JENNIFER RUBIN: Obama Isn’t That Smart. “To be blunt, Obama suffers from a lifetime of others excessively praising his intellect. . . . The image of himself clashes with the results he achieves and the reaction he inspires. No wonder he’s so prickly. You’d be, too, if everyone your entire life had told you that you were swell but now, when the chips are down and the spotlight is on, you are failing so badly in your job.”
