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."

His puppet masters who feed him drugs also pump his head up with helium.
We passed the thousand mark in just one day.
If Mr Obama wants to see real terror, he can settle his beloved Syrian refugees in Detroit. After a few weeks in that paradise they would be applying with ISIS in Raqqa for humanitarian refugee status.
Not so fast there keemo sabe. He’s accomplished tearing apart the fabric of civility in America. Divided even further the race “issue” and given rise to a whole lot of ungrateful snotty brats who have no clue what hard times are. But are offended it you tell them that.
Krauthammer is a liberal pretending to be a conservative. His main goal is to feather his bed.
I don’t, I think he’s a useful idiot, just smart enough to be useful. His most useful attributes didn’t include intelligence.
Yeah it has nothing to do with the fact we don’t live our lives surrounded by 30-50 highly trained, dedicated bodbygaurds with some of the best high tech weapons money can buy like he does.
At least 66 million voters admitted to being traitors when they voted for Traitorobama in 2008 and then reaffirm their treason in 2012.
You watch....he will slap us in the face on a daily basis his last year. Some days twice.
397.
Not necessarily-someone really smart (and evil) like Soros was pulling his strings in that campaign, they cleaned him up just long enough to “be there” for the first campaign, then let him slide back onto the drugs once they got the White House and the power. Believe me, all the signs are there of someone who avoids the public because they’re living their druggie lifestyle.
Oh, I could be as intelligent as he, but I won’t get the lobotomy!
If you don’t care about other people, plus if you feel each terror attack is a perfect crisis not to waste, you have zero fear of attacks. You are relishing them. You are preparing your best suits and speeches for them already.
Me, I am willing to let “whatever” happen to Syria and want us to focus on keeping ISIS anywhere but in our country. We can’t clean up the Middle East. We need to support Israel but our focus should be ridding this country of insurgents.
Is there an app for that?
Sounds like he just wants us to drop our guard...don’t “say something” if you “see something”. He’s Col. Sanders telling the chickens they have “nothing to worry about”.
If Iâm not mistaken, he has a fence around his house.
And if you cross over HIS fence, you will be met by - gasp- gunfire.
It’s hard to say exactly what he is. From my perspective of world figures in the last century, he has the evil of Stalin, the arrogance of Mussolini, and the support and circumstance of Hitler in his beginnings. His goals, however most closely aligns with Mohammed.
“only” 397 days left! We really need a countdown clock.
Heh heh! You’re right. If he were that smart in 1980 he would not have needed any loans!
Considering Harvard grads have proven to be less intelligent than grade school children from the 1800s, I have to wonder how utterly retarded the parents must be to spend a quarter mill for their kids to be made less intelligent than when they went in.
Which, if you think about it, is REALLY impressive since with parents of such low intelligence, the children go into Harvard questionably able to wipe their own asses to begin with.
