LAT Columnist: Obama's Too Smart to Speak Clearly, or Something
May 26th, 2011 12:05 PM
Liberals are quite fond of chalking up President Obama's shortcomings to his near-inhuman intelligence. His repeated failures to offer policies that are both popular and successful are routinely written off as failures in "messaging."
