Sununu on Obama: ‘When You’re Not That Bright You Can’t Get Better Prepared’

Another prejudiced older Republican white male?

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mitt Romney campaign co-chair and former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu (R) appeared on Fox News on Thursday and took a victory lap following last night’s first presidential debate.

Sununu described Obama’s performance as “babbling,” “lazy,” and “disengaged,” and dismissed the possibility that he could do better in the future. “When you’re not that bright you can’t get better prepared,” he said.

During a separate interview on MSNBC, Sununu doubled down on the characterization. “I think you saw him admit it the night before when he delivered the pizzas. He said, you know, they’re making me do this work. He didn’t want to prepare for this debate. He’s lazy and disengaged.”

Which is why he was fired by George Bush 21 years ago.

There must be no criticism of the Commander in Chief in a time of war.

It's great that Sununu said that. It's an insult to undecided voters and Obama supporters. Next he'll be saying how angry Obama is.

He's saying Americans are too stupid to know better than to elect a stupid President.

of Sununu and Willard and slung it right along with them. Seriously, we
would devolve into a third world political joke. The MSM needs to be held
accountable for allowing and encouraging the reality show standards that
have become the norm. Sununu is a repulsive and sickening excuse for
a human being.

take it back and asked him if he really meant that the President of the United States was lazy. He repeated it and she looked really disgusted. That seemed too far for even her. That was one big dog whistle.

It is race baiting at it's finest. I'd like to see a web ad go up with a collection of the quotes these two have made this year.

Then use the line "Mitt Romney, what a guy!"

I'll see if I can find it - I watched it a few days ago. Not sure if it was Maddow, Ed Shultz or Lawrence O'Donnell.

Gingrich was the worst offender. There was a series of clips where he used the following words about Obama: basketball, lazy, rhythm, etc. Over and over again.
