Doh! The Smartest Man Alive ™ actually said that. With what we can only assume was a straight, yet smug, face.
President Obama’s campaign speech in Virginia today was full of fail, even right from the start.
In a prayer at start of Obama event, local pastor asks God to give Pres. Obama a second term "so he can finish his great visionary work."

Visionary! Oh, dear. Looks like that pastor had a sneak-peek viewing of the super creepy “The Obama Effect.” Of course, The One carried on along those same lines during the campaign speech today. Predictably, it was full of scorching narcissism. Journalist Mark Knoller tweeted all the hubris-y action.
Addressing overflow crowd before main speech, Pres Obama tells Virginia supporters "I'm going to need you more than ever in 2012."

He needs you! All about him, natch. Don’t disappoint him, or else.
Pres Obama begins campaign speech in Virginia Beach noting "negativity" and "cynicism" in campaign ads.
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) July 13, 2012
Negativity. Like smearing someone as a felon, perhaps? Irony is hard. So is speaking.
Obama's speaking now: "the reason was because…." Ugh! This is why he's at risk of losing to a felon.

A shout-out to his lapdogs at “lean forward” MSNBC!

Pres Obama says of tax cuts for the rich: we don’t need it, are least likely to spend it, and the government can't afford it.

The State comes first; Obama and his fellow travelers in a nutshell.
Pres Obama again accused Republicans of holding tax cuts for the middle class "hostage."
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) July 13, 2012
Ah, the old “hostage” line. Welcome back!
And then he finished up with the remark referenced earlier.

Duh. Say so long to term two, buddy.
Great re-election message, champ. MT @markknoller Obama slams Romney:"if you try something and it doesn’t work, why would you try it again?"

Indeed. Try again with a second term? We’ll pass.
