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."

He’s just a mouthpiece that speaks the evil of others. He;d just as soon get stoned as be president on most days.

I’m sure some of the nonsense is his but I believe that to be his handlers throwing him a bone.

“Here barry. You can finance BLM, just keep doing the bidding.”

Oh for sure. 100%. The -really- stupid people in the harvard picture though are people employing anyone that graduated from there in the last 40 years. Because club menbers, not quality is all they get.

Ive been doing the same since Nov 2008. It killed me to have to reset the count back in Nov 2012.

I'll be on the Mall in DC at noon on Jan 20, 2017. Hope to see you there.

I am so sick and tired of everyone, including GOP presidential candidates telling everyone that Americans are "afraid" of muslims and Islam.

WE AREN'T AFRAID!!! WE'RE PISSED OFF!!!

We have good people all over the world being slaughtered by these medieval savages and we sit by and DO NOTHING. This pisses us off when we have the ability and capability to wipe the earth clean of these people in about 30 days. We just don't have the leadership or political will to do it.

This is why Trump and Cruz are leading the pack.

Don’t forget Krautie’s boner after Obama was elected, and the second one when he was invited to the media tete a tete shortly after!

We must take care not to dismiss obama’s theory out of hand. If there is one thing the American imam understands is how to succeed on anger alone ... that is, without intellect.

The American people are not as intelligent as he. That’s why they voted for him, TWICE.

He is rife with anger and devoid of traditional patriotism for this country. I really do put him on a scale with Mussolini, Stalin and Hitler.....

The “ employers” are just the previous generation of people to come through one of the “elite” institutions of higher Cultural Marxism thought.

What I have noticed is how tightly scripted he was in his first campaign, and how less and less scripted he has been since, and how more and more he has avoided public scrutiny unless he (or his team or handlers) can completely control the script, because when he’s out there on his own, he says really stupid things, such as on the radio, where he was not a big help to his ostensible party, in the mid-terms. He’s about out-lived his usefulness now, the GOP is almost completely on-board with the agenda now, thanks to leftist or just greedy infiltrators, it hardly matters who has Congress, and only someone who is either staunchly, proven conservative, or a wild card that they don’t know they can control, is a threat.

You know the worst part of it?

After he is out of office he still won't shut up. He will keep talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking. And the media will be on their knees with microphones extended to catch every word that tumbles from his lips and then they will be talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking.

It will never END!

Because parents still haven’t caught on to the fact that college isn’t there now to make their kids smarter, it’s to indoctrinate them. They pay to have their kids taught to hate them (and themselves), if they’re the “wrong” people.

True enough. But eventually the pyramid collapses because of it.
