He's not as stupid as you appear to think he is either. ;-) If you deliberately set about interpreting another person's point from the stupidest possible angle he could be coming fron, which is probably not the angle he's really coming from...then you'll make the mistake of assuming he's as stupid as you want him to be, in order that you can be "right" and he can be "wrong".

You're assuming that Akenaton just did that to you. And then you're doing it back to him.

The assumption is almost certainly incorrect in both cases.

And if you took a minute to think about that, I'm sure you could figure it out yourself. After all, you're not stupid, right?

His point is quite obvious....if one simply takes a little time to actually think about it, instead of just reacting against it with an immediate kneejerk counterattack.

His point is worth considering. It's not all-embracing, but it is a relevant factor in the situation, as to a motivation some people do have for favoring Obama more than they might favor someone else, given the same set of outward conditions.
