"You're Stupid"

CNBC's John Harwood, who also writes for the NY Times, appeared on MSNBC and answered a question about the uproar over Obama's speech to school children scheduled for next Tuesday morning:

I've been watching politics for a long time, and this one is really over the top. What it shows you is there are a lot of cynical people who try to fan controversy. And let's face it: in a country of 300 million people, there are a lot of stupid people too, because if you believe that it's somehow unhealthy for kids for the President to say, "Work hard and stay in school," you're stupid. In fact, I'm worried for some of those kids of those parents who are upset. I'm not sure they're smart enough to raise those kids.

Fantastic.
