R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr.: Obama Worst President Ever

R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., in a piece in the Washington Times says President Obama is the worst president ever. Well, I knew that and many, if not most conservatives know it, but Tyrell put's it in much better language than I ever could.
From the Washington Times and R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr.: It is becoming apparent for all to see that a man who made his name as a community organizer does not have the skills to be president of these United States. Maybe he could develop the requisite skills as a governor. Possibly he could develop such skills were he to sit in the Senate for a couple of terms. Yet there are delicate sensitivities, the ability to listen, to stick by your guns, occasionally to remain reticent. These are the fundamentals of a leader, and President Obama has demonstrated that he lacks all of them, most notably reticence. I think it is clear even to official Washington that Mr. Obama is the worst president of modern times. President Jimmy Carter is redeemed....
Mr. Obama represents the leadership of a sterile elite. His weird lectures play at the University of Chicago or in the communities he has organized in Chicago but not among the mainstream of the American electorate. He has brought them together, and they are against this idiocy. As I said in this space two weeks ago, he represents the leadership of the ruling class. It is not the leadership of the consensus of the American people. Only the most extreme voices in this debate are speaking intolerantly about Islam and its right to build a mosque. Most of the American people are siding with the dread Sarah Palin, who was quick to say, "Mr. President, should they or should they not build a mosque steps away from where the radicals killed 3,000 people? Please tell us your position. We all know that they have a right to do it, but should they? And no, this isn't above your pay grade."
Yet it is. It is above the pay grade of a community organizer. That is what our president is. Increasingly, it is clear that the Democrats brought down on the country a community organizer as president. Maybe in the future they will consider experience a qualification for the presidency. Possibly, the age of charisma is behind us. Possibly,
Mr. Obama even lacks that dubious quality.

Couldn't have said it better myself. (and no, I could not have said it better)
