Karl Rove: Obama?s checked out - Kevin Cirilli - POLITICO.com

Karl Rove said Thursday that President Barack Obama is “disengaged and distant” and is paying the price for it this week as his administration is engulfed in three controversies.

“He is a disengaged and distant president,” Rove said on Fox News, as he sounded off on the Department of Justice subpoenas of Associated Press phone records.

“…It is a bit appalling. I can’t imagine the Attorney General and the Department of Justice would not have given the Office of General Counsel inside the White House a head’s up they were about ready to take this very broad step of asking for the phone records of 100 journalists and editors at The AP. I just can’t believe that would happen.”

Obama is folding like a deck of cards.

Rove is an astute judge of character even if the mainstream media is reluctant to offer the same personality assessments they heaped on poor Tricky Dick. Rove said that Obama will continue to be prickly and self pitying. It sounds about right.

Noonan makes some good points as well...

The president, as usual, acts as if all of this is totally unconnected to him. He's shocked, it's unacceptable, he'll get to the bottom of it. He read about it in the papers, just like you.

But he is not unconnected, he is not a bystander. This is his administration. Those are his executive agencies. He runs the IRS and the Justice Department.

A president sets a mood, a tone. He establishes an atmosphere. If he is arrogant, arrogance spreads. If he is to too partisan, too disrespecting of political adversaries, that spreads too. Presidents always undo themselves and then blame it on the third guy in the last row in the sleepy agency across town.

The guy with his finger on the nuclear football and the only person who can instruct the Military to "stand down" is just a benign character but Karl Rove is dangerous. So much for left wing logic

Rove is irrelevant and what he thinks is no longer meaningful.

Why are you bothering to bring him up?
