In this piece, John Podhertz warns his fellow righties not to underestimate Obama.
"....The weird condescension his opponents display toward him is ludicrously wrongheaded. They seem eager to believe he is a lightweight, and he is not. Obama is very possibly a world-historical political figure, and until those who oppose him come to grips with this fact, they will get him wrong every time.....
...But then there's the completely mysterious stuff. Obama was too dumb to write his own autobiography. Obama was an affirmative action baby at Harvard Law. Obama can barely string three words together without a teleprompter. Obama is too lazy to attend national security briefings. Obama gives soaring speeches but there's nothing behind them. Obama lives a life of sybaritic ease punctuated mostly by golf dates and basketball games.
It's just bizarre....
....The problem is that this is so risibly wrong that (a) they have a hard time fighting back because they flatly don't understand what they're up against, and (b) it makes them look moronic...."
Barack Obama Is Dumb and Lazy | Mother Jones
And, this is precisely why Obama keeps handing the Nutter's their ass on issue after issue, confrontation after confrontation.
The first rule of warfare is "Know your enemy." And, what the right THINKS they know about Obama is the string of lies they've been fed since he first ran for office.
