While I usually have something to add, this speaks for itself:

Are the Obamanoids as dumb as they seem?

Team Obama certainly ran a brilliant election campaign, but since they left Chicago for Washington, they seem to have dropped about twenty-five IQ points – or do they think the rest of the world is like Chicago? I’m not even sure it’s that simple, because Moscow in some ways (corruption) resembles Chicago, but they sure seem to have misjudged the Russians, among many other things.

Of course, they can (and do) blame their tanking poll numbers on Fox News, but that’s a sure fire prescription for having them tank even further. Even the New York Times admitted that Team Obama was blind to the most conventional of wisdom about “punching upwards not downwards,” thus benefitting Fox instead of themselves by attacking the network. I always thought the Bushies were a disaster at public relations, but the Obamanoids are giving them a run for their money. Maybe Lord Acton should be revised: Power corrupts, but absolute power makes you absolutely clueless!

And the cluelessness is absolutely mind-boggling. What, pray tell, was going through the head of Anita Dunn (a Democratic Party political “pro“) when she named Mao (along with Mother Teresa) as her philosophical inspiration at a high school (not college – my bad) graduation speech? If this weren’t an act of monumental stupidity (neither are philosophers, to begin with, although Mao’s “On Contradiction“, a work I would bet my house Dunn has never read or even heard of, is an interesting compendium of the Marxist rhetoric of the time), it was an extraordinary act of unconscious self-immolation. On top of it all, Ms. Dunn apparently hadn’t gotten the message from Christopher Hitchens regarding the sanctity of Mother T.

But never mind. This is dumbness beyond dumbness, a desperate attempt by an aging boomer to show how hip she was to a younger crowd. Whether she knew Mao was the greatest mass murderer of all time was beside the point. She was cool. [NOTE TO TROLLS: Spare us the argument she was being ironic. Only a blithering idiot could believe that. Was she being ironic about Mother Teresa in the same sentence?] What fascinates in all this – and potentially gives us scary insight into the Obama crew – is the following from Wikipedia about Dunn: During the presidential transition of 2008-09, Dunn trained White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.[citation needed]

I have left the “citation needed.” As of now, Dunn is innocent (of that) until proven guilty. But if it is true, that’s all we need to know. When does the housecleaning start?
 
I too am surprised at the incompetence of this administration and their ill advised attacks on FOX NEWS. Put down the "rules for radicals" handbook for cry's sake. It appears to me that they are really good at running for election and really bad at governance. They have done nothing but make themselves look petty and boosted FOX NEWS ratings

Seriously? I've never noticed that you do anything but copy and paste the thoughts of others.

Part of me really wishes we, you and I, could get together as we seem to have lots in common, then I see an idiotic post like this and say, WTF? There are times you seem smart, then there are the above.

So, what's the complaint then?

They will never leave the election mode, that's become obvious. There's no recognition of war on any front. Just keep raising money and hope that the lame talking points resonate. Well they aren't and that's screwing things up, big time. So the reaction of the war room is to attack FOX, we'll see how that plays out as a policy.

My complaint is simple - even though I did not vote for Obama, he is still OUR PRESIDENT. He needs to act PRESIDENTIAL.

Not sure why you are surprised.
Look at the campaign. What genius decided to have Obama not wear an American flag in his lapel? WHo suggested he fondle himself during the National Anthem? What Einstein thought it would be a great idea to redesign the presidential seal?
On and on.
The only reason he survived was because the press, in love with a "clean articulate black man", gave him a total pass. Had it been, say Edwards, they would have laughed him off the stage.
No, this is a team with terrible terrible judgment, and it shows everyday. I was saying this long before the election.

Can one remains 'Presidential' continuing in candidate mode, forever?
 
Its been obvious for some time that all barry knows is how to campaign, decision making and governing just doesn't work for him.

He's all about polls, and saying words that resonate based on careful study.

In short, he's all style and zero substance, and is in fact the empty suit many called him before the election.
 
Hey they "Control the Media" just like Mao did no? This woman was just caught being honest. She really does admire Mao Tse Tung and his tactics. So just savor this brief moment of honesty from this administration because it probably wont ever happen again.

Annie Ravi is dumb as a post. She has ALWAYS been dumb as a post. Hell I am giving posts a bad name by calling her dumb as a post.
