CURL: The president thinks you’re stupid (and so do ) …

ANALYSIS/OPINION:
** FILE ** President Obama delivers remarks about the ongoing situation in Syria in the Rose Garden of the White House on Saturday, Aug. 31, 2013, in Washington. Mr. Obama said that he has decided the United States should take military action against Syria in response to a deadly chemical weapons attack but that he will seek congressional authorization for the use of force. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)… the vice president, the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, everyone in Congress (even the dumbest guy there, Al Franken), the Supreme Court, the Washington media — enough, you get the picture, right? You’re Stupid.
How else to explain everything they do, much of what they say? They must think we’re all idiots or they simply wouldn’t do what they do, say what they say — it’s the only explanation.

Consider this: On Aug. 31, after dodging questions on Syria for more than a week, President Obama headed to the Rose Garden to give a 10-minute statement. He’d made some decisions, and he had to let America know right away — because this was urgent, URGENT!

“Now, after careful deliberation, I have decided that the United States should take military action against Syrian regime targets,” the president said about the then 10-day-old “chemical weapons” attack on civilians (he was on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard when the attack happened).

But wait, there’s more! Americans, he said, should get to speak about this burning issue, “And that’s why I’ve made a second decision ” he said, announcing he’d go to Congress for approval. He’s “ready to act!” to face down this immediate threat to America, he declared.

Then, he and Joseph R. Biden headed to the links for a five-hour round of golf. That’s right, they went golfing. The buck, apparently, stops with Congress, freeing up America’s top leaders for a little R&R.

What’s more, the day after Mr. Obama made this dire announcement, he jetted off to … Sweden! Yes, land of his Nobel Peace Prize. No, he did not cancel his tour through Scandinavia to work members of Congress for support. Instead, he headed to the Royal Institute of Technology to view the “First Commercially Viable Hybrid Solution for Trucks and Buses.” Important stuff.
