Geee Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 American Spectator:Worse Than CarterBy R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. on 8.19.10 @ 6:09AMWASHINGTON -- It is becoming apparent for all to see, that a man who made his name as a community organizer does not have the skills to be President of these United States. Maybe he could develop the requisite skills as a governor. Possibly, he could develop such skills were he to sit in the Senate for a couple of terms. Yet there are delicate sensitivities, the ability to listen, to stick by your guns, occasionally to remain reticent. These are the fundamentals of a leader, and President Barack Obama has demonstrated that he lacks all of them, most notably reticence. I now think it is clear even to Official Washington that President Obama is the worst president of modern times. President Jimmy Carter is redeemed.The other night at a White House dinner solemnizing the opening of Ramadan he leaped right in to endorse the building a mosque at Ground Zero. He -- a man who has shown no religious fervor during his time in the White House -- let out a ringing defense of religious liberty and tolerance. Of a sudden, he was at the center of a national controversy that was growing. It put me in mind of his inability to defuse the controversy over healthcare. Any sensible president would have relented, as opposition to healthcare grew to the majority position. He would have settled for some sort of compromise, but not the community-organizer-turned-president. He wanted it all. He lunged on and created among the electorate a row over national healthcare that divided the nation, and put some of us in mind of a civil war that continues to rage. What is more, he imperiled his party's margins in both houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AceRimmer Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Tyrell is only saying out loud what we knew in 2008. Obambi IS worse than Jimmy Carter, and like his predecessor, will be a 1-term disaster. My only question is, who will the GOP bring forth as the next Ronald Reagan to clean up the mess this clown has made locally, nationally, and internationally?
