#2 In a time of economic strain and austerity in millions of American households, the First Lady shuts down Madison Avenue to go on a $50,000 shopping spree in a lingerie store.

Enjoy, Barry.

#4 Obi-Wan: Who's the more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows him?

#5 Smart enough to get elected, get much of a radical agenda passed (so far), and most likely get re-elected.

#6 Apparently smarter than most American voters - at least in '09.

#7 A lot smarter than most who voted, and going to do so again, for him.

#9 BO has TOTUS and is kept scripted most of the time. When he's not scripted he doesn't do so well. Most of the Donks are still with him. I don't know about the following groups: Jewish, student, independents. Some have strayed away: I just don't know how many. When one looks at the electoral vote, the election is out there to be won. There is a good chance the Pubs will keep the House and win the Senate contrary to what the pundits and polls are saying. So far the pundits have gotten things wrong much of the time. IMO that many are saying anyone but BO.

#10 Not sure, he has something up there to remember names, pick the right friends, and learn foux accents. I would say clumsy for sure.

I do not think he so much won as Hillary! lost. She forgot in the liberal hierarchy that race trumps gender, and that her experience does not trump race, so she could not recover from some of her statement being counter-narratived, as well as some other stuff. IIRC even poor ol McCain was making strides until the finance collapse, vote on the Bush stimulus fiasco, and full power of the media.

He gets into office, Dem Congress has items lined up right and left, polls start coming in and they realized that it needs to be sold, good thing they just elected the best salesman evah, right? Wrong. Congress needed a sell, President was off doddling in Beerfest, Peace Prize, Olympics, so forth. Such a poor job, even with the media, that not only did the Dems get trounced in '10, they didn't get nearly everything done and done right for their agenda, loose ends, and created an entire political opposition movement which catalized with his dismissals and repugnancy.

The Unions have had to pour a ton of money into putting out his fires. Hillary! has been on a plane nearly non-stop putting out fires caused by the dragging chain of limp diplomacy.

And if I were a collectivist, I'd be pissed too. All he had to do was show up to work, and it was done, and he blew it off for his own image and will quite honestly become such a parody of what the great leaders of collectivism do that they may never recover. If they had any guts they would run Hillary! but after 3 years of being drug about behind Obama's chariot can't blame her for being tired.

Its the half hypocrasy and half incompetence of a person who is simply waiting for the next promotion. And collectivists, you think the last two years has been a headbanger, if he does win you will see a lame duck go through at least the next two years as the last two years, likely without as much Dem in the Senate. So go vote for the machine, they don't care about you, in fact you OWS et all will be so shitcanned over the next 6 months you will actually have a real reason to be pissed.

#11 How stupid? Check the serial number of his birth certificate against others issued on that date.

#12 Every new generation has to learn, unfortunately the hard way, through experiencing poor decisions, even at the voting booth. Problem is, old dinosaurs like Pelosi and Reid and Soros lept at this golden opportunity to push through socialism. Future generations will pay dearly for it.

#13 He's not stupid at all, he just thinks we are.

#14 The dark complected people I know will not vote Republican. Why, because "I don't see anything the Republicans have to offer". That's what the young adults have told me. Smart? doesn't matter.

#15 I think it was a rhetorical question. After all, Joe Biden was named VP to give him gravitas
