Make. Me. Barf.

Great stuff: A man who knows Obama well speculated a few months ago that this president isn’t in love with the White House. The Post had run an article saying that with his dry intellect, Obama would be happier on the Supreme Court than in the Oval Office. The insider nodded his head. “That’s true,” he said.

Oh, yes, Barry is such a deep thinker. The entire messy process of reality politics is just so beneath him. But SCOTUS? Listen, Davey, Obama was alecturer of Con Law. Alecturer. Do you know what that is? It’s a fill in. He doesn’t have a Ph.D. in anything. He never published a single paper. Nothing. He has the academic record of a student. He has exhibited zero ability to understand the Constitution. He’s not a Living Constitutionalist or an Original Intent guy. He has encouraged the flaunting of Senate rules to achieve a political end.

And the entire point of your article is that he is not very good at politics.

So, like, duh?

Yes, he will be losing the House, and the Senate will be Filibuster City at a minimum. And he will not take it well. He will continue to try to win through denigrating the opposition rather than finding compromise. he is incapable of compromise because he doesn’t understand a systems approach to anything. He’s an agitator by profession.

Accept it. You guy’s f’d up pimping his disqualified ass. And he is going to leave you behind.

I did enjoy this but though: A memorable Obama moment came when he was a young senator listening to a consummate politician, Joe Biden, ramble on as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “Shoot. Me. Now,” wrote Obama to one of his aides.

I can relate. Listening to either of them brings that out in me.
