hewitt, interviewed Joe Scarborough, the host of one of the best political shows on television. According to Mr. Scarborough
This is a president that does go out of his way to show that he’s not paying attention to what anybody says. He’s going to do exactly what he wants to do, and he’s going to be stubborn about it. He is politically, he is either politically tone deaf or he just doesn’t give a damn. And I tend to believe based on everything I’ve heard from people who work inside the White House, and we’ve got a lot of friends there, and based on my friends who are senior Democratic senators, this president has checked out… He wants to be the next, I hear it time and time again from his close political allies. This man wants to be an ex-president.
So the president — with crises breaking out across the globe, the economy still staggering, and unrest and despair in America rising — seems to have grown bored with the job. This is on one level an astonishing thing; on the other, it has the ring of truth. I say that in part because Mr. Scarborough is speaking to Democrats, not simply Republicans, on this matter. His sources are excellent. Yet one also sees Obama’s indifference in how he conducts himself, as well as stories leaked by the White House about his “restlessness.”
What could possibility explain this attitude? It may be that Mr. Obama was drawn to the job not for the right reasons but because he viewed the presidency as a new mountain to climb, a prize to win, as a way to feed his unusually large ego (even for a politician). It may also be that Mr. Obama, with his presidency crumbling, is like a petulant child who wants to pick up his marbles and leave. He was fine serving as president when he was adored and well liked; now that things are going south he appears to have emotionally “checked out,” to use Scarborough’s phrase.
The problem with this is that Mr. Obama is disengaging (a) after having done extraordinary damage to America and (b) at a moment when the world is convulsing because of the void left by Obama’s (and therefore America’s) diffidence and passivity. An increasingly insouciant commander-in-chief is not what’s needed at this particular time, given the multiplying threats and increasing disorder in the world.
It’s very much beginning to look at if Barack Obama saw the presidency as primarily a way to satisfy his narcissism. What’s happened instead is the presidency is breaking him, even as he is breaking the nation.
Resign!
As it becomes ever-more-difficult for the rabid supporters of Clown Prince nobama to deny that he is an anti-American reprobate, they are beginning to criticize the fool. This does not remove their complicity in creating him and their complicity in his attempted destruction of Free America. Their treason is noted and will never be forgotten. Justice will find all.
Obama came into office with two overarching goals. First, to visit the nihilistic destruction on the US and its allies dreamed of by “Pop” Davis and which Little Stevie Dunham was weaned on. And second, to complete the radical left’s Long March to complete control.
Those ‘rats who are sweating the ‘14 and ‘16 elections and who want Obama to ease off can forget it. In his mind, they are expendable in the effort to secure the second goal as above. The Chicago commies are perfectly happy to let the GOP be swept into office in response to amnesty, etc, knowing that the GOP has NEVER reversed any leftist advance. They are totally confident that, having left their myrmidons populating the bureaucracy, the courts, the press, having corrupted the electoral process, having bought all the crony ‘capitalists’ and having admitted millions of reliable leftist voters, they will achieve control again - this time permanently - after a brief interlude of feckless GOPe administration. That a few ‘rat senators and a couple dozen ‘rat representatives lose their jobs is just a small price to pay to reify the eschaton.
The debacle of the Obama Administration in the summer of 2014 is why this mess has to seriously unnerve Hillary Clinton (who did serve in the Obama Administration and has to run on that record in 2015) and Elizabeth Warren (who increasingly wants to be a Presidential candidate and is a known hard Leftist).
Read it again. He’s saying that Joe thinks his show is the best not the writer.
obama has never had to deal with criticism. In his mind, he’s had all the answers and, until he was president, his ideas have never been challenged. Of course he can’t wait for it to be over. He’s looking forward to the high-paying speaking engagements filled with agreeable students and former political and business cronies. Has he learned anything? Absolutely not! He’s above it all, still thinking he has all the answers.
Many of whom will be played for chumps again in 2016. The continuation of sending messages to the world.
Scarborough is a former congressman from the 1st District in Florida.

In the cocoon of the teachers’ lounge, leftwing doctrine sounds intellectually superior to all others including Constitutional Conservatism.
But in the real world, leftism always fails - economically, morally & culturally. ALWAYS.
Yet leftists simply fail to grasp the reality their religion fails.
I forced myself to continue even after reading...
“...interviewed Joe Scarborough, the host of one of the best political shows on television.”
I think you’ve got it. Avoidance rather than boredom.
Obama is a restless traitor and wants to be free of the job of destroying this Republic..
WHO CARES?...
People keep saying Obama is “clueless” for vacationing “while the world burns,” etc.
Obama is sending a message around the world with his golfing, feasting, and dancing the night away. He’s CELEBRATING the crucifixions, rapes, beheadings, and slaughter of Christians in Syria and Iraq. He WANTS to be seen celebrating while these atrocities are taking place.
Don’t you remember? In 2008, it was decreed that “skinny,” in reference to Obama, was racist.
GOOD!
Break him even HARDER.
I have prayed and wished that Obama is returning to Washington, DC to resign as POTUS and hand the job over to “Moron/Buffoon, Joe Biden!!! That will not happen.....unless the insane Obama feels his resignation will cause chaos and revolt among the American people. I put nothing past Obama!!! He is a dedicated “Enemy of the United States of America”!!! A worthless human being, along with his Democrat riff-raff Party and his most beloved MUslim Brotherhood Muslim terrorist brothers!!!
In addition to all the personality flaws mentioned in the article, Obama is extremely lazy.
Obama will never resign. he will have to be drug, kicking and screaming, from the white house.
He won’t resign simply because he will no longer have the free vacations and perks the presidency gives him.
Once he is out of office, he will be of no use to those who manipulate him now; he will be cast aside like a dirty, holey sock.
And you can have 'Joe for President!'
To be fair, it is a long and steep jump from dope smoking community organizer to cocaine snorting CIC.
