Obama is smarter than, well, everyone.

It's not you, it's me.  Me, me, me!

President Obama won't listen to his lawyers. He's too smart for that.  He knows more than them because he taught law.  In fact, he knows more than anyone as it turns out.  The president also won't listen to his generals either.

Barack Obama is set to reject the advice of the Pentagon by announcing on Wednesday night the withdrawal of up to 30,000 troops from Afghanistan by November next year, in time for the US presidential election.

The move comes despite warnings from his military commanders that recent security gains are fragile. They have been urging him to keep troop numbers high until 2013.

The press will tell you he doesn't need to listen to his experts because he's always the smartest one in the room, unlike previous (Republican) presidents who had to sometimes rely on subject matter experts.

The thing is, if one man is making all the decisions, isn't that a little bit like a dictatorship?
