Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsPresident Obama is in a unique position to evoke stupidity from Republicans.
His recent statement about his potential to win if he could run for a third term is a good example. So was his pointed criticism of Huckabee. As a "lame duck" President, he can poke at the Republicans freely, especially the primary candidates. Since they're as stupid as slugs, they'll respond by saying stupid things and damaging their own chances.
Once again, our President is showing us just how smart he truly is. I expect more comments from him designed to provoke Republican presidential candidates into doing what they do so well - making complete asses of themselves.
Thank you, Mr. President!

Making complete asses of themselves and the GOP in the process.

Right now, all of the GOP primary candidates are pandering frantically to their right wing nutcase base, since they believe that base is essential to win the nomination. So, they are piling on each other trying to be the candidate with the "rightest" agenda.
Trump, however, has trumped them in this, and has that bizarre segment of the population all sewed up, so what are they to do. Huckleberry has brought up Hitler already. What could be next from the desperate primary candidates who are threatened with being so insignificant that they won't even be in the debates?
They're fighting each other for bottom of the heap, and President Obama is handing over the ammo they need. Time for a circular firing squad approach to the campaign!
Ready. Aim. FIRE!
