Quite a good read...Thanks
A great line and truth:
“This is halfwittedness raised to the level of sublimity. No wonder they gave him the Nobel.”
And this: “.....Another characteristic of stupidity is that it is neverending. Once it starts rolling, it continues onward until it at last finds a cliff to go over.
Back to Cocteau, who had a lot to say about the subject: “The problem with the modern world is that stupidity has begun to think.”...................
I never though O was that smart. Just an adolescent with smart alec retorts.
The excerpt seems to be saying that everyone (including conservatives) have overestimated obama’s prowess. However, for us conservatives, this isn’t too bad of a mistake. It’s actually good to overestimate your foes because it prepares you for the worst case scenario.
But from obama’s perspective, he seems to delight in everyone overestimating him. I would encourage him to continue doing this because his hubris can lead to his downfall.
I’d love to hear Rush read this on his show.
He being facetious in his opening barrage.
If you pull up the listing of the committee who manages the Nobel Peace Prize, and look over their resumes....most are all professors who have a political connection to liberal political parties in the host nation. My guess is that they all have some relation or communications with other professors in Europe, and the scripted winner of the award is known months of ahead of time...like the winner of a WWE-wrestling match.
I have yet to see/hear any evidence that Obama is anything more than average intelligence. If he were a white male, he would have attended the University of Hawaii, and maybe have gotten into retail or insurance sales upon graduation. No one would know who he was today.
I never thought he was particularly smart or even clever. He’s just a ferocious ideologue with a sociopathic personality and a magnified sense of self that let’s him do and say things that rational people wouldn’t even consider. This may look like a plan , but it’s not.
However, the people behind him -such as Bill Ayres - are smart and crafty, in addition to being ruthless ideologues, so from that point of view, yes, there is a plan and Obama is doing whatever he’s told to do as long as it supports his view of himself.
I’m wondering if that 57 states thing came from reading the catsup bottle at lunch before the speech.
Where’s the like button for this comment?
J.R. Dunn covers this beautifully (and much more) in the "rest of the story".....
Rush would have a lot of fun discussing this article.
Here's another:
Great article!
You mean “Ketchup,” don’t you? :)
