Obama Believes People Afraid of Terror Because They Aren’t As ‘Intelligent’ As He
breitbart.com ^ | 12/19/2015 | Ian Hanchett

Columnist Charles Krauthammer stated that President Obama's reported quotation that he didn't watch enough cable news to understand the anxiety people had about terrorism was him stating people "are not as cool, intelligent, and far-seeing as I am" on Friday's "Special Report" on the Fox News Channel.

Krauthammer said, "to me he was being sarcastic. He was - this is a way of dissing, of sort of showing condescension to the rabble our there. After all this is an interview he gave, January 23rd of this year. Asked, 'Do you think the media sometimes overstates the level of alarm people should have about terrorism?' Barack Obama, 'Absolutely. And I don't (even) blame the media for that. What's the saying if it bleeds, it leads. You show crime stories (on local newscasts, right?) because that's what (the) folks watch.' This is Obama essentially saying, well, you know, the reason people are upset about this, is because it's been hyped on television, and they are not as cool, intelligent, and far-seeing as I am. This is his usual professorial condescension."

I don’t like Krauthammer (although I used to), but eluding to his handicaps?

I think he is to be admired for how he lived his life after such a devastating injury. He’s an example to all. Having said that, he’s definitely an elitist, and has gotten somewhat arrogant. I’d love to see him eat crow after Trump/Cruz take over.

Thanks and yes, so sad. Just hope more folks wake up!
“People get the government they deserve” Joseph de’Maistre
If this is the government about which the Founders warned us, it’s because, with just a few exceptions conspicuous by their rarity, we have become the people they feared we would become.

Just is case anyone hasn't caught on.. and I was saying this since early in 2010, "Obama is a MUSLIM that America BLINDLY elected to the presidency.
He is busy PROTECTING his RADICAL MUSLIM brothers while he continues to DISMANTLE America"

No, that’s just a swimming accident. His fear of genuine constitutional conservatives makes him talk like an idiot. He was already paralyzed.

That Columbia ID is from a Canadian woman. Obama's picture has been photoshopped into it.

That fake ID thing was debunked back 6 years ago or so.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. He got elected Present twice. He managed to implement wrong-headed foreign policies that have started WW III and get the US invaded, and he hasn’t been impeached yet. Those aren’t accomplishments?

No he didn't. The fact that he is considered "Black" is what did all the work.

President stupid didn't know how to build a campaign infrastructure. That was done for him. Liberals came out of the wood work to volunteer doing all the work for him because the thought of his "blackness" being President gave them orgasms.

The idiot didn't have to lift a finger. Other people built his campaign for him. He had one job. Reading speeches other people wrote for him from a Teleprompter. His "blackness" did all the real work.

His brain did very little of any, except run that big stupid mouth of his.

He managed to implement wrong-headed foreign policies that have started WW III and get the US invaded,...

That's because he's stupid.

and he hasn't been impeached yet.

That's because we're stupid.

Those aren't accomplishments?

Not for him. They are the accomplishments of the Left Wing foot soldiers. His book, (Written by Bill Ayers, because Obama is an idiot who can't write anything.) attracted attention to him. His Speech at the Democrat Convention in 2004, attracted even more National attention. Suddenly he was the darling of Liberals who control the news and entertainment media, who then became his guardian angels.

Without his "blackness" he's a schmuck. A Nobody. A Nothing. Were he white, he would be waiting tables somewhere, because a dope head white guy with bad grades and no skills doesn't get into Harvard, or Columbia, or anything.

Without "black" there is no "Precedent" Obama.

So see. He was judged by the color of his skin instead of the content of his character, and caused MLK to do a cartwheel in his grave. That’s not an accomplishment?
