Let's keep electing dummies!  They'll certainly get something done, even if it drives our economy into the ground!

Bob, at some point, you're going to have to start thinking about things.  You apparently have no idea about why Obama hasn't been able to accomplish even the things that he has tried to accomplish.  And I'm not defending him.  I'm simply trying to get you to think about things rather than continue to skim along the surface, where your ridiculous criticisms and ideas might seem to make sense, even though any meager analysis of them reveals them to be completely worthless.

If you want to solve problems, you're going to have to learn to understand the problems first.  Just because a dummy can be used by underlings who are smarter than he is to achieve a lot of their goals does not mean that it's a good thing to have dummies in charge.  You should always want the absolute smartest person to be in charge, as long as that person is qualified and has good motives, even if you disagree with some of his or her policies.  And if you disagree with a lot of those policies but the alternative is Palin or Bush or [name any popular Republican here], then you still must vote for the smarter person.

To do otherwise is simply irresponsible.  No matter what you want, the government -- and the world -- is more complicated than you think.  It takes a smart person to deal with it.  Electing anyone of Palin's or Bush's or McCain's or Boehner's or ... limited abilities is courting further disaster.

And no matter what you think, Obama has kept us out of the pit of doom in which Republicans want to bury us.
