Subscribe to RSSIowa's senior senator and prolific Tweeter, Republican Chuck Grassley, sent a harshly worded message Saturday that intentionally slighted the president.
Aides say Grassley personally Tweeted: "Constituents askd why i am not outraged at PresO attack on supreme court independence. Bcause Am ppl r not stupid as this x prof of con law."
While Grassley's Twitter account had been previously hacked, this time the use of the word "stupid" was his own. Aides say, "The Tweet is Sen. Grassley's. He is saying that it doesn't speak well of any constitutional law professor to not understand Marbury v Madison. The people understand the independence of the judiciary. So he thinks most Americans are smarter on the Constitution."
In a second Tweet, Grassley wrote,"Possibility of peace and freedom for Syria gets more remote as PresO plays along w the farce of Kofi Annans negotiatios (sic) there Barack wakeup."

Duh....
Don't know Grassley from grass, but it seems to me that incompetence and stupidity are color blind. My take is the O picked his VP to make himself look like a genius. Smart move, but most of my socks have a higher IQ than BiteMe, so only the Sheeple are gonna follow that "logic".
"Run Forrest RUN!!!!"
DOC: Yea, too bad Obama didn't pick a winner like draft dodging Dick Cheney. You know, the guy who said "Deficits don't matter" and that we were just sure to find WMD's in Iraq cause it was a "slam dunk". Now that's what I call smarts.
George W. Bush delivered a long formal speech criticizing the judicial branch of government for unwarranted activism. President Obama made a few comments for exactly the same issue. That was enough to flip the elephant, just as it did when Republican proposals were combined into the Affordable Health Care Act.
The entire Republican Party has been "for it, before they were against it" on countless issues. The reason is partisan, not American. They want to rule it or ruin it when it comes to government. The effect would be the same either way.

true, but i dont think bush lied like obama did in his dissention speech did he? obama keep saying "unprecedented this, unprecedented that" as far as overturning all or part of a law. nevermind that there are over 150 rulings by the scotus that have upheld or not the constitutionality of laws in the past. i think he's being called out for the lie, not his dissenting view. but your smarter than me so i guess i defer. #backflip
He isnt any worse then the @!$%# that was there eight yrs before him
With 4 more years, I think you will see otherwise.
I would bet Barry doesn't even know how to tweet. That is stupid!
Well , we all learned something from all this mess ....
"Community Organizers" don't make good presidents ....
Still hung up on the "community organizer" deal I see.
Tell me what is not honorable about graduating from the most prestigious law school in the nation and instead of joining a high powered law firm to make the big bucks, which any Republican would certainly do, Obama volunteers to work in the inner city to give something back to the community. In your eyes this is something to be ashamed of??? I do realizing that with the Right it's ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY but some people are able to think beyond dollars, a philosophy incomprehensible to you.
It's okay Ben...the GOP will eventually get elected to 'something' again...they will have to find their humanity first however...could take awhile.
As the saying goes, it could be true, lets see if Obama slaps Grassleys hands like he would if a common citizen were to publicly post it or say it on tv, I would bet that nothing comes of it.
Good for the Senator...at least he believe in calling a "spade a spade".
...and I and how many millions believe he's absolutely right in saying that Obama is stupid and I might add one of my own and that would "lunatic"
Okay dumbas*...lets call a spade a spade...
Who is the 'spade' now ya hypocritical neanderthal?
What a maroon.
Nice choice of words, you racist pig. Who cares what you believe? You are the lunatic.
Okay, you can call a "spade" a spade. Funny choice of words, isn't that? So, I feel okay calling you and those supposed many millions like you JACKASSES! Why can't you guys realize that your time has passed? You are going the way of the dinosaur and thank God for that. I just hope and pray that you're sterile, we don't need one more generation taught to "think" the way you do.
I don't think the right really thinks Obama is stupid; they are just terrified of the changing face of the country. The party of "male,pale and stale" feels the country slipping from their control and they are desperate to keep it. It's sad to see people so driven by fear.
navy vet you are right it started with clinton and both parties are responsible and for sure it is not going to be republicans to bring those regulatons back !! it will not be the dems either because they are all into big bussiness period !!!!
As I always told my children, you don't have to like a person but some positions require respect. With my children I was talking about teachers but it equally applies here. If you cannot respect the position, then it is time for you to leave.
Proves that Republicans don't lie.
I think Sen. Grassley was being kind ....
best post today.
kind of Stupid?
kind of Idiotic?
kind of Hypocritical?
kind of Childish?
kind of Old Bitter White Man who hopefully will be booted come November?
Which is it Ben...?
Kind of SPOT ON!
Stupid: Pushing through $500 Million dollar loan to a solar pannel company that can never compete with China.
$500 million ....
Pooooooof ....
That solar panel loaned was okayed by Bush..it was already in the works. Obama made the mistake of letting it go through. He should have taken the time to go through every piece of crap Bush signed before letting anything pass or go through. Now what?
oldlady, like you said it was obammie's mistake. Thank you for clarifing that point.
Good call.
WH finds new thresholds for the word pathetic every day.
The task of the high court is simple. Compare the law to the mandates and
guide lines of the constitution. Down to this point in time they have not done a
very good job. Lets hope Bammer spurs them on to a just decision in this case.
Never before has a U.S. President been treated with such disrespect. it's appalling. The Republicans/Conservatives do not even attempt to conceal their overt racism.
Obama's debt and deficit is a disaster for all Americans ....
Grassley was being very graceful becaue he should have called him a blatant liar. I can't remember the last time Obama gave a speech that didn't have a half-truth or a boldfaced lie in it.
I guess you were asleep from 2001-2009 Rip Van Suzanne. As I state below, mindless sheep that have short memories.
suzanne, never before has America had a person sitting in the white house that has deserved less respect, not even Carter deserved less.
oh, a wise guy aayy.... nik..nik..nik......
Anybody, and i mean ANYBODY, that is seriously ignorant enough to pull the race card out for Obama, has voided their argument. The minute number of people that actually do disrespect Obama because he is black, have also voided their argument. The disapproval of Obama stems from the lack of support he has shown for America as a nation and as a society of people. He has done nothing to reunite the people of this nation, as we can all see from the brutal comments on these articles. It also stems from his support for enforcing a military state here in America, and supporting bills that censor internet usage for the masses, regardless of the reason. The top issue at the moment that the disappoval stems from is his support for a bill that requires the purchase of a product in direct response to your own existence. There is a reason why there is a high volume of uninsured Americans, and its the result of them not being able to afford it, and no matter how "affordable' you try to make the insurance policies, the uninsured still wont be able to afford it because the economy is collapsing. Dont fix the effect of the cause, fix the cause itself and the effect will change on its own.
He's watching a wrecking ball destroy everything it touches ... I think "stupid" showed respect and restraint.
Obama is not stupid. He is arrogant. He, Pelosi and Reid exist because of the stupidity of their supporters that can't see through their lies. The Progressives have always been arrogant, that they feel they are more intelligent than the rest of the populace, and want you to follow them like sheep. Thats why Obamacare was written behind closed doors by this cabal, when the Dems and Repubs working working on a compromise bi-partisan bill. And then they gave them 3 days to review 2,700 pages before the vote. That alone is why I want this bill killed. That is not Democracy oh el Presidente', that you stated in your threat to the court. That is dictatorship to be rubberstamped.
Grassley was pulling his punches calling him stupid. Obama lies nearly every time he gives a speech, but everyone is too respectful of the office to call him on it.
When a government creates a health care plan that protects the profits for insurance companies over the well being of its citizens, do any of you actually believe you are going to get health care services and treatments at the expense of that profit?
After all. the health care crises in this country was created by those same insurance companies that created it so they could protect their profits.
Health care is defined as a Humanitarian need of people, not a profit for an insurance company.
If you don't believe me or don't accept this definition of health care, then the next time you need medical services or treatments, might I suggest you drive to your insurance company's local office for that medical treatment or service.
Obama wants regulate our health care but will not regulate banks .He knows the axis of evil hates banks and they know how to short them out of existance. Regulation makes our banks our banks not their bank. connect the dots.
Pot calling the kettle black.
Hey Chuck...it takes one to know one...
I'm waiting for your next post to read, "And your mother wears combat boots."
The Senators comment pretty well confirms that it is in fact Senator Grassley who is a little short on the IQ meter. I suspect the Senator feels that insulting the President will somehow avoid the fact that the President will carry Iowa thus embarrassing Grassley because he cannot deliver his state to the Republican Candidate. I sure that Grassley doesn't care what I think, but maybe he should care what his home state citizens think, the same ones who voted for the President in the last election.
