There are Freepers here who make me look like an idiot, as well as engineers, lawyers, and business people I've worked with for years. No joke. People who can read full pages of law in a couple seconds, engineer complex problems off the top of their head in a phone call, and whose math I can't even begin to grasp. Heck, I can't even understand the symbol set, and I have taken graduate level match classes. Keeps me humble. Very humble.
And don't even let me get started about the theologians I know besides to say one's sermons are based on his translations of the original Greek and Aramaic. He speaks and reads 5 other languages, too.
Then there's the depth of historical knowledge here at Free Republic. I know the basics. Freepers KNOW this stuff!
All that said, I would literally bet my life that I'm smarter than obastard. By a LOT.
obastard, you're not even in the same universe as these people, you arrogant narcissistic piece of cr@p!
I tried to watch a bit of Obummer’s speech. I could not stand the condescending tone for more than a minute. Also, what the hell was with the orange makeup he was wearing?
Orange make-up? I didn’t see it, I can’t stand watching him. I know he’s going to lie and I don’t want to kick my tv in.
Yeah but remember his background.
Community organizer in the southside Chicago housing projects.
Walk through those projects and ask people what they think about the “debt ceiling.” “Say whaaa??”
This is how Obama and Alinsky and Hillary and all the progressives view the American people as a whole - a bunch of dysfunctional dumbasses who need the government to take their of their every need.
What Kristol is noticing is how the intellectual “vanguard” addresses the “lumpenproletariat” American citizenry.

Obama has known that he is not going to get re-elected for some time now.
It doesn’t matter to him.
What DOES matter to him is staying in office until his “lame duck” phase of his presidency arrives.
If you thought that the Clintons scorched some earth on their exit from the white house....
YOU AINT SEEN NOTHIN YET!
Here is food for thought on the damage he HAS done....and this is just one component.... take real unemployment, multiply it by average income.... and then multiply it by the multiplier. Then multiply that by two and a half years.
Then lets look at the private sector capital investment... most who have gone fishing due to the Obama uncertainty.
Or, due to the uncertainty lets look at what everyone GLOBALLY is paying for commodities due to American uncertainty and global uncertainty Obama has modified....
He already has. We were coming back from the economic aftermath of those attacks when the housing bubble, caused by Obama's Democrat buddies, burst. That was compounded by the original TARP legislation, which was dwarfed by Obamacare and the Stimulus legislation.
Nailed it.
I cringe at the thought that so many United States voters fell for an obvious con job. I mean, how ignorant and stupid could they get?
“This man does two things in every speech. Talks down to the audience, and expects the audience to believe what he says.”
Because he is speaking to those who voted for him. They believe every word he says because it is he that is saying it. THAT should be much more scary!
The most condescending part of that disaster of a speech.
I'm worried about what amnesties he's going to grant. Like all of Gitmo.
Bills that the Congress HAS already racked up? Yeah Like Obamacare where he made about 500,000 speeches telling us Congress had better pass it so people wont be dying in the streets ,so pass it so you can find out whats in it.Well Congress did and now we have to Raise the Debt ceiling so we can spend trillions more to implement it.
But dont worry your premiums will go down and so will the Deficit. Well I received my renewal notice and there is a 2000 dollar INCREASE because of Obamacare,and in 2013 when Obamacare kicks in totally my HSA becomes Illegal. Thank You Lying sack of Crap Marxist Obama
That is the first thing that crosses my mind these days everytime I hear him speak.
Which seems to argue against Kristol's point.
How about: “BOTH!”?
“We don’t seem to be as ignorant as Obama thinks we are of the term or concept of a debt ceiling. But the president assumes we’ve never bothered our pretty little heads about such a thing.”
I don’t know. The folks he’s talking to elected him. He must have a low opinion of them considering all his lies they believed.
