I'm afraid that Mr. Obama is of slightly above average intelegence, and suffers, as I've noted before, from malignent narcissisam. This malady makes it impossible for him to surround hinself with anything but mirrors of himself and recripicals of hinself. Of necessity all must be idealogues sharing his view. And that'swhat we have. Review his "kitchen cabinet" of Czars as evidence. Anthony Van Jones, indeed. Further, they cannot be a whole lot brighter nr can they have any real world experience outside government. Why, because they'd DISAGREE with Mr. Obama and likely correctly so, and his ego could NOT stand that.
He is not that bright, and almost incapable of planning what is happening. Not to say the few in this Administration who are brighter than average are too stupid not to take advantage, they are taking advantage. So we need to close him down in November. Anyone who has supported this lot needs to be thrown out, clean sweep, folks, clean sweep.
