So if we all acknowledge the pure brilliance of Barack Oabama and his enlightened followers, will you all go away happy? Or will you continue to insist that my preferred health insurance should be outlawed and coerce me to buy a policy that you geniuses designed, that the American tradition of entrepreneurship and free enterprise is to be sneered at and derided, that some people working hard and getting ahead is the reason that others don't do so well, and that our economy should basically be ruined in order to reduce temperatures by one tenth of a degree ninety years from now?

At the risk of participating in a ridiculous argument, just how smart is the Obama agenda, anyway?

speaking of how smart 0bama is, this exchange still cracks me up:

Presidential Historian Michael Beschloss: Yeah. Even aside from the fact of electing the first African American President and whatever one’s partisan views this is a guy whose IQ is off the charts — I mean you cannot say that he is anything but a very serious and capable leader and — you know — You and I have talked about this for years …

Imus:
Well. What is his IQ?

Historian Michael Beschloss:
… our system doesn’t allow those people to become President, those people meaning people THAT smart and THAT capable

Imus:
What is his IQ?

Historian Michael Beschloss:
Pardon?

Imus:
What is his IQ?

Historian Michael Beschloss:
Uh. I would say it’s probably - he’s probably the smartest guy ever to become President.

Imus:
That’s not what I asked you. I asked you what his IQ was.

Historian Michael Beschloss:
You know that I don’t know, and I’d have to find someone with more expertise …

Imus:
You don’t know.

Historian Michael Beschloss:
What do you think it is?
