Stupidly/Stupid

Oh, I just can't bite back my tongue (that's how Richard Thompson says it) any longer.
Yes, I like Obama. Full disclosure: I voted for him.
Today I watched with glee as he called a spade a spade. No matter how you slice it, the police in Cambridge acted stupidly. I've even blogged about racial profiling on this, my mostly apolitical blog.
And yet, when Obama starts to talk about folks going to a primary care doc with a sore throat and alluding to the public that they could fall prey to doctors who will yank the tonsils to make a buck, he's stupid. Primary care doctors don't even remove tonsils. That's done by an Ear Nose and Throat specialist. Was Obama winging it or did his adviser take the day off? Please, when you are trying to triumph yourself as the answer to our health care crisis, don't let that tongue get so loosey-goosey in areas where you have absolutely no content knowledge.
There, and now I feel better. And it was free--the insurance company ain't getting a penny off this.
But I'm not finished yet, while we're talking adverbs. If the police acted stupidly, how is it that the students in the audience today in Ohio were dressed "good." He said, "I didn't dress that good when I was your age." Wince.
Can we get the prompter back?
