Cannot Compute

Jonathan Horn at Ricochet takes note of a line in a speech President Obama gave yesterday at a campaign event (hell, it could've been an official White House stop and no one would've noticed any difference).  Here is the interesting snippet from the President's remarks:

And when enough of you knock on enough doors and pick up enough phones, and talk to your friends or your neighbors and your coworkers -- and you're doing it respectfully and you're talking to folks who don't agree with you, you're talking to people who are good people, but maybe they don't have all the information -- when you make that happen, when you decide it’s time for change to happen, you know what, change happens.  Change comes to America.  (Applause.)

So, those opposed to the President and his policies simply don't "have all the information."  In other words, they are just dumb.

But the implicit argument in this line is that one can know "all the information" -- after all, that really is the premise of the administrative state.  I think our President needs to read a good book on the subject.
