We can no doubt be forgiven for guessing that The Greatest President In History borrowed a couple of the admen from the old Guinness commercials to write the mainstream media’s latest talking points.
After all, faced with a decision to replace the commanding general in Afghanistan that amounted to the equivalent of “hit yourself in the face with a shovel” versus “don’t hit yourself in the face with a shovel”, Obama has been hailed as brilliant by countless liberal media shills journalists for choosing the don’t hit yourself option.
So we can all count ourselves “brilliant” for remembering to wear pants this morning even if we were supposed to wear pants. Or for remembering to pick up our kids from school. Just brilliant.
Is it just us or has the bar for brilliance dropped just a tad since the last presidential election?

The "Anointed Ones" belief that a new General will take care of the Afghanistan problem is BRILLIANT - NOT!!!!
One teeny, tiny problem --- it ain't gonna happen unless the entire philosophy on which the strategy is based changes.
WARNING: The following contains some serious observations and some sarcasm. Libtards may disregard this notice - you won't know the difference anyway.
Hey, ass-kickin' Prez-bro, check this out:
You gotta see the Afghans as being like Chi-town gangs. Their identity is with the gang, not with the city, state or nation. Afghans are tribalistic, not nationalistic. They're loyal to the tribal chief, not some US puppet in Kabul. If you wanna kick ass in Afghanistan you gotta first figure out how to get all the gangs in Chi-town united under one chief that's loyal to you. If you can figure out how to do that, then you can win in Afghanistan. If you can't, then you gonna look like some dumb-ass Tom with a white-boy college degree.
Here's a way to use your talents - go over there and organize their communities. You know the words that work. Just make sure you bring along a generator - no electricity in the mountains to run your teleprompters.
Amen brother. The place is a s**thole and we were foolish to think we could do what the ruskies (and everybody else) couldn't do.
I propose one of two strategies: 1) exit immediately or, 2) carpet bomb with nukes. Fighting there is like sticking your hand under a rock while trying to catch a rattlesnake.
With the msm, such "luminaries" as Maddow, Mathews and Olberman are considered "brilliant pundits". With that in mind, we can come to the conclusion that the liberal definition of "definition" is: the formal statement of the meaning or significance of a word, phrase, etc., in accordance with the intellectual level and political party affiliation of said word, phrase, etc.
Brilliant.
