From the Carpetbagger Report:
The Illinois senator is running for president, vowing to undo Bush’s mistakes. But of all the possible criticisms for the president’s team to make, this might be the single most ridiculous.
As for Obama, a senior White House official said the freshman senator from Illinois was “capable” of the intellectual rigor needed to win the presidency but instead relies too heavily on his easy charm.

“It’s sort of like, ‘that’s all I need to get by,’ which bespeaks sort of a condescending attitude towards the voters,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. “And a laziness, an intellectual laziness.”
Yes, the pot is calling the kettle lazy. The audacity. Of all the possible disparagements, the Bush White House wants to accuse Barack Obama of “intellectual laziness”? Seriously?
I expect nothing different from the ignorant White House staff or Bush/Cheney. Educated smart people scare this Administration. I'd like to see Senator Obama stand next to the President of Iran and have a conversation. Sweet!
