Oh yes! obama MASTERFULLY conducted that summit like NO Republican could ever hope to do. He did such whining that a ‘dummy’ like Bush could only hope to do in his dreams.

Such brilliant ‘comebacks’ like “John, the election is over. I won...” TOTALLY showed obamas higher intellect on facing the hard issues at hand.

Wow.

my dog has a finer working brain than obama.

-oh yeah... my dog died last year too...

David Corn should perhaps consider what the job of a president is before making this absurd suggestion. Did the Constitution contemplate the president taking 7 hours to host a seminar with leaders of congress? Is that part of his job? Should the president spend his time digging through the muck of legislative language and nuance?

Yeah, Jimmy Carter was real smart! So was Bill Clinton! And look at their presidencies! Case Closed!

When you believe one lie, you go on to beleive another, and another, and another.

Corn is so lost.

Obama is a slick weasel teleprompter reader. He falls down tying his shoes when he is off script, mostly because his entire life experiences are lies.
George Bush would never be arrogant enough to try to ramrod this piece of dog crap through against the will of the American people.
Reagan would have handed them their lunch.

Does not matter if a person is smart and acts stupidly.

Barama knows all about that, his teleprompter tells him so.

He could end up rewarded just like Jimmah for his so called intelligence.

Bog Media convinced the public ‘if GWB can be President, ANYONE can be President’. So the public elected ANYONE. Zero is in waaaay above his paygrade. How do we know he's smart other than Big Media says so? We haven't seen any grade records, SATs, etc. Big Media should be sued for fraud.

I’ll bet even George W. knew there were only 50 states, or that the Austrians didn’t speak Austrian.

Could George W. Bush have done this?

My 11-year-old nephew could have done it. He certainly wouldn't have been any less attentive.

It is tough to imagine Bush leading a seven-hour gabfest on a complex policy matter, being able to master the specifics and nuances, and field questions about in-the-weeds details as Obama did.

When you don't know the plan and make things up as you go, it's really not that hard.

Wow, that is some serious delusion right there. This guy is definitely wearing his Lewinsky kneepads for Obama.

Here’s a great clip from the event showing Obama with a definite deer-in-the-headlights look:

Clinton couldn’t even pull off a summit lasting more than 1 minute with Monica.

George Bush was smart enough to not sit around a table with legislators in a public forum and allow himself to be brought down to their level. Obama still thinks like a community organizer, not a President.

I wonder why Democrats always seem to pick US Senators as running mates, and always attorney’s? If GWB did nothing else, his VP, Dick Cheney, was a breath of fresh air in office. Cheney was also one of the most effective VP’s.

Whenever people hold forth on how stupid or slow GWB is, I like to point out that the man flew single-seat fighter jets—something even a liberal will realize can’t be done by the stupid.

GHWB was often accused by the same types of being a wimp. A man who flew carrier-based planes in WWII!

Watching President Barack Obama at the White House health care summit last week, it was hard not to have an obvious thought: Could we have elected a Marxist as president?

"GHWB was often accused by the same types of being a wimp. A man who flew carrier-based planes in WWII!"

IIRC just the math alone required to be a fighter pilot weeds out the stupid rather quickly.

Besides anyone who straps into a pilot seat of a vehicle loaded down with jet fuel and explosive ordinance that was built on a government contract by the lowest bidder in order to serve his/her country is in my book a brave and dedicated individual from the get-go!
