But if he wasn’t an idiot, he would know that Americans (majority) would never go along with his schemes. I see him as a puppet. I don’t think he is very smart at all.
I almost wrote something about that on the last post... I'm not NEARLY going to to call him a "genius" by any stretch, but that still leaves a lot of room between there and 'idiot' (i.e., Carter).
I can go along with 'puppet', too -- I just think that as a True (Lefty/Commie/Marxist) Believer, he can't understand why people aren't blindly following and trusting him. After all, he's the Messiah, right?
