Thomas Friedman and Raul Castro Agree: Barack Obama Is So Brilliant,

[Kaslin]

RUSH: Did you hear what Thomas Friedman said? Well, before I tell you what Thomas Friedman said, do you remember what Ronald Reagan said when he was asked about policy toward the Soviet Union? (interruption) What is going on in there? Are you mad at somebody, or are you excited at somebody? Snerdley started pointing and shouting in there and I thought something is going nuts. He's screening a call that he likes. That's what it was.

Anyway, Ronald Reagan, when discussing policy, foreign policy regarding the Soviet Union, said, "My policy's very simple: We win, they lose." And that was another one of Reagan's statements that sent the left into orbit. They thought it was simplistic, they thought it was naive, they thought it was impossible, and they thought it was ill advisable. They didn't like getting rid of the second superpower in the world. The left thought that two superpowers, us and at the time it was the Soviets, was balancing, that was good. They had no concept of good guys and bad guys, therefore no concept of us as the good guys. A lone superpower, even if it's us, that's not good, that promotes destabilization in the world. Reagan just laughed at 'em.

Thomas "Loopy" Friedman of the New York Times, back at it again, says that one of the great things -- contrast this with Reagan. Reagan on foreign policy with the Soviets, "Very simple: We win, they lose." Thomas "Loopy" Friedman describing Obama's foreign policy with Iran says that, quote, "[Obama] actually knows what America looks like from the outside in. And he can actually see America even to some point from the Iranian perspective."

This is supposed to comfort us. This lunacy is somehow supposed to tell us that we are being led by a leader and a president many cuts above all of us ordinary plebes. Obama can see America from Iran's perspective, and that's why Obama is so good. Now, that can only mean one thing. What is Iran's perspective of the United States? I could sum it up in three words: Death to America! Death to America! Death to America! That's the Iranian perspective of the United States. And here comes Thomas Friedman saying Obama's so brilliant he can see America from Iran's perspective.

Now, I don't mean that Obama's out there shouting, "Death to America." What I mean is Thomas "Loopy" Friedman says Obama understands. Obama has this ability to put himself inside the minds and the heads of the ayatollahs, and he understands their perspective on America. What does that mean? That Obama understands why we're hated? He understands why we are considered to be such a threat? What does that matter, when you boil it all down?

Does it matter that Barack Obama can see America from Iran's perspective? "Yes, Mr. Limbaugh." This is the voice of Mr. New Castrati. "Mr. Limbaugh, it would no doubtedly assist the president with foreign policy and nuclear weapons, a policy that would work, since he understands how the Iranians see us." And knows what to do to make sure that we don't threaten 'em, right? What caca.

Here's Thomas Friedman, one of the acknowledged elites -- he'll tell you he's one of the acknowledged elites inside the New York-Washington corridor, the best and the brightest, smarter than all the rest of us, can see things that the rest of us can't. And the nuance that Obama can see America from Iran's perspective is somehow to supposed to comfort us. It's somehow supposed to tell us how special Obama is. What does it matter? It doesn't matter. The proper perspective would be if Thomas "Loopy" Friedman would write that Obama is able to understand what Iran is all about, rather than preface it or predicate it by saying that Obama's real great quality is that he can see America from Iran's perspective.

If he can see it from Iran's perspective, he can see it from Putin's, and he can see it from Raul Castro's, and Raul Castro just over the weekend ripped the United States to shreds again, as you would expect him to do, but he exempted Obama. Oh, yes, Obama's had nothing to do with the bad America. So we know what this means. Obama, like Iran, like the Castros, he sees America's flaws, he understands and agrees with the way these are seen.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: No, no, I'm just saying I would rather have a president who sees issues from America's perspective, not Iran's. Sorry. I know I'm an oddball here, but I don't think it's any kind of a positive to say that Obama can see America from Iran's perspective. That can't be good. What in the world could that possibly lead to? There's Tom Friedman, New York Times, singing Obama's praises, he's so good, he's so smart, he's so in touch, he can see America from Iran's perspective.

So can we. All we have to do is listen to them: Death to America! They build IEDs, kill our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. We know who they are. We know they're state sponsors of terrorism. We know their best buds are Hezbollah. We don't need any brilliant president to see America from their perspective. We already know what it is. What would be great would have to have a president who sees issues from America's perspective. I can't believe I even have to point that out. But I do.

Obama Is The Smartest President Ever

Historian Michael Beschloss on the Don Imus Show, November 2008:

Michael Beschloss: “Even aside from the fact of electing the first African American President and whatever one’s partisan views this is a guy whose IQ is off the charts. I mean you cannot say that he is anything but a very serious and capable leader and, you know, you and I have talked about this for years.”…

Don Imus: “So what is his IQ?”

Michael Beschloss: “Uh. I would say it’s probably - he’s probably the smartest guy ever to become President.”

Don Imus: “I didn’t ask you that. I asked you what his IQ was.”

Michael Beschloss: “You know that I don’t know and I’d have to find someone with more expertise …”

Don Imus: “You don’t know.”

Michael Beschloss: What do YOU think it is?

Does it matter that Barack Obama can see America from Iran’s perspective?

YES IT DOES, It Means he has nothing but contempt for America

[Blood of Tyrants]

That is because Obama isn’t an American. He HATES the US and all it stands for.

[PapaNew]

Brilliant but ungodly.

Intelligent but unjust.

Knows a degree of detail but lacking in reasonable and beneficial conclusions.

[stephenjohnbanker]

His I Q is between 100 and 15 most likely.

[Westbrook]

If 0bama is as smart as they say he is, then he’s America’s evil genius.

Rotten to the common core.

He’s so smart, he visited all 57 states.

He’s so smart, he’s commander in chief of the Marine “Corpse”.

He’s so smart, he thinks he can tax us into prosperity.

He’s so smart, he believes in “global warming”, even when the overwhelming preponderance of evidence in the last few years utterly refutes it.

Hes’ so smart, he believes that mankind contributes more CO2 and particulates to the atmosphere than volcanoes, when Mt. Pinatubo and Mt St. Helens spewed more CO2, sulfates, and other gasses, as well as billions of tons of particulates into the atmosphere than man has since the industrial age.

0bummer is either a cyincal bastard tyrant, or one of the dumbest rocks that ever occupied the Oval Office.

[stephenjohnbanker]

105, that are : )

[beethovenfan]

I see no evidence that he’s intelligent, let alone brilliant. Intelligent people are able to deal with reality.

[Westbrook]

> Process of migrating to more comprehensive model (continued)

I think I read somewhere that his IQ is 124.

Mine is 131. I’m not as rich and famous as he is, but that isn’t always the measure of IQ, now, is it.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” 0bummer is either a cyincal bastard tyrant, or one of the dumbest rocks that ever occupied the Oval Office.”

I will take both for 400, Alex.

[kjam22]

He’s not brilliant.... he’s just a racist, islamic... with philosophy grounded in marxism. He gets away with what he gets away with because nobody can impeach the first black president. That’s all there is to him.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” I think I read somewhere that his IQ is 124.”

I don’t believe it for a second. That is well above average, and the purple lipped faggot has already proven he has no command of the English language. Take the prompter away, and he is a stammering jackass.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Obama loves Navy CORPSEMEN too!

[Westbrook]

Given your articulate response, and that without any plagiarism or prompting, I surmise your IQ is higher than 0bummer’s.
:)

[stanne]

And yet I had to de-DVR Imus, as his frequent and increasing, emotional, versus logical, vile and nasty reviews of Ted Cruz showed cracks in his sanity

While, at the same time, Imus’s praises of Hillary, quote, ‘I love her to death’, were so difficult to take.

Not to mention his praise of Bill Clinton- the guy who violated the Oval Office while posing as president, thanks Ross Perot

But Imus’s adoration of and refusal to see Obama for what he does got Imus in altercations with none other than the charming and brilliant Monica Crowley

[Steely Tom]

He’s not brilliant.... he’s just a racist, islamic... with philosophy grounded in marxism. He gets away with what he gets away with because nobody can impeach the first black president. That’s all there is to him.

To those on the left, a person who has those characteristics and has also been able to trick enough people into voting him into the presidency is a genius propter hoc.

[Inyo-Mono]

But Imus’s adoration of and refusal to see Obama for what he does got Imus in altercations with none other than the charming and brilliant Monica Crowley

So Imus must have an IQ as low as does "57 states" Obama.

[adorno]

America's enemies....

plotting to destroy it.
