Agreed that Obama is a puppet. Lazy perhaps. Stupid? I don’t think so. The following link is to an old FR thread, about an even older conservative booklet called “The Revolution Was”, written in 1938 about FDR and the New Deal. It is ALL happening again - amazingly, chillingly so. Only worse.

An Excerpt:

Worse outwitted were those who kept trying to make sense of the New Deal from the point of view of all that was implicit in the American scheme, charging it therefore with contradiction, fallacy, economic ignorance, and general incompetence to govern.

But it could not be so embarrassed and all that line was wasted, because, in the first place, it never intended to make that kind of sense, and secondly, it took off from nothing that was implicit in the American scheme. It took off from a revolutionary base.....

Having passed this crisis, the New Deal went on from one problem to another, taking them in the proper order, according to revolutionary technic; and if the handling of one was inconsistent with the handling of another, even to the point of nullity, that was blunder in reverse.

The effect was to keep people excited about one thing at a time, and divided, while steadily through all the uproar of outrage and confusion a certain end, held constantly in view, was pursued by main intention.

The end held constantly in view was power.

You are of course right about the evil agenda, as far as stupid goes it perhaps depends on your own definition of the word. Certainly the glaring errors of English usage indicate someone who could not pass a seventh grade English test from his mother’s time. The lapses into total incoherence on stage and the inability to speak without a teleprompter show evidence that he is anything but the genius that he has been purported to be by the left wing media. I will go on record as saying without fear of being wrong that the man could not pass a high school final exam from a South Carolina public school of 1961, the year he claims to have been born. Two subjects, English and History, would have been sufficient to deny him a high school diploma, there is no possibility of error in that statement.
