Hillary was right. NYP. On how to run a presidency. Rhetoric v. Hands On.
In a Nevada debate, Obama admitted that he wasn’t a particularly organized person. But that was OK because a president’s core role shouldn’t be organizational but inspirational: “It involves having a vision for where the country needs to go . . . and then being able to mobilize and inspire the American people to get behind that agenda for change.”
Pshaw, responded Hillary Clinton, the president is really a “chief executive officer” who must be “able to manage and run the bureaucracy.”
Barack Obama’s weak and inexperienced governing ability, and pointed castigation of his own supporters who are witnessing their elected one erode and then abandon their core mantra, has underscored his inability to lead the country overall. So who do you call when things are falling apart, you can’t work with your supporters or your opponents, and you don’t know what to do?
“The Phone In The White House.”
Who do you call? Daddy. Obamateurism of the Day. HA. The judgment of a young one.
…even the temper tantrum on Tuesday doesn’t compare to the abdication last night at the White House podium.
“Mr. Clinton had been meeting privately with Mr. Obama before their appearance, in a confab requested by the current president. The reason was “self-explanatory,” Mr. Gibbs conceded, given Mr. Clinton’s experience in navigating a Republican-led Congress.”

From Audacity to Animosity. ”No president has alienated his base the way Obama has.” WSJ.
It wasn’t a compromise, it was a bow.
“Bowing Obama.”

“Oh, I had quite a good time governing,” a smiling Clinton said. “I am happy to be here, I suppose, when the bullets that are fired are unlikely to hit me.”
That’s right. When the tally is counted at the very end, they will Say Loud and Say It Proud. IOTW. “Obama. He’s a number two!”
“Obama. He’s a number two!”
