It sounds like Krauthammer is getting senile.
Krauthammer is a beltway boy. He likes the status quo. In my opinion he is a RINO!
He thinks Obama is intelligent. I think Obama is merely good at passing for intelligent; I don’t think he’s stupid, but Obama is certainly not the intellectual he likes to think he is. There is much to admire about Mr. Krauthammer and his usually excellent commentary, but his admiration for Obama’s supposed intellect is disappointing.
