Even if any of this turns out to not be accurate, collectively, yes, we "are" stupid.

Looks like the fluff piece isn't exactly true, but those three have had dealings with Obama after their Fannie Mae debacle and are not in prison, so we are still just as stupid if we allow Obama to continue to be president.
