MSNBC's “Morning Joe” hosted a pity party for President Obama on Wednesday. Discussing public opinion of President Obama amidst his trials as President, liberal Watergate journalistic “legend” Carl Bernstein won the pity prize, asserted that Obama inherited a bigger mess than any other president since the 1930s. “Very few presidents have come into office inheriting what President Obama has taken on,” Bernstein opined on Wednesday's “Morning Joe.” “You'd have to go back, I think, to the thirties to really have a comparable situation,” Bernstein continued.
