A I watched Obama's recent speech, he said something to the effect of "the people who know me, know that I'm smart enough not to tell everyone about the benefit of the website, had I known that the website wasn't working".

In other words, Obama's purpose here, was trying to convince us that he's not the idiot that 55% of us think he is.

Has there ever been a less dignified presidential moment in the last 30 years? All I could think of was that scene from the Godfather, when Fredo is telling his big brother Mike, in a scene that was almost as un-dignified and pathetic, that "I'm not dumb! I'm smart, and I want respect!"

That's our President...Fredo Corleone.
