Chuck Todd Laments Obama As 'A President Whose Potential Wasn't Realized'
By Kyle Drennen | November 11, 2014 | 1:29 PM EST

On Tuesday's NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer and Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd began writing Barack Obama's political obituary, but did so in the most sympathetic way possible. Lauer cited a line from Todd's new book on the President: "And you write that in the foreseeable future, quote, 'He [Obama] will be a president whose potential wasn't realized.' He came to Washington promising to bridge the political divide, change the discourse. Has that been his biggest failure?"

Todd replied: "I think when you look at it, that was the great promise of Barack Obama. The guy in 2004 showed up at the convention, he was the one that was going to break this polarization....I think he will admit some day that's his greatest disappointment, and that's what this book's about, sort of the struggles he had to change Washington. Did he go Washington more than he changed it?"

Au contraire, F. Chuck....he's a walking epitome of the Peter Principle.

In fact, his potential wasn't realized going all the way back to the Choom Bus in Hawaii.
