The Color of Stupid

Wow, just when you think you have encountered Stupid in every color visible to the human eye, bam! Some idiot shows up with Uninformed Opinions, lowering the definition of Stupid to a whole new level. Most popular case in point, our beloved president: two guys seen doing what looks like a break-in. Police respond. Harvard law professor who broke into his own home - because he what, lost his keys? - is arrested after refusing to show ID and getting semi-hostile with police officer. The professor is a buddy of the POTUS. So Oblama, unappraised of the facts, calls the police officer (and EVERY police officer) "stupid" because he arrested the professor.

Here's the twist. Obama was playing a race card, implying that police officers all do some kind of racial profiling, and oppress the black man. He brought Color to Stupid. In so doing, he insulted every honest, hard-working policeman in the country, men and women YOU WANT TO SHOW UP when you call 911. He called them stupid by virtue of their role.

There's national leadership for you. Actually, what that is is the un-teleprompter-governed blathering of a novice who wants the world to be color-blind while he is the farthest thing from it. What a national embarassment. But, I ask myself on that note: how is today different from any other? Oh yeah, it's not.

Thanks for playing.
