Obama Gaffes Intended to Appeal to Less Educated Clinton Voters

May 28 Ridiculopathy




WASHINGTON, D.C.- As recent misstatements and verbal stumblings have shown, Barack Obama is, as his detractors so gleefully suggest, a very dumb man, but is he dumb enough to be President? That's what voters will have to decide. At this point, the biggest concern about Obama is the fact that he opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning, a disappointing display of smarts. Meanwhile, his two rivals were willing to go along with the Bush administration's doomed escapade- not just a war, mind you, but a celebration of naivete and idiot strength. His stubbornly correct position on the war has many Democrats worried that Obama just doesn't possess the natural dumbness to lead one of the most powerful nations on earth.

"Certainly, we're faced with a very steep hill to climb and some very big shoes to fill," said Obama strategist David Axelrod. "People judge what it is to be 'Presidential' based on the current President, so clearly Barack has some catching up to do."

2. Just when I unblock GD: P, more fucked up shit
Just when I try to confirm my suspicion that the McClellan thing had calmed things down to a degree, this shit is here from some kind of allegedly scholarly website called ridiculopathy.com and presented in all it's stupefying glory.

Back to "Yes" to cure the nausea.

8. If so, sorry about the knee-jerk
but that's the way it is these days here. I won't read the article for health reasons. But if it's intended as sarcasm, I stand corrected.
