Oh Boy — The White House Calls Obama Intellectually Lazy
By Eric Kleefeld - September 24, 2007, 11:08AM

People who live in glass houses...

A senior White House official has offered this critique of Barack Obama:

As for Obama, a senior White House official said the freshman senator from Illinois was "capable" of the intellectual rigor needed to win the presidency but instead relies too heavily on his easy charm.

"It's sort of like, 'that's all I need to get by,' which bespeaks sort of a condescending attitude towards the voters," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "And a laziness, an intellectual laziness."

1. That's a conservative value, ergo the white house loves him?

[Sparkly]

6. True! They must have meant it as a compliment! nt

[uppityperson]

13. Maybe they're planning on recruiting him for the repubs?

[applegrove]

2. Projection!

[quiet.american]

15. Bingo! n/t

[rodeodance]

3. gawd. just when I think I have heard it all, then comes crapola like this.

[liberal N proud]

4. And war is peace?

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

5. get yer rainslickers HERE

All the exploding heads will make DU look like a Gallagher concert.

:popcorn:

[sakabatou]

7. Mirror, mirror on the wall

Who's the laziest monkey of them all?

[fenriswolf]

8. well if obama is

intellecutally lazy i guess that makes bush a brain dead moron, how long are the reporters and journalists going to pander to this administration when everyone is waking up as to what a shit hole we are in and the fact that we are held in check by this criminal government and the lapdog media.

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. If the repugs didn't have projection, they wouldn't be able to speak a single word.

[frankieT]

10. I need a copy of the dictionary they're using

If Obama is INTELLECTUALLY LAZY, what word can describe Bush/Cheney intellectual capabilities...

[Canuckistanian]

11. Amazing what they're doing to the male candidates

They're either trying to plant the idea that they're all empty-headed pretty boys or ignoring them as totally irrelevant.

They're probably doing it because, with the exception of Romney, their candidates are a homely bunch.

[JitterbugPerfume]

12. If Obama is "intellectually lazy"

which I do not believe for a minute ,at least he has an intellect to be lazy with unlike our present "person in charge"

[Cuauhtla]

16. My opinion...

...of Obama's intellect is exactly opposite that of the WH. It's his rationality even more than his positivity that appeals to me, and both are in stark contrast to the Cheney Administration.

[Captain Hilts]

14. Back off!!!! Here comes a bolt of lightening! nt

[cooolandrew]

17. I am gonna be frank Obama is a good motivater but is still saying very little.....

... I more than anyone wanted Barack to be the man with the plan but sadly no plan or at least a clearly defined one.

[BlooInBloo]

18. Hmm.... wonder how they'll work in the words "big dick"?

[AndyA]

19. Well, if anyone would be able to identify an intellectually lazy individual,

I would expect the White House to be able to do it.

They have one in the Oval Office right now.

And if they want to identify an intellectually lazy, moronic, arrogant, self centered, drug addicted, corrupt, hypocritical, bigoted, lying, egotistical, insane person, that same guy in the Oval Office will do just fine.

[pansypoo53219]

20. everything out of georgie seems

to be useful to use, 'i know you are, but what am i?'. everything he says somebody else is, he is describing himself!

[rateyes]

21. That guy HAD to be talking about Dubya....

talk about irony.

[PDenton]

22. This from the administration

That thinks picture books about goats are challenging reading?

You know all those Pollack jokes? They are really about George Bush. Only his brain could think of gynecologists practicing their love on women, or man and fish coexisting peacefully. George Bush is the best anti-drug commercial ever envisioned. "Son, don't do drugs... or you'll end up like me. Tee-heeh heh".

[dancingme]

23. but he's CLEAN and ARTICULATE

:party:

[lonestarnot]

24. And fuck you anonymous. Hmmmf!

[tanyev]

25. Let me make sure I've got this straight.

Someone who works for GEORGE BUSH has said that Obama is intellectually lazy and relies too heavily on his easy charm. Hellooooooo?

[Warren DeMontague]

26. Let me guess. They called him "Intellectually Shiftless", too.

"However, we suspect he's very musical, and we bet he can really dance."

"...what?"

[Cleita]

27. Or in the spirit of the pot calling the kettle black. n/t

[Orsino]

28. This is a pretty naked cry for help...

...a frank admission that no one on the GOP ticket could muster anything like Obama's charisma. We Dems aren't playing fair.
