Mickey Kaus is sure, really sure, that President Zebra is smart, really smart

I’m sure Obama is smarter than this. He can’t be an executive who spends his days checking boxes,
accepting the choices presented by his aides, never reaching outside them through unconventional channels or reaching unconventional thinkers, never throwing over the framework with which he is presented. .... He’s asked to check a box saying whether he wants to fund his “child nutrition agenda” out of the money for community colleges. … He’s asked about including medical malpractice reform in his health care bill, and writes (“in his characteristicaly cautious and reasonable style”) that “we should explore it.” … He’s presented a plan for a watered-down tax on multinationals or a very watered down tax. He writes “worth discussing.” --What Does Barack Obama Do All Day ? New Yorker | The Daily Caller

Your Say

What has Obama done in the past three years that would let anyone think that he actually likes to do the governing part of being president? I can very easily see him doing this and believing it shows him to be a great decision maker, worthy of a B+.

This could actually be the source of his famous "some say...others say" strawman rhetorical device.
