Carter "smart"? Obama "smart"?
Seriously, the claim that Carter or Obama are "smart" is pretty painful,
considering their actions. Anyone who supports socialist ideas can't
be too bright - unless they're evil and cynical, like Lenin.
Smart people know that socialism will never work because it cannot
work.
So if Obama thinks that government health care works, he's pretty
stupid. And if he doesn't believe that it will actually do what he says
but that it will make him popular anyway, he's evil.
Of course it's entirely possible to be evil AND stupid.
