Gov. Haley Barbour: “The President Is One Of The Greatest Politicians In The History Of The United States”
Republican Governor Haley Barbour appeared on Meet The Press and admitted to David Gregory something that will most certainly come back to haunt him: he actually thinks President Obama could be the greatest politician in history. Even if such a declaration was meant to suggest that Obama is extremely calculating and won’t speak out on an issue unless it is politically beneficial, the sound bite from a potential Republican opponent like Barbour is pretty remarkable.
In discussing the ongoing budget battle in Wisconsin, and the attempt to end certain collective bargaining rights for public employee unions, Barbour suggested Obama is “quiet because he understands most Americans know this has to be done” and does not want to be on the losing side of this political battle. Barbour’s honest assessment of Obama’s political capabilities may provide the clearest hint yet why no Republican has officially announced their intention to run for President.
