In Rubio's case, it's an especially convenient narrative because it deflects from the opposite idea that Obama is incompetent and was unprepared to take office. That would be a difficult argument for Rubio to make without undermining his own credibility as a candidate, for obvious reasons.

Aha! And there it is...

His ears are really red. I think he just overheated.

The oddest thing is that Rubio seems to be claiming that Obama despite his limited resume, given his ends, had superb judgment and skill in reaching them, and was most competent, and if only he had agreed with Rubio's world view, he would have been the next best to Abraham Lincoln? He was a fail sole because he had the wrong ends. Really? And of course the dumbs in the press don't get to this little point at all. The press folks should all be fired, and replaced with smart lawyers. Most of them are just pathetic.

And there you have it.

Anyone disagree? I thought not. Thanks for listening.

He's dog-whistling a common conservative conspiracy theory which overlaps with the idea that Obama's values somehow deviate from the American mainstream. Romney was doing something similar with his line about Obama wanting to "fundamentally transform" the country. Gingrich tried to make the case outright when he bewildered all but the most clued-in primary voters with the Saul Alinsky references.

In Rubio's case, it's an especially convenient narrative because it deflects from the opposite idea that Obama is incompetent and was unprepared to take office. That would be a difficult argument for Rubio to make without undermining his own credibility as a candidate, for obvious reasons.

No lawyers covering the news, please, I prefer journalists who know how to write.

That is not a very nice thing to say. Sad

He seems like he desperately wants to be the Republican Obama, but doesn't know how.

Hey, here you are!! How are Bush and Fiorina doing?? Are you predicting the imminent downfall of Donald J. TRUMP 6 months after you predicted it for the 1st. time??

I'm impressed your post was a one-liner, BTW. I'd got used to only skimming along your posts.
