When George W. Bush was President, the Democrats and certain press outlets hammered every little mistake he made as evidence of him being “the dumbest President ever.” They did this not to hurt Bush, that was an awesome side benefit. The main intent was to cripple the GOP. It worked. This approach began with Nixon and Ford, but took a much-hated hiatus during Reagan, who turned the remaining southern Democrats into Republicans and created the last great party boom.
Alleging Bush’s supposed idiocy day after day was designed to put the idea in the head of the general populace that the GOP was inept. They decided to nominate Bush, the dumbest person in the world, how can they ever be trusted again?
Sarah Palin’s appeal to middle America almost derailed the whole thing. The media took care of her in short order by portraying her as, you guessed it, dumb. Obama is now our President. The plan was a masterpiece.
The GOP, in not fighting back forcefully enough, was played like a fiddle. The media is biased toward liberalism no doubt; however, I do remember seeing Bush, Cheney, Frist, et. al. on the Sunday talk shows for all eight years of the Bush Presidency. The opportunity to fight was there. Blaming the media for the travails of today’s GOP is like former World Series champs blaming a bad season on the fact that the other team had better training facilities.
This brings me to the teleprompter gaffe. As of this writing, the video of the event with President Obama and Brian Cowen has not been released.

Good one, thank you.
On the contrary, he’s too smart to speak from the heart. His core beliefs are political suicide.
However, he is NOT smart enough to “self filter”, and that is why he comes across as a bumbling fool without the teleprompter.
I’ve found that the best way to enrage an 0bama supporter is to point out, with evidence, what a dummass the guy is, and how dumb people who voted for him must have been for thinking he’s smart.
The GOP thinking it is above a street fight will relegate the party to history. Wake up.

It depends on what the meaning of “in” in.
Yep! In fact, we were joking about it here the last few days, and when my Sweetie went to pick a movie to watch with dinner last night, that’s the one he chose. It was light and very silly entertainment, but man o manischevitz ... Barack Burgundy. That’s the guy in office.
