No, not my words but I do think they fit:
Yet, I’ve always suspected that Obama has a gear in reserve, one he’s never been called on to display given the desire of so many to anoint him on sight (I assume his Harvard law professors called on him to display his full intellect, but we don’t know his law school grades). First gear will suffice with David Letterman and his audience. Second gear was always good enough for the mainstream media.
But after the Letterman interview and his chat with Prince Harry, perhaps it’s time for me to conclude that Obama has no gear beyond second. Perhaps it’s time for me to accept Rich Lowry’s assessment:
[T]he deepest truth about Obama is that there is no depth. He’s smart without being wise. He’s glib without being eloquent. He’s a celebrity without being interesting. He’s callow.
And that of Kevin Williamson:
Barack Obama doesn’t speak a foreign language or play a musical instrument, exhibits no sign that any great book has left a mark upon his mind, has never, so far as the printed word can document, uttered an original thought or put forth an interesting idea.
Perhaps it’s time for me to conclude that Obama is too fixated on himself and his image to be other than shallow.
What, his “bitter clingers to their Bibles and guns” wasn’t an original idea? Or don’t put downs don’t count (he was pretty good at those)? What if the design for his “library” pretty much sums him up?
Note: it has been compared to the back end of a Star Wars At-At (the “stilts high walking tank”) that I have seen on some Conservative sites but it seems Google is censoring it (“‘Don’t Be Evil’? Google is becoming a Police State“).
