Eugene Robinson is an idiot.

Just when I want to give some lefty op-ed columnist the benefit of the doubt, they go and write something so colossally stupid. Damn you Eugene!

Read the article if you must; it's nothing more than the standard "conservatives hate America because we think Obama winning the Nobel Prize is an embarrassment" line. In other words, rank stupidity.

He sums up his idiocy in the last paragraph:

What I really don't understand is the view that somehow there's a tremendous downside for Obama in the award. It raises expectations, these commentators say -- as if expectations of any American president, and especially this one, were not already sky-high. Obama has taken on the rescue of the U.S. financial system and the long-term restructuring of the economy. He has launched historic initiatives to revolutionize health care, energy policy and the way we educate our children. He said flatly during the campaign that he wants to be remembered as a transformational president.

Yeh, you don't understand it because you're an idiot. Each of those things will be horrendous for America's well-being. Obama is "transformational" alright. He's transforming the once great United States of America into a third-world banana republic, complete with a purely fascist economy, soviet-style health care and rank indoctrination of children.

Wonderful.  

Eugene Robinson: Just another Obama water-carrier.

And I thought you were different.
