More and more I’m convinced that we shouldn’t describe Obama as the smartest man in the room but, more accurately, as not being the sharpest knife in the drawer:
On his recently concluded first visit to Mexico as president, a week after telling Europeans that his country had been at times arrogant, President Barack Obama blamed his own country for providing 90% of Mexico’s recovered crime guns.
According to a report by the independent FactCheck.org this afternoon, that’s incorrect. By a, uh, long shot.
The president’s assertion, also cited by Mexican President Felipe Calderon during their joint news conference in Mexico City, and the reported inaccuracy seems likely to fuel the eternal American gun-control debate, especially as it relates to the U.S. role in Mexico’s deadly drug world.
Which, of course, is why the left has created the talking point – they want an excuse for gun control and as Mexico spirals further out of control, gun control could be imposed as a national-security issue (“we have to ban these guns to protect Americans living on the border from being killed by Mexican gangs armed with US weapons”, or some such nonsense). The problem is not really the talking point – as far as lefty lies goes, this is just regular stuff – the problem comes in when we have a President of the United States who lacks enough wit to have a BS-detector strong enough to realize that some lies are so enormously stupid that only a lefty will believe them. In other words, all Obama did was allow the corrupt and incompetent Mexican government lay the blame for violence on us, while making himself look like a fool to any American with the sense God gave little, white mice (which, of course, excludes liberals, for the most part).
We’ve got Jimmy Carter on dimwit steroids here, boys and girls…
