Note: Margaret Carlson's piece is definitely barf-worthy. This skewering of that piece is spot on.

he turns his head at the podium to the right and left

No, that's him following the indicator lights on the right and left teleprompters.

LMAO, get cult deprogramming Margaret! Yeah, America’s just not intellectually gifted enough to think 9.5% unemployment with new jobless claims just today at a 9 month high and massive record deficits, now over 9% of GNP, a record, is all a great thing not to mention the looming destruction of their healthcare system and their taxes set to go up with the expiration of the Bush tax cuts and the forcing through of cap and tax during the coming lame duck session of Congress! America’s just so retarded for not thinking this is all really good stuff!

Sounds like this Carlson woman is easily impressed and attracted to bright colored, shiney objects.

IOW not worth paying attention to.

  2. A psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.
  3. Erotic pleasure derived from contemplation or admiration of one's own body or self, especially as a fixation on or a regression to an infantile stage of development.

Carlson has been dead wrong on most issues for a long long time. I’m surprised she can still find a job.

When convinced he’s right — which is often — he turns his head at the podium to the right and left, gazing above his audience into the near distance, chin elevated, and makes his pronouncement about what is just and reasonable.

That is because
                                          that is where
the teleprompters
                                          telling him what
to say are loc-
                                          ated.

Is it not Jimmy Carter who previously held the position as the most intelligent President?

For liberals to now claim that Obama is the most intelligent President is a gross ignorance of history.

That underlying Carlson piece was nauseating. They keep telling us what a keen intellect Obama has, yet there has never been any sign of it. She talks about his manner of looking left and right and holding his chin up when speaking, but doesn’t say it’s because he’s simply reading off a Teleprompter!

The MSM is deathly afraid that the American public has realized that the emperor has no clothes.

If he’s “gifted,” what’s his IQ?

Release his LSAT.

(LSAT * 1.5) -113 (or thereabouts, I’d have to look it up) is a very good IQ test.

Obama an intellectual? Hah.

“a community organizer”

Yeah, that’s a qualification to be president.

Obama is having trouble because most of America is MORE gifted. We're being ruled by an incompetent, narcissistic, un-achiever.

Oh no. Not another of those “He’s too smart for us” pieces?

So, how smart is Mr. Obama?

Is he smarter than John Adams? Thomas Jefferson? James Madison? James Monroe? Abraham Lincoln? Theodore Roosevelt? Harry Truman? Dwight Eisenhower? John Kennedy?
Ronald Reagan?

Ms. Carlson, if you think Mr. Obama is really smart and doing a great job, you either can’t count, or you need meidcal assistance.
