Too smart for politics?
Even for DC's worshipful press corps, Washington Post scribe Dana Mil bank's latest column was a doozy.
Hoping to explain why the president appears to be an indecisive waffler, Milbank whelped this whopper:
Obama's too smart for his own good.
That's a new one. But is it true -- is Obama too bright to be president?
Milbank consulted his tea leaves -- and a few social scientists -- to help diagnose Obama's malady:
Genius in the extreme!
"I put Obama on the couch," Milbank wrote, "and came away with a reasonably coherent diagnosis: There's too much going on in the poor guy's head."
Obama's crime is that he's "the very model of the complex thinker" -- always weighing the pros and cons of each issue, like a modern-day King Solomon.
(That is, quite unlike O's troglodyte predecessor, George W. Bush, who was presumably too busy scrawling the Patriot Act on the walls of his cave.)
Quipped one quack: "What distinguishes Obama is the depth and carefulness of his thinking, which renders him somewhat unfit for politics."
Well, if not unfit for politics, then self-evidently unsuited to policy-making.
Still, who can know for sure?
But what if the prez were to release his long-hidden college transcripts?
Hmmm . . .
Oh, Donaaaaald!
He's right up there with that other way to smart President Jimmy Carter. See a pattern here?
