James Carville to President Obama: Try crack pipe

Democratic strategist James Carville said Monday in light of President Barack Obama’s declining poll numbers, maybe he should take a page from an infamous Canadian mayor.
“I think the best thing he can do is take a toke on the mayor of Toronto’s crack pipe, because his numbers are about 48,” Carville joked on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” referring to Rob Ford, who has admitted smoking crack.
On a more serious note, Carville said in some ways, the falling poll numbers are overblown, and Obama’s record speaks for itself.
“I think we can stop putting the nails in the coffin here. We can admit that there’s some real, deep, fundamental problems with this president. But I think we’re throwing the dirt here too soon,” Carville said. “The deficit is dropping as a percentage of GDP faster than any time since World War II. He saved the auto industry. Health care costs are flattening better than any time in the last 20 years. Teenage pregnancy is at an all-time low.”
Carville said if the administration can get the health care exchanges working at the end of November, and that’s a big if, they could get things back on track.
“I don’t think that the rollout has been a disaster. It’s been another joke,” Carville said. “I’m hoping, but I have no idea how this thing is going to work on Nov. 30, but they got a lot riding on it.”
Carville said he doesn’t blame Obama for the problems in Washington, pointing in part to Republicans who have moved far to the right in recent years.
“Obama’s problem, I think, is he’s a man in politics that doesn’t like politics,” Carville said.

Teen pregnancy, really? And why no mention of how he stopped the rise of the oceans?

“Obama’s problem, I think, is he’s a man in politics that doesn’t like politics,” Carville said.
Obama's problem, I think, is he's a man in America that doesn't like America, or American's or the American system of government, or Christians.
I think mine is a much better summation of the Obama situation.
As far as Obama smoking crack, he has already admitted to chronic drug use including cocain, so hitting a crack pipe would be to him like eating breakfast. No big deal at all to him and his choom gang.
This is the guy the Liberals felt was the best and brightest, the most qualified guy in the country to lead the world. What does that say about Democrats that Obama is their leader? He represents the best Democrats have to offer? And people voted for him? Lord help us.

I'm sure even Carville knows how stupid this sounds.
The problems in Washington are because Republicans want to honor the Constitution?
And Obama's a guy who doesn't like politics, even though he kinda ran for President...............twice??
These people are insane, and they get away with their insanity every day of the year......

It's funny that Carville would mention an "accomplishment" in an area that I can't recall 0bama ever addressing. This tells me 2 things: 1) the president hasn't accomplished any of his own objectives, at least not to the point where they can be considered successful, and 2) they're giving him credit for something he had little or nothing to do with (again).

We can take these one by one.

Even the Obama friendly fact check calls BS on this one.

He saved the auto industry.

Now Carville is just getting mental.
Health care costs are flattening better than any time in the last 20 years.

Teenage pregnancy is at an all-time low.
The downward trend started long before O.

Of course, O may take credit for this. The thought of the future he is creating is probably turning a lot of people off.
