Obama's Wordiness - The Root Cause

Alot of sites are talking about Obama's 17 minute response to a simple question by a worker at a battery factory last week.

Why does this happen so much?

Mr. President, I won't do as you did and give a 17 minute answer. It happens because you're just so damn smart that you are compelled to convince us how damn smart you are.

Wow, you're really smart. Don't I know that? Sheesh, I guess I should just pack it in. After all, you're so damn smart and all.

Typical left-wing windbag BS. They are just so much smarter than you or I -- and they must prove it every chance they get. Of all the vices of a politician that I despise, pretentiousness has to be at the top of the list.
