Mika Brzezinski Objects To Op-Ed Depicting Obama As ‘Orating Your Way Into Janitorial Work’

video
» 37 comments

This morning’s Frank Bruni column on President Obama was not a fave of Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski, who, holding the op-ed in her hand with visible distaste, said she was being “forced” to read it. In the op-ed, from this morning’s New York Times, Bruni describes Obama’s path from “poetry to drudgery,” saying directly to the president, “you got stuck with the mess. That’s your cinching, suffocating, unjust reality. Your campaign had all the romance of history in the making; your presidency has all the drudgery of a toxic cleanup. You orated your way into janitorial work.

Bruni argues the debt crisis seems destined to “taint” Obama’s presidency, no matter the result:

But if the country winds up there, and even if it doesn’t, it’s hard to see how this embarrassing mess doesn’t taint you. There will be questions about whether you put your marker down at the right time, with enough specificity and force. There will be assertions that you didn’t make a persuasive and coherent enough case to voters.

Brzezinski said “the reality is depressing…I don’t think it’s completely fair to hang it all on (President Obama).”

    As if anyone cares what the lib shill Mika thinks. Lady, if your last name where Smith or Rogers, you wouldn’t be there.

    First off, reading the article with a tiny bit of analytical ability would help. The author wasn’t beating up on Obama – not much, anyway. He was bemoaning the fact that Obama slick talked his way into office then had to clean up Bush’s mess.

    In other words, another Blame Bush article. If Obama succeeds, it was because he overcame the Bush mess (genius). If he fails, it’s because it was just too much and it swamped him (victim).

    Of course, Obama boot-licker Mika couldn’t be bothered (or expected, really,) to dig deep enough into it to understand it.

    Pitiful.

    When Republicans are in charge, its all their fault. When Democrats are in charge, its still all Republican’s fault! Forget the fact Bush INHERITED the tech and housing bubble. Forget the fact Bush INHERITED a recession and a war with Islamic extremists that Clinton started.

    Well to be honest, janitorial work is all this big eared bozo is qualified for.  That or the dunk-tank clown at the county fair.

    Mika knows to object because her ” Blackberry ” told her to .

    This Leftist media shrew doesn’t think ANYTHING is Brick Obamo’s fault. I guarantee she’ll leave MSNBC well before the 2012 election so as not to be publicly visible as she sobs into her Corn Flakes the Morning After. I hear there’s a pill for that, which she’s probably taken millions of times before. She should stock up.

    There goes Mika trying to tell Obama how to mop.

    (BTW, the fat end goes on the floor, Barack.)

    Obama telepromptered his way into the WH. We know more about George Washington then we do our incompetent community organizer

    On another note, Mika is clearly not getting enough fiber in her diet…..Joe better watch out in case she unloads on him!

    Here’s a story for you , Miss Meeker .

    “We have been through a mercilessly condensed version of a presidential campaign, lasting only hours, in which Barack Obama ran against his own image, demonstrated himself unworthy of office, and threw away any chance of victory in next year’s contest.
    To start with, we have his failure to deal with the budget in due time, thus allowing the crisis to build up in the first place.  Then we have his walking out of the negotiations after he himself tried to pull a fast one (adding $500 billion — that’s a half-trillion, folks — in taxes at the last minute).  The threats against grandma’s checks.  His petulant and adolescent Friday press conference.  His prolonged weekend sulk, leaving the separate houses of Congress to work their way through the crisis with no input from the White House whatsoever.  His wordless rejection of a better deal than he had coming.  The attempt to crash the Asian markets by personal decree.  And finally the speech which was intended to rally the country behind his vision but wound up as a prolonged plea for Congress and the Tea Parties to stop picking on him.

    I love this. This is the open and honest and therefore lovable, leftist way of swallowing and starting to digest the reality that hits them in the form of very self-disciplined, very rational and very anti elitist ivory towerness, Tea Party thinking and Republican common sense. The “third party” hits home. http://crpa.co/CRPA-Philosophy-General.htm#thirdparty

    Mika, still not over the fact that Bill Clinton did not try to make her. She has so little to offer to this program yet bitched the loudest about her pay. She should feel fortunate the world knew her father and now she has a job by those means.

    The thing about Mika is that she is so dumb that she doesn’t even realize that every time she brings her father on to be interviewed, she reminds every person watching that the only reason she has her job is because of her last name and daddy’s connections.  I guarantee it’s never even occurred to her; she probably doesn’t even realize why she has her job.  Even Luke Russert is smart enough to never mention his father on air.

    If you follow Obummer policies a janitor job will become very desirable. Anything is better than unemployment and soup line. He is absolutely destroying the greatest nation on earth. Redistribute wealth meaning making everyone poor.

    Obama is not qualified to be a janitor! What an insult to all janitors!
    He might be able to clean a toilet but not install a light bulb!!

    Obama complains that he inherited a mess, but didn’t he apply for the job of cleaning up this mess?  He asked and even begged for the job of cleaning up this mess.  He said, no, he swore that he would clean up this mess.  He convinced us that he could clean up this mess and so we hired him to clean up this mess.  Not only has he failed to clean up this mess the mess has gotten worse.  He was wrong and we were wrong about him.  He is not able to fix this mess and we need to start accepting resumes and replace him with someone who can clean up this mess.
