The President Isn't Puzzled So Stop Being Puzzled By His Puzzlement

From Obama's latest presser:
“As you will recall, this was originally bipartisan legislation that some of the Republican supporters of decided to vote against when I said I supported it — that seems to be a pattern that I’m still puzzled by.”
He's not puzzled.

But he wants more Americans to be puzzled, so he points out that it's puzzling.

See how easy and obvious that is? Not exactly nth dimensional chess -- unless you're, you know, really stupid or blinkered.

In fact, I'll go so far as to say the President wouldn't mind at all if more Americans became so puzzled by this puzzling behavior of Republicans that they started being puzzled more generally about why they ever voted for these freaks or allowed, through not voting otherwise, these freaks to be elected in the first place.

So, stop being puzzled about the President being puzzled if you really are puzzled about it for whatever reason and become more puzzled instead at your own puzzling conduct for once, and ideally puzzled enough to do something for a change.
