Scarborough: Obama ‘Run-of-the-Mill Politician’

President Barack Obama has turned into a disaster with his wild attacks against Republicans, says MSNBC commentator Joe Scarborough. “For many admirers of President Barack Obama, these past few weeks have been painful to watch,” the former Republican congressman from Florida writes on Politico.

“The president seems unfocused. His message sounds jumbled. His party is desperate. Rather than campaigning on two years of accomplishments, Obama and his staff are swinging wildly at windmills.”

Scarborough cites White House attacks against House Minority Leader John Boehner, former President George W. Bush and conservative talk show host Glenn Beck as examples.

“Two years ago, Obama played the role of inspired political prophet,” Scarborough writes. “But two years later, followers of that grandiose dream have awakened to a grim reality: that their transcendent leader is beginning to look like a run-of-the-mill politician.”
