People who believe government doesn’t work are most empowered.

That's actually a sharp insight. "People who believe government doesn't work" figure that they'd better plan on taking care of themselves (and their families and neighbors), and the next thing you know, they're "empowered" to do things like pursue useful education, work hard, save, act responsibly, etc.

My goodness, Democrats can't have THAT, can they?

His defining personal characteristic is incompetence, combined with a self-centeredness that prevents him from seeing past his own navel.

John Ransom nails it again. Obama, the proven liar, has an acute lack of retrospection. Liberals generally don't. Communism and Fascism don't either.

If Obama dared to reconsider his hell-bent ideology, he would only be left with incompetence.

How do you spend $5 trillion and not even marginally help the very people that you say you care about the most?

That simple question provides the perspective lacking in the news media. Smart conservative candidates will be asking that question in 15 and 30 second ads.

Sentiments i totally agree with. Obama is really just that stupid. Arrogant as well. I don’t know just how arrogant he was before he started getting attention. Once he started to be worshiped however that feature simply had to become a defining trait of his.

“nor is he the maniacal mastermind of socialist America, the lead miner and sapper of capitalism.”

I disagree.

I disagree. While he would undoubtedly be considered incompetent for a number of tasks he doesn’t value, he’s been extraordinarily able as far as his goals and ambitions are concerned.

Letting him off the hook with the label of incompetent is the RINO’s way.

I disagree with this premise

His defining personal characteristic is incompetence, combined with a self-centeredness that prevents him from seeing past his own navel.

Although it is one of his characteristics, it's not the one that defines him.

What defines him is his hatred of American principles and much of the good that once came from those principles. He is not simply a lesser evil, he stands for a far greater evil than any of us has known.

I disagree with John Ransom.

Incompetent leaders do not come out of the woodwork with support from the majority (media, women, catholics, blacks, hispanics, et al) twice (2008 and 2012) while proclaiming redistribution of wealth as his goal without being a mastermind during the socialization of this country!!! Most of those who still claim to be patriots are saying to themselves WTF happened?

Obama knows exactly what he is doing!

And he thinks people, “his people,” are too stupid to see it.

__________________________________________________________

"His" people are not too stupid to see it, but choose not to see it, blinded by the "light" of their racial leaders.

I'm convinced they are. It's either that or they are voting tribal. Neither case is flattering to them or beneficial to our republic for a peaceful and just outcome.

Obama Thinks Blacks Too Stupid to Understand

Does it make me racist to agree with Obama this one time?

Like Sterling did?
