#2 There has been a "Knave or Fool?" debate ever since the Zero was elected. I have come to the Knave position. He intends to do exactly what he is doing. The fact that his policies leave a trail of destruction in their wakes is a feature, not a bug. I recall how survivors of Stalin's gulags said, "If only Stalin had known."

#3 Knave or fool?

These are not mutually exclusive. I feel that he is knave through & through but thank the lord that he is also a fool so that we may survive the knavishness.

A smart knave would not have brought forth in less than two years an opponent as robust and distributed as the tea party. He would have done the soft sell successfully and co-opted the Rinos to such a degree that the opposition was muted at worst.

#4 Knave or fool? Yes!

Obama is a socialist (or at least socialist-inclined) and he does want to turn this country into some sort of quasi-European social democracy (heavy on the social, light on the democracy). He is also profoundly inexperienced and shockingly unwise in the ways of the world. He's spent his entire life inside a liberal elite bubble. He's never worked in a profit-making enterprise, never had to live day to day around people who don't agree with him 98% or more on the issues, never before been responsible for the success or failure of a project. He's intelligent, but he's so overconfident that he doesn't know what he doesn't know.
