[The Idiot Speaks] McCain: Obama Smartest Man in the Room
brietbart ^ | 3/4/14 | w bigelow

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), always currying favor with the press, made sure when he criticized Barack Obama he also ladled praise on him, calling Obama the smartest man in the room when recalling the series of dinners last year between Obama and GOP senators. Speaking with Time magazine, McCain said:

I thought when he had a couple of dinners with Republican senators, we really had a good environment there. Because he is a very, very articulate and attractive guy in a setting with eight or nine senators and him. Because he was smarter than the rest of us. But I don’t see that now. I don’t see any of that.

McCain also said, “There are some things that he could find that we could do on a bipartisan basis, and that may not be his top agenda items, but he’s got to do more outreach.”

Those dinners were termed a success at the time by press secretary Jay Carney, who said the White House was encouraged and what “seemed to be sincere interest in avoiding constant crisis, sincere interest expressed by the participants in the dinner.” He added that Obama said one of the meals was “very constructive and very pleasant.”

But after Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) met with Carney last week, and following Obama’s recent pronouncements of his intention to use executive actions to bypass Congress, Carney said it was “a press misconception that the success or failure of legislation in Congress depends on the relationship between a president and a Speaker or a president and a leader in Congress.”

McCain equates “outreach” with intelligence.

If there was any more doubt that the RINOS never want to be in power again, this is just one more thing to add to the list.

Rush actually had it right: When Obama walks into a room, he is instantly the least knowledgeable person in the meeting.”

Rush is right except Zip never goes to meetings, but even alone in a room he's the least qualified. Even a soda vender in the basement could run rings around him.

His Daycare worker is still showing him flashcards on how to spell and pronounce "Syracuse" everyday.
