SocraticGadfly: Obama teh Stupid - worse than Carter!

Obama teh Stupid - worse than Carter!

In an interview with Peter Baker for the NYT Magazine, Preznit Kumbaya said — get this — that he expected Republicans to offer him more cooperation after November's elections, no matter the outcome.
“It may be that regardless of what happens after this election, they feel more responsible, either because they didn’t do as well as they anticipated, and so the strategy of just saying no to everything and sitting on the sidelines and throwing bombs didn’t work for them,” Mr. Obama said. “Or they did reasonably well, in which case the American people are go
ing to be looking to them to offer serious proposals and work with me in a serious way.”
Has he not read the "Gesture to America" or whatever it's called? NO serious solutions will come forward from the GOP if it does well, and it will simply be more bitter if not.

How fucking dumb can you be and have a Harvard law degree, years of political experience and be elected President? Very, I guess.

Your former co-senator from Illinois? Not so dumb:
Senator Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the upper chamber and Obama’s ally from Illinois, said the Republicans were to blame for the absence of bipartisanship. “I think his fate was sealed,” Durbin said. “Once the Republicans decided they would close ranks to defeat him, that just made it extremely difficult and dragged it out for a longer period of time. The American people have a limited attention span. Once you convince them there’s a problem, they want a solution.”

And, beyond the dumb, we get the continued, blatant lying:
“Democrats just congenitally tend to see the glass as half empty,” Obama said at a fund-raiser in Greenwich, Conn., last month. “If we get an historic health care bill passed — oh, well, the public option wasn’t there. If you get the financial reform bill passed — then, well, I don’t know about this particular derivatives rule, I’m not sure that I’m satisfied with that. And, gosh, we haven’t yet brought about world peace. I thought that was going to happen quicker.”

Well, let's see.

YOU sold out the public option.

YOU gutted financial reform.

YOU chose to double down on Afghanistan.
