Barack Obama is a skilled speaker of prepared remarks and nobody would argue that he is an intelligent man.

But increasingly his statements betray a worldview that is so simplistic, so obvious and shallow, so unperturbed by self-examination or depth of thought that it makes one worry for the fate of the nation he leads. The following are just a few of the tenets of the puerile Obama worldview:

Kindergarten-Weltanschaaung.

#1 Everybody’s a fucking retarded racist

• Regarding the perceived anxiety of some Israelis toward Obama, the president declared this week that “some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion.” (Because God knows Israelis can afford to traffic in caricature and lazy generalizations.)
• While campaigning in early 2008, Obama described how Midwestern and small-town Americans’ affinity for guns and religion is inextricably tied to racism, xenophobia and general bitterness. I suppose that if you never spent any time with any such people, a pat conclusion like that would have its appeal.
• Around the same time, Obama characterized his grandmother, a “typical white person,” thusly:

If she sees somebody on the street that she doesn’t know – there’s a reaction in her that’s been bred into our experiences that don’t go away and sometimes come out in the wrong way and that’s just the nature of race in our society.

This man speaks with such authority, such knowingness, that you’d be forgiven for thinking he has any idea what the hell he’s talking about. He does not.

#2 Barack Obama’s captivating personal narrative is without equal in this world

• You may have thought the fall of the Berlin Wall was about the failure of communism or the triumph of individualism and freedom. You’d be wrong. It was about the inspiring and historic election of Barack Hussein Obama.
• Barack Obama calls himself the “first Pacific president.” A modicum of historical curiosity would quickly reveal how problematic that claim really is.

#3 Businesspeople are evil (unless they run money-losing social networking sites– in which case, Barack Obama is eager to hear what awesome advice they can give him)

• When asked why he hadn’t spoken to BP CEO Tony Hayward regarding the catastrophic Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Obama replied: “Because my experience is when you talk to a guy like a BP CEO, he’s going to say all the right things to me. I’m not interested in words. I’m interested in actions.”
• Nonetheless, Barack Obama seeks economic advice from terminally pre-revenue Twitter and thinks the CEO of Yelp can help streamline the federal government.

#4 Goodwill and a nod to multiculturalism will melt away the problems of the world

• The head of NASA recently revealed that the space agency’s new raison d’être is building self-esteem– and principally the self-esteem of Muslims. The “space” we’re “exploring” is evidently the absurd outer limits of political correctness– a space beyond even satire.
• In an address to the U.N. General Assembly last September, Barack Obama made the specious pronouncement that,

No one nation can or should try to dominate another nation.

Barack Obama makes statements of such boundless naivete that a third-grader would snicker.

Let us all hope our nation faces few great challenges before January 2013.
