Those of us even slightly more endowed are nothing short of ecstatic. On alternate days a few of my own brain neurons fire correctly, but indifference and worse yet hate of President Obama is beyond the understanding of our wisest. Well, even if you know why, it still makes no sense. At least some of his more prominent enemies must know better, and that makes it even worse.
