Reply #1: I agree.

[Kierkegaard]

I can't understand how such a position of responsibility and authority can be occupied by a court jester with the mental capacity of a cantaloupe. Neither can I reconcile the notion that so few are even willing to acknowledge his ineptitude. Many that have the guts to comment on this 'folksy' behavior do so only in the name of giving him a pass, and for the most ludicrous of reasons...among them: "He's under a lot of pressure," "He's speaking from the heart and not off paper," and the granddaddy of 'em all, "He doesn't want to appear intellectually superior to his public."

Give me a ####ing break. As the saying goes, 'stupid is as stupid does.' This guy is not only vacuous, he's vile, arrogant and stubborn to boot. Could anyone possibly believe that this is the best we can bring to the presidency of this great country?
