A wise man once said, “Tis better to keep your mouth shut lest they think you a fool than open it and remove all doubt!! Keep talking Bama!!
Let’s be perfectly candid here. America said he was “smart” because he was a black guy who didn’t sound like Al Sharpton.
In its obsession to deal with its racial issues, America is always very, very eager to give minorities not just the benefit of the doubt, but, a huge boost. If Obama had been white, no none would have noticed.
Sorry to be so blunt, but, that’s the truth.
An interesting metaphor, considering that an optimal strategy for exiting a maze is to always keep to the left (or right).... ("Exiting the maze" is a common competition in college robotics classes.)
But of course, that strategy is optimal because the underlying assumption is that the "mouse" in the maze has no prior information about the best way out -- it's just given a starting point and has to stumble its way through, and just reacting when it reaches a wall.
That's an amazingly accurate description of what Obama seems to be doing....
I said from the moment that I heard him speak in Boston at lurch’s convention... he is dumber than a box of rocks.

when did he ever look smart?
Obama, like fellow Illinoisian Adlai Stevenson, is discovering that just because the press declares you “cerebral” doesn’t make it so. In this case, the Emperor has no Brain.
Actually, I think the pivot on healthcare was pretty deft. He has a bipartisan meeting.
Then he unilaterally claims to have incorporated some Republican ideas and demands a vote. He’s close to a victory.
He figured out a way to pretend bipartisanship while acting in a completely non-bipartisan way.
Health care is not in a hole because he’s stupid. It’s in a hole because a lot of smart people want to do evil things like socializing (technically fascizing) medicine. And a lot of regular people see it for the evil it is. But Obama has managed to push this recognizable evil uphill despite massive public opposition in a democracy. He is near victory.
He isn’t stupid. He’s evil.
I find one of the most depressing things about Americans is that some believe this guy is smart. Subtract the Marxist gobbledygook and he sounds like Gomer Pyle to my ears.
Obama’s ability to solve problems is like a hamster on the wheel.
By putting his name on the bill, maybe he thinks he can take the heat off Congress come November.
