Even though Barack Obama left the presidency 99 days ago, MSNBC showed late Thursday night why any criticism of him remains unacceptable.

Bush chief of staff Andy Card suggested that Obama came into office without a distinct set of beliefs to support his decision-making.
When Barack Obama was vacationing recently with Bruce Springsteen , Tom Hanks and Oprah Winfrey aboard a $300 million yacht in Tahiti, one wonders if he ever hummed Springsteen's "All Or Nothin' At All."
