Camouflage

Demonstrating his super keen sense of the American people, the Super Genius gave us this tidbit after Massachusetts:

Here's my assessment of not just the vote in Massachusetts, but the mood around the country: the same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office. People are angry and they are frustrated. Not just because of what's happened in the last year or two years, but what's happened over the last eight years.

Were voters mad in 2010? Oh hell yes they were - by every multiple of the deficit over what was there in 2008. We're alarmed by his bankrupting policies, and we're not the same crowd that voted him into office...

So one of two things is possible with his tone-deaf comment:

1. He's too stupid to get it. Anger is anger, right?
2. He's stupid enough to think that he's persuasive enough to convince us that he's actually on our side. Persuasion... yes, more Time magazine covers, more Prime Time news conferences, that's the ticket. We haven't yet basked in his royal presence enough yet to soak up that socialist sunshine and feel good about it.

Either way, though, he can't see us. We're standing, millions strong, right in front of him and he can't see us at all. Which is fantastic...

Surprise is always your best friend in any fight.

The reason his comment is completely ridiculous is this: if the people weren't angry at HIM, and HIS POLICIES, they would have given him a Democrat in Massachusetts so he could keep his 60-seat senate! This is so completely obvious that it's an insult to think he sees it any other way. Invisible... bah. He sees us - but he's arrogant enough to think that people will accept his spin. (And by the way, Super Genius, "the last eight years" now includes ONE year with you in office. You might want to stop throwing that phrase around.)

Janet mentions arrogance. I think that is the root of Obama's stupidity. He is so arrogant and close-minded he can't see how people are revolting against his policies. He believes to his core what he preaches (I say preach because he is above living it - health care for thee, not for me). For this reason I don't think he will tack to the right like Clinton did. I think it will be a bloody 2010 midterm for the Dems and Obama gets flushed in 2012.
