Then in that spirit, I am wondering if Obama should call out by name, folks like Limbaugh and Hannity when he states his disdain for the blogs and intensely slanted talk shows. Do you think he does so by design so as to keep these folks in the foreground to embarrass some in the Republican party who are trying to run away from them?

You think he and Ax are closeted in a room rejoicing at the turmoil within the Republican party a la Crist/Rubio, Senator Bennet etc. After all, a divided opposition is a weakened opposition which obviously strengthens this Administration.

My question: Is US politics moving away from that of personal destruction to one where it is destruction of groups and organizations.

Just a start for discussing the politics of the moves of this Administration.

>>In my subsequent posts, you'll see that my view is that labels like "smart" or stupid tend to be used by people that agree or disagree with a person's philosophy -- becoming POTUS is an impressive accomplishment for anybody and is not something that is achieved by a lazy or unintelligent person.<<

I'm sure you'd agree, however, that there have been presidents who were more intelligent and some who were less intelligent.
