An Amalgamation of 3 Different Conversations I Had with People This Weekend In Virginia

"Obama still scares the shit out of me, but at least he's choosing smart people around him."
"Well. Isn't that what smart people do?"
"He knows he's not smart enough, and needs help."
"Really?"
"That's right."
"Wouldn't that make him smart?"
"What?"
"Thinking he's not smart enough. Wouldn't someone hafta be smart to recognize that in the first place?"
"No. He knows he's in over his head."
"Well. He did go to Harvard."
"Thanks to af-"
(all together) "affirmative action, right, right." (me, bemused smile)
