Obama is a very bright man.
   
One cannot presume that his actions arise from a crippled view of reality or a failure to understand their consequences.

For example, he is often criticized for giving away his chips before the game starts, or starting the negotiations from the position where he wants to end up.

In fact, I believe that he starts the negotiations from where the observer maybe wants to end up, but he starts at the right point to get to where he wants to end up.

This suggests to me that his goals are not the same as those of many of his rank-and-file supporters. Obama got the health care plan he wanted. He got the stimulus package he wanted. He provided just as much relief to distressed common people as he wanted to. He will get the tax bill that he wants. He will get the cuts to SS that he wants.

Damn skippy he's bright. In fact he's the smartest man in these 60 states.
He knows a lot about medicine too, enough to administer a breathalyzer to an asthma patient.
If he needs help he calls on the Navy Corpse men to assist.
I get all wee weed up just thinking of him.

I think the jackoff radical is mocking here.

Pay close attention to the final paragraph.

I could be wrong--I've been wrong before--but I think I'm right.

I think he is mocking them, or he is trying to say that Teh Won is out to screw over the DUmmies.

This suggests to me that his goals are not the same as those of many of his rank-and-file supporters.His "rank and file" supporters are not you DUmmies from the island.

Obama got the health care plan he wanted. Um, no. He was going to take whatever bill Reid/Pelosi sent him.  His only goal was to be the one that passed health care reform.

He got the stimulus package he wanted. He provided just as much relief to distressed common people as he wanted to. Again, Zero gave almost no input, this was done in backroom deals.

He will get the tax bill that he wants. He will get the cuts to SS that he wants.

I hope I'm wrong here, but I think the obumbler, the anti-American, may get all that he wants. Especially with the tax cuts.
The imposter did get the HELLCARE that he wanted and the un"stimulus" package as well. Both bills as we know, are a FAIL. I hope I'm wrong. I don't want the Bush tax cuts to expire for ANYBODY.

Yep, he is so scary smart that everything he touches turns to shit.

I have an open offer to the smartest president in the history of the universe to an IQ test.  I will spot him 40 points and drink a half bottle of tequila ahead of time. However, like Beck's phone I will never expect a call.

If you were trying to tee up an example of 'False premise,' you really couldn't do much better than that.  History is replete with examples of bright men who steered great enterprises onto the rocks through bad judgment, mistaken beliefs or ideology, evil intent, edxcessive risk-taking, over-self-confidence, and countless other flaws that did not contradict their 'brightness.'

What an ass. If anyone ever doubted that this tool is an empty suit incapable of an original thought then that statement should have settled all doubts.
