Krauthammer on Obama's 'Trumanesque' run against a 'do-nothing Congress': Obama is no Harry Truman
Topics: Political News and commentariesContrary to what the Washington Post's Colby King claims in this clip, Krauthammer does little more here than recite plain facts:
"[B]arack Obama is no Harry Truman," Krauthammer said. It's not that complicated. Obama is over his head. He is a great orator. He came out of nowhere. He dazzled America. He [has] never run anything. He never actually enacted anything even in the legislature. He hadn't run a state. He hadn't run a city. He hadn't run a business. He is running the biggest enterprise in the world and he has not succeeded. And that is why all of these independents, all of those who believed in a soaring rhetoric, including probably a couple who swooned in the aisles as he spoke in 2008, are now waking up and realizing he is a mortal who is in over his head."As Ed Morrissey points out over at Hot Air, Obama was a backbencher in the Illinois legislature, and he was a backbencher in the half-term he served in the US Senate. King, like other liberals, wants to paint all dissent and disapproval as hate in order to demagogue Obama's political opponents, and as we see at the end, Krauthammer won't let him get away with it.
