A few years back I worked with a guy who was probably a genius. In fact, he often struggled in life interacting with people because his brain simply performed at a higher level than the average person. I remember asking him what his biggest belief was in making life decisions and he always, without fail, told me “think of the bigger picture.” And while I’ve always tried to be a big picture thinker, knowing him when I did helped me understand it a little better.
He always told me the biggest issue he faced when dealing with people was that he’d see things in a bigger scope that most people simply couldn’t follow. While many people tend to not see beyond a particular moment, day, week or even month, he operated with a sense of “is what I’m doing now the best course of action to set me up for success not just now, but later on.” He used to tell me people would come to him for advice every once in a while and often walk away angry because what they wanted to hear wasn’t usually what they needed to hear. He was actually one of the first people who made me aware of the fairly obvious (though I was young and had never really thought about it) human characteristic of adoring people who tell them what they want to hear, or what they understand, while condemning those who don’t. Most people really just want to be assured of what they hope will happen rather than take a good long look at what’s best for themselves in the long run.

‘Uh...um...let me be clear!’
‘Period!’
I don’t want to understand him—I just want him out!
‘Uh...um...let me be clear!’......uh....er....I can’t see the teleprompter.....
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! His brain in what he sits on and nothing upstairs except a worn out record.
“he often struggled in life interacting with people”
the jails are full up with geniuses.
I don’t know about his point because I didn’t get that far. I can say this much, however; Allen Clifton is a lousy writer.
I just found out about this today!
And he’s still subject to the law of gravity.
That's our belief, ass clown, which is why we opposed it from the start. I guess we are able to see the big picture, after all.
“After graduating from Princeton, Cruz attended Harvard Law School, graduating magna cum laude in 1995 with a Juris Doctor degree.[2][38] While at Harvard Law, Cruz was a primary editor of the Harvard Law Review, and executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, and a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review.[7] Referring to Cruz’s time as a student at Harvard Law, Professor Alan Dershowitz said, “Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant.”[19][39][40][41][42][43] At Harvard Law, Cruz was a John M. Olin Fellow in Law and Economics.[44]”. (Excerpt Wiki)
You say Obama is brilliant? Show us anything he has ever done that demonstrates an extraordinary level of intelligence.
Obama is so smart that he needed a TelePrompTer to speak with a kinderarten class.

I’ll bet he can roll a joint with one hand and a snap of his fingers.
I’ll betcha can’t do that, smarty.
All of his education bought and paid for by The Enemy. Probably the biographical credits too. Believe nothing that flows from the mouth of the deciever
Obama’s intelligence is modeled after Theodore Ted Bundy.
All this “genius” business makes me puke.
If these “geniuses” are SOOOOOOO smart that ‘average’ people can’t understand them, you’d think that:
1. They’d pick up on that immediately
2. They’d be SMART enough to figure out HOW to effectively communicate with those of “lesser” intelligence.
Ya think?
Every time I hear someone being called a genius, it means they’re probably a dunce who is faking ‘smart’ in order to manipulate those around them.
“Uh...um...let me be queer.”
“”You say Obama is brilliant? Show us anything he has ever done that demonstrates an extraordinary level of intelligence.””
I think it means when you can’t make heads nor tails out of what you just heard or read means the person writing or uttering the words is brilliant. Which means the writer of this article is brilliant.
