Bill Maher’s Panel Rips Obama: “Not A Leader,” “Sucking Up To The People He Should Be Fighting”
by Glenn Davis
This panel wasn’t composed entirely of people generally sympathetic to Obama – Republican strategist Susan Del Percio made an appearance, and radio host Michael Smerconish, though he voted for Obama in 2008, exclusively voted for Republican presidential candidates prior to that election. That, though, didn’t mean Obama got off any easier than he did when MSNBC’s talking heads put down his Afghanistan speech, with Del Percio saying he’s “not a leader” and Maher lamenting that Obama’s golf outing with John Boehner served as an allegory of sorts: the president was “sucking up to the people he should be fighting.”
Smerconish, in fact, was the kindest to Obama of anyone on the panel, saying “he inherited a disaster, and that perhaps he just wasn’t as liberal as people thought he was – indeed, he voted for him for exactly that reason.
And The New York Times‘ David Carr did say he thinks Obama will win re-election next year, but not through any great virtues of his own: rather, it’s because the Republican race resembles a “tallest leprechaun contest.”
Carr also offered this…unique take on Obama’s Afghanistan plan:
“The pullout in Afghanistan reminds me a little bit of the pullout I promised the mother of my children.”
