Pannetta says Obama has "given up"

[Sean Renaud]

Here is the MSNBC interview.

Given up

I don't think he's given up, I think he's just flat lazy. He wants all of the perks of the presidency without having to do the work. He's treating his office just as he's treated everything else, trying to lead from behind.

Being a leader, being a president is damned hard work. You have to glad-hand, back-slap, coerce, threaten, compromise, jaw-bone, make friends and alliances even if you don't agree with them all the time. Obama has shown NO interest in any of the dirty little mechanics of the office. He's made no effort to reach out to his own party let alone the opposition.

His MO seems to be, "I tell you what I want and you just go do it." Sorry Mr. president, neither DC nor the real world work like that. And it's no wonder that things so often get botched up, but he is quick to affix the blame elsewhere, isn't he?

He's playing at being president in the manner he imagines it should be, just as he is trying to re-make the nation, and the world, as he thinks it should be. And instead of rolling up his sleeves and working to make it happen, when he meets with opposition he schedules a tee time.

So basically your argument is that Obama has proven to be above it all? I don't agree. I think he's just been screwed by Republicans who for unstated reasons hate him more than they love the country but I like your argument. That Obama really is the golden standard.

The observed facts are that Republicans as whole are really that damned racist but like all Democrats I'm doing a lot of mental gymnastics to come up with another reason why you've been so fucking horrible.

If you truly believe that if this administration and all of it policies, statements and actions would have been acceptable to Republicans if Obama's fathers skin coloration gene had not been dominant, you are nuts.

I believe that this administrations polices, statements and actions were if not outright supported at least quietly allowed to move forward when the president was a white man named Bush.

Fuck!

I have to admit that to be a valid point.

I think Republicans were so happy with "anybody but Clinton" that it SEEMED like some sort of difference.

Mediscare drugs was, in fact, the last straw to cripple the future.

You keep trying to blame the Republicans for Obama's fuckups.

You have to learn to live with the fact that he's fucked up the mid east and N Africa beyond recovery.
He refuses to arm the Kurds, the Iraqi army is in shambles. He bombs empty buildings

Our enconomy is a wreck, real unemployment up around 11%. Killing coal jobs, a porous border.....it goes on and on.

And I read here that his accomplishments are....killing Osama and a health care plan...which isn't over yet.

 

[Ishmael]

Oh Christ on a crutch. Is that bastard now breaking out the race card?

That's the last straw, on ignore he goes. NEVER...........EVER give any weight or consideration to the utterances of the intellectually bankrupt.

More than that, the point that these are life long democrat loyalists making these statements is flying right over the stupid son of a bitches head. So is the fact that Obama is NOT welcomed in to campaign for ANY democrat that is running all but unopposed in the coming elections.

Democrats make the statements and what does the stupid bastard reply with? "It's the REPUBLICANS!" "It's RACISM!" Just how fucking pathetic can you possibly get?

Except none of that is remotely true.

The race card is a valid one and honestly one the left underplays.

Even the moonbat Democrats on this board are having a hard time defending him, without looking completely stupid.

The racie card is not working much anymore. Obama is a fuckup with or without the race card.

I see, all of Obama's problems are a result of him being Black.
And the Democrats underplay this fact........

And, of course, ALL of those democrats criticizing Obama are racist too. The logic or the dialectic is unavoidable.

Good point, anyone who criticizes Obama is a racist, and there are many Dems beginning to criticize him now.

Not really, but I can see where someone like you would really really WANT to believe that.

It's okay RDS, you're not alone, many still support Obama.
