    Fortunately, Mr Obama is smarter than his critics on the left. Which is why he can throw them a milkbone and accomplish his goals without a bunch of left wing critics getting in the way.

    -- ehillesum

    You know how smart Obama is?

    You know who his critics are?

    You know how smart they are?

    You know that what his [Obama's] goals are?

    You know what a "left wing critic" is?

    And, finally, you know that Obama sees his "critics" as "getting in the way" as opposed to adding to the converastiion?

    In short: Better trolls, please!
