He is smarter than anyone in the room.*

* except maybe Helen.

1. It's so refreshing to have a president who is intelligent and articulate.

[sellitman]

2. Maybe moreso than anyone since JFK.

He sure is a breath of fresh air.

3. egg zack LEE

Damn he is smart!

It is so nice to have a President who is smarter than me ...... and that is a very low bar.

[BlooInBloo]

4. We said it all along: We wanted the smartest motherfucker in the room...

And we're reaping the benefits of it now.

[skooooo]

6. That's right!!!

:loveya:

[cliffordu]

12. Yep. Eggsactly right.

I have to stop agreeing with you - people are talking...

[LiberalFighter]

5. Why do you think it is so easy to be a reporter? Besides there can be one and only one President.

[ZombieHorde]

7. May he rest in piece.

God bless Gary Gygax.

[Nevernose]

9. And Dave Arneson, too.

Are you replying to the right thread, though, or did I miss something.

[ZombieHorde]

13. The OP is obviously about Gygax. nt

[Nevernose]

15. That OP was about either Obama or Arneson

But it definitely wasn't about Gygax. Gary was the money man, Dave was the brains Or maybe that's what you were trying to say? Should I start smoking pot again? I'm so confused!

(And although I don't smoke pot anymore, I still miss rolling a dodecahedron once in a while)

[sellitman]

16. I was talking about Obama.

and Lady Helen!

[ZombieHorde]

17. No, I am pretty sure your OP is about Gygax. nt

[Nevernose]

8. Are they screaming yet about how Obama can't talk w/o a teleprompter?

That one just drives me frigging NUTS. Does he sound like a professional actor (full of shit) or a right wing talk show host (so deep in shit they're breathing it)?

No.

Does he sound like he knows what the hell he's talking about? More than any president I've heard lately.

[csziggy]

14. I'd bet that tomorrow 'they' will be complaining that Obama has to take notes on questions!

And play a clip of him taking notes on that four part question:

Jeff Zeleny.

QUESTION: Thank you, Mr. President.

During these first 100 days, what has surprised you the most about this office? Enchanted you the most from serving in this office? Humbled you the most? And troubled you the most?

OBAMA: Now let me write this down.



OBAMA: I’ve got...

QUESTION: Surprised, troubled...

OBAMA: I’ve got — what was the first one?

QUESTION: Surprised.

OBAMA: Surprised.

QUESTION: Troubled.

OBAMA: Troubled.

QUESTION: Enchanted.

OBAMA: Enchanted, nice.

(LAUGHTER)

QUESTION: And humbled.

OBAMA: And what was the last one, humbled?

10. And that's how it should be.

For eight long years I had to grit my teeth and listen to Bush the buffoon kill the English language and smirk his way through the paltry pressers he'd have.

I'm actually glad that we have a president who is smart and articulate.

[FrenchieCat]

11. Thank the Lord!
