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."

That didn’t necessarily make him intelligent, it does make his handlers intelligent. He’s not the only instance in which Americans, both left and right, have been played.
Probably right. They’re at the end of the scam and trying to not make too many waves except those crucial life-threatening actions that will cripple us completely. Muslim refugees, illegal Hispanics and a vastly increased entitlement network and tax system for actual WORKING people in this country. Despicable traitor
Krauthammer comes across as afraid of a real coservative getting into the White House. It seems to paralyze him.
I know the name Soetoro is real. I’d guess I’d want to see the social security number tied to it.
Thanks.
It handicaps his ability to be objective, you know? ;)
I may appear "fearful" though I believe that is an intentionally incorrect characterization intended to elicit an emotional response. Fail. I am concerned, and thus prepared and preparing, for additional terrorist attacks which may occur in my vicinity.
Oh, and bammy, here's an unfair cheap shot right back at you: it's easy to discount the threat of terrorism when all your public appearances are carefully scripted, planned, and secured by hundreds of armed agents. Wuss.
“Thank you sir may I have another?”
I hope not. Unless his string-pullers still see a use for him, I hope it will be the case that he just falls completely off the wagon and wants nothing to do with being seen in public. I hope he falls off so completely that he’s useless, as he either doesn’t want to be seen or else he’s so drugged-up and from under the tight control that he says really, really, stupid things which are blatant and can’t be parsed, such as his desire for the US to be part of a global caliphate. I hope most Americans aren’t so stupid as to want that yet.
A wrench dropped into the gears of a complex system can do horrible destruction to them. The wrench doesn't have to be smart. It just needs to be solid.
Obama has a will of iron when it comes to doing stupid things.
Exactly. He had just enough smarts, and more than enough contempt for America, to be useful for a while.
Why shouldn’t it,he’s not conservative himself.
That is why Old Glory came down that fateful evening in Nov 2012 and rarely goes up now. Fourth of July, Veterans day and maybe a couple of others. Guess he is smart enough to win a majority of the vote twice.
LOL! but in a sad way. You are right. His whistling s’s will never stop bombarding us. We can say it’s his policies but they’ll still whip out the race card every time.
You’re more than welcome. PLEASE SHARE THAT (before it becomes a felony to do so).
He should be very satisfied at all that is going on.
BINGO
I may already be facing felony charges for being a climate skeptic. :>)
it’s breitbart site still infested with popups and ads?
The royals in Washington are Versailles and we’re the rabble in Paris!
I don’t seem to get many if any.
