I don't find this so hard to believe. Whatever one thinks of his politics, Obama appears to be a smart guy. The frequent expression on this website of astonishment and skepticism that Obama could have gained admission to Harvard Law on his own merit comes across as plainly racist IMHO.
I've known people who went to Harvard Law. In fact there is one in my own family. These people are definitely smart. but they do not appear to be noticeably more intelligent than Obama.
What do you base your opinion on? He has no published work as Editor of Harvard Law Review, no important legislation in the State Senate or US Senate, probably didn’t even write his “bestsellers” himself. He has surrounded himself with Marxists, socialists and those that generally hate America (Rev. Wright comes to mind). He clearly has no sense of economics and he isn’t even admitted in Illinois to practice law! I would love to know why you consider him so smart.
Laughable that you are attempting to praise 0bama’s intellectual ability when there is absolutely nothing to go on as none of his college transcripts, papers, writings etc have surfaced other than one crappy paper about Evil Militarism that would be crappy if a 10th grade high school student wrote it.
If you mean his books, obviously he either didn’t write them at all or had lots of “help”.
If you mean his speeches, obviously he didn’t write them.
If you mean his reading the Teleprompter, anyone who is semi-literate can read, and you will have to have noticed that when asked a question and has to answer with the Prompter he sounds like a total fool.
Your sycophant status is crystal clear.
I think the word you're looking for is cunning.
