Good response. Whatever Obama's actual level of intelligence, I would say that he is handicapped by thinking that he is smarter than he is. They say that he always feels that he is the smartest person in the room. This is a bad character trait and always hurts people, even if they are smart.

Palin, I think, does not harbor these feelings. She has character, she has honesty, she trusts herself -- and she does not expect to have the right answer 100% of the time (that's why advisers are hired).

Thanks. He is very arrogant. He is also handicapped by his beliefs in failed doctrines which include the idea that government is the solution.
