Scarborough admits Obama wasn’t ready to be president; sold to us like bag of chips
MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough is waking up to the fact that despite all the hype that accompanied President Barack Obama when he made his 2008 presidential run, he wasn’t ready for primetime.
“Barack Obama has proven over the past five years that he wasn’t ready to be president of the United States,” Scarborough said on his show Tuesday, according to Newsmax. “And he proves it still today.”
Scarborough said Obama “came out of nowhere” as a freshman senator, and “a couple years later, people elected him president of the United States.”
Obama served less than a decade in the Illinois Senate with a less-than-stellar record that included numerous instances of voting “present.”
He followed that distinguished service with less than a full term in the U.S. Senate, also unimpressive. Most of his time there seemed to be spent running for the presidency.
Yet, solely on the basis that “Barack Obama was against the [Iraq] war,” the Democratic Party “went out and sold him like he was a bag of potato chips, they marketed him [and] he becomes president of the United States,” Scarborough said.
To illustrate his point, the TV host challenged guest Donny Deutsch to “name me a major piece of legislation that Barack Obama passed in the United States Senate, that would suggest that he knew how to work in the United States Senate and would be an effective president of the United States.”
Neither Deutsch nor any of Scarborough’s other guests could.
“You have people that come out of nowhere and get in the Senate. They don’t want to be in the Senate. They don’t want to work for the people that hired them. Immediately, they start running for president of the United States a week after they get to the Senate,” Scarborough said, referring not only to Obama but also U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, who Scarborough described Wednesday as a “phony narcissist.”
Scarborough’s comparison of Cruz’s meteoric rise to Obama’s is misplaced.
The president has demonstrated time after time that he tends to take the path of least resistance. When he spoke against the Iraq war, he was among the majority of lawmakers — including many in his own party.
Cruz’s crusade to defund Obamacare is in opposition to his own party leaders. An aide to U.S. Sen. John McCain said that his boss “f**king hates” Cruz, according to The Daily Caller, and The New York Times reported that U.S. Peter King, R-N.Y., called Cruz a “fraud” who promotes “government terrorism.”
Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz described Cruz, a former student, as “off-the-charts brilliant.” Obama has steadfastly refused to release any of his college records.
Prior to being a lawmaker, Obama worked in a law firm and as a community organizer. Cruz actually ran things, directing the Texas Solicitor General’s Office for five years, serving as his state’s first Hispanic solicitor general and the youngest in the United States.
Cruz also served as the director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission, and in the private sector, Cruz led the Morgan, Lewis and Bockius law firm’s U.S. Supreme Court and national appellate litigation practice while a partner there.
But did I mention? Obama was also a community organizer.
“You can go one after another after another,” Scarborough said. “This doesn’t work. The Barack Obama way does not work.”
I agree, but Cruz is not a part of this ilk.
In 2008, GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was more qualified for the presidency. She had successfully run a city and a state. Obama, on the other hand, had only run for office.

McCain is senile and King is just jealous.
And neither one has the balls to do what Cruz is doing.
They just wish they did.
We need people like Cruz who will stand by their principles to the end and honor the commitments they made to the people who elected them.
McCain and King are the old guard.
They've been there forever and never got the job done.
And we should try their way AGAIN? Pffffffffttttt!
They're just sellouts.
Just a couple o' clowns.
I Know he respect you all the Crew.Thank you .
Sad that respect and courtesy are often confused as interchangeable with one another.
No he does not respect us or this country, or the very Constitution he swore to uphold.
If he did, they would be no class, race, gender, religious, political warfare.
He does what he wants when he wants, the hell with laws, the hell with common sense.
Respect for a person who doesn't respect anyone but himself. Sorry, it just isn't going to happen.
After all that he's done to this country, and you want to say to someone to have respect for someone who doesn't have respect to others? I also respect the office of the President, but this person is not a President. He's not even a decent politician. NO, it just isn't going to happen with him. And just so you know, It has nothing to do with his color. It has everything to do with ability to lead, and he's not a leader in any form. He may be able to connect to some of his party , but he'll never, NEVER, be able to do that to others.
It takes a man to stand up and say I've made a mistake, so how would you propose that someone who bends over and bows or is on his knee's , able to stand and say I'm wrong.
I appreciate your response but again, NO i will never respect Him...!!!
