"What numbskull in the White House arranged this?"

How many numbskulls does it take to change a light bulb in the Whitehouse?  The answer: at least two and one always is the President.

Does anyone believe that a person allegedly as “brilliant” as Barack Obama would mindlessly accept a speaking engagement handed to him by a scheduler?  Robert Reich wants us to believe just that. 

In case you forgot, Reich is listed in wickipedia.org as current Professor of Public Policy at the Goldman School of the University of California, Berkeley and political commentator on television’s Hardball with Chris Matthews and This Week with George Stephanopoulos to name merely two.  He also is said to have been a professor at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government and Brandeis University.  In addition, Robert has been an editor for The New Republic, Harvard Business Review, New York Times, and Atlantic magazines.  Finally, Reich served in the presidential administrations of Presidents Ford, Carter and Clinton.

The highly educated and accomplished Reich raised the numbskull issue when opposing the decision to have Barack Obama speak at a Mountain View, California Walmart, asking "What numbskull in the White House arranged this?”.  In doing so, Robert Reich was supporting organized labor who despises Walmart for their worker policies, but he could not be honest enough to blame Obama for the decision.

Now I’m no Robert Reich but I Googled “labor opposes Walmart” today and found 271,000 citations, the first of which was dated 2005.  I then performed the same search of “Robert Reich defends Obama” and got 2,940,000 hits.

I conclude that even Barack Obama should know how organized labor has felt about Walmart.  I further believe that Robert Reich, like most so-called Liberal intellectuals, is not liberal-minded but narrow-minded in his thinking about the President.  The intelligentsia check their IQs at the White House door.  They do not see Obama for who he is or what he does.  They wallow in and promote their fantasies about the Great and Powerful Oz.

Educated and accomplished Liberals never will help America if they remain irrevocably blinded by their biases. They are more interested in defending Obama, right or wrong, than in acknowledging simple truths. Given his double speak proficiency then, I strongly suspect that Robert Reich, like his elitist White House comrades, must have graduated magna cum laude from Numbskull University.
