Time's Halperin Raves: Obama Has Level of 'Sophistication and Skill' That Not One Republican Can Duplicate
It's rare when Chris Matthews is outdone in his praise of Barack Obama but Time's Mark Halperin, on Thursday's Hardball, managed to top the MSNBC host as he delivered a rave review of Barack Obama's performance at the National Prayer Breakfast. After playing a clip of the speech, Matthews merely offered a "That's pretty good" but the Game Change co-author did him one better, going as far to warn any GOP candidate considering a presidential run in 2012 to study the address because it had "a level of sophistication and skill that not one Republican on the field right now can duplicate."
(video, audio and transcript after the jump)
The following exchange was aired on the February 3 edition of MSNBC's Hardball:
(Begin clip)
BARACK OBAMA: And let me tell you, these past two years, they have deepened my faith.
The presidency has a funny way of making a person feel the need to pray. Abe Lincoln said, as many of may know, "I have been driven to my knees many times by the overwhelming conviction that I had no place else to go.
(End clip)
CHRIS MATTHEWS: That's pretty good. Anyway we're back. That was President Obama today at the National Prayer Breakfast, he's talking about his faith. He's also not shying away from a philosophical fight about what government can do to help people, as some Republicans think about running against him. Is President Obama already running himself? Is he off and running? We're joined right now by MSNBC's political analyst Richard Wolffe and Tim magazine's Mark Halperin. Gentlemen, it's great to have both of you. Mark, of course, is an MSNBC political analyst. I want to start with Rich and then go to Mark. Just, I'm - you guys are the experts. What's up here?
RICHARD WOLFFE: Well about this time a year, every year, he does a personal speech. A lot of this stuff is personal He goes to churches and maybe the Sunday before Martin Luther King Day. Obviously this was a prayer breakfast, but he's showing he's fluent in the language of faith. And he's showing that there is some kind of underlying value philosophy through his whole political career. He talked about civil rights, importance of religion there and how inspirational that was for him. But this is about him doing what he finds a very reluctant thing, which is to go personal and public.
MATTHEWS: Well what do you think? Do you think we should have a president explain his religion to people? Should we have a religious test?
WOLFFE: That's what, that's what people expect. No, that's what people expect.
MATTHEWS: Okay let me go to Mark. Are you comfortable with it? Where a president has to, defensively or offensively, talk about what he believes in terms of religion?
MARK HALPERIN: If it's what he believes in and that's what the President does. Anyone who's thinking of running for president against this guy should go watch that speech. It was more than just about faith. As Richard said, it was his philosophy, it was brilliant performance. This guy has game. If you want to add, make a long list - what are all the reasons Barack Obama is favored for being re-elected? Forget the Electoral College, forget the unemployment rate and earnings and all that. That performance has a level of sophistication and skill that not one Republican on the field right now can duplicate.

It's also listed as 'the ability to bullshit and lie without batting an eye, even when you're on record as stating the exact opposite previously'.

what about the so called conservatives such as Steve Hayes. I dropped my subscription to the Weekly Standard because I could not handle Hayes anymore. Every night on FOX News Special Report he has become an apologist for BO on a scale that amazes me that he has not been given his own show on MSNBC. Steve Hayes is not a conservative. Yet he works for a supposed conservative publication and sits as a commentator on a supposed conservative news network.
I know that Hayes and Brit Baer were college roommates, but in this week alone he has uttered the following quotes about his beloved BO. After BO's speech re. Egypt he actually looked into the camera and spoke of "words of wisdom" from BO. Tonight he spoke of the "President's religion" and how he for one likes that the President "speaks of his religion". Before he was called on it for weeks he began every conversation sitting on the panel by saying, "in defense of the President". He has stated how beholding he is to Jay Carney for his help when he first came to Washington.
I love "Newsbusters", but some reason the very liberal Steve Hayes is given a pass.

When members of the media step this far out on a limb for a politician it is disgusting. There is little about B.O. that an objective person would call "sophisticated," certainly not to the point of saying that "no Republican" can measure up to it. Most of the aura around the guy is itself a creation of the media. If B.O. were a Republican, and had the exact same skill set he possesses now, rest assured nobody in the msm would be calling him "sophisticated" or skilled. I never heard a prominent member of the media refer to Ronald Reagan as "sophisticated".
The absurd aspect of the statement is that we know it is all based on politics. The man likes B.O. because he likes his politics, that's what makes him "sophisticated".

As far as Obama's claim to being a Christian...don't think so, and he's no Muslim either, he is a self serving Narcissist who worships himself. Membership in the bigot Jerimiah Wright's church does not in any way confer Christianity anymore than the faux reverends Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton are men of the cloth.

Well observed.
I once compared Obama to a toddler with over-indulgant parents. Imagine an ignorant and thoughtless child, hammering away at the buttons on a control panel that was rigged to heavy machinery and explosives.
You KNOW that sooner or later, the kid is going to either blow something up, wreck something, hurt someone, or a combination of all three. And you know its going to be bad - real bad.
All the parents have to do is pull the kid away from the controls, slap his wrist and say 'No, no, NO! Don't touch those!' But in this case, the parents are the Democrat party and their liberal media. And they're smiling and nodding and clapping their hands, and saying 'Oh, look how clever our little boy is!' And not only that, they are blocking the people with common sense from intervening. Anyone who tries to pull the kid away from the controls before disaster and death strike is shouted down. 'No! Don't stop our clever little boy! You're racist!'
It's only a matter of time before the explosion and the carnage and wreckage with Obama the man-child slapping away ignorantly at the controls with that idiotic grin on his face. He has no idea what he's doing.
All we need is for someone to yank him away from the controls. Prepare well for 2012 - the liberal media is going to fight like demons to keep him at that control panel. What they did after the Tucson shooting will seem tame by comparison. They'll be calling for conservatives and republicans and tea party members to be executed as traitors.
Sound like an exaggeration? Would any of us have believed, after those shootings, that the media would say directly that Palin was guilty? Limbaugh was responsible? They're only going to get worse people - the more they get away with, the more they think they can't be touched.

Reagan was considered an amiable dunce (thank you Clark) during his tenure, and is now revealed as at least a sincere middlebrow/Bill Moyers style intellectual. Will Obama's legacy be the opposite?
Seriously, I have never heard him utter one profound, wise, challenging, original, surprising, stimulating, or otherwise distinctly intelligent comment, ever.
His utter lack of wit is a dead giveaway, although this may be due to his damaged psyche/narcissistic personality disorder. Still, underneath that suave, sophisticated exterior ( recall David Brooks' raptures over the crease in his trousers) lies the heart of a rigid boring left-wing idealogue apparatchik.
