But, but... he’s a Constitutional LAW scholar, isn’t he?

As I have always said; you can educate a monkey, but at the end of the day all you have is an educated monkey.

I’ve seen folks with IQs at about 78 who can speak with similar aplomb as Obama. Perhaps his is closer to 127, but the higher it might be, the less credit he gets for he doesn’t seem to be able to foster a novel idea without help from his environment and frequently doesn’t understand the meaning nor context of what he reads. My gut feel of his IQ is at about 107 to 117.

IMHO, he is a quick study on how to behave as a “suit”, preoccupying his attention span with how many and who pay attention to him in a narcissistic, sociopathic addiction for recognition.

I do not know how smart he is, but he can’t be entirely stupid. To do all the so-called stupid things he’s done to this country in terms of damaging it takes careful consideration. It’s deliberate and he’s doing it, knowing, I believe, full well what he’s doing. Now as to whether or not he’s actually planned this by himself—not likely. I believe that he is the willing puppet to a behind-the-scenes puppetmaster who intends to bring down the U.S.A.

Obama is a skilled orator as long as he has the speech before him. He’s the actor who needs the script but doesn’t write it. He’s lousy at impromptu speech, but when he has the words before him, he does very well. I recall listening to his speech in acceptance of the nomination and remarked to my husband, ‘he sounds great until you listen carefully and realize that he’s saying nothing, but saying it very well.’

I don't know the answer to that. It's beyond me. You'd have to ask the two nincompoops who made the decision.

what brilliant man think increasing spending is the same as reducing deficit

Or, that borrowing money from borrowed money (TARP) to pay back borrowed money (national debt) will actually cure the problem.

This isn't brilliance or genius. This "man" and his "economic advisor's" are either suffering rampant stupidity brought on by overwhelming economic ignorance of the highest order or it's Marxism run amok, or both....

I watched Fox's business shows on Saturday. Ben Stein kept talking about how brilliant Larry Summers is. Jeez. If Larry Summers is brilliant I wonder who Ben thinks is stupid?

I’d estimate that he’d score between 110-115 on a Wechsler IQ test. That’s around 75-80 percentile. Remember 100 is the mean (50% are at 100 or below). That’s good enough to pull off his ruse. Also, that doesn’t mean he isn’t confused, uncertain, befuddled, addled, mean-spirited, America-hating, white-hating, self-loathing and so forth. He is still the ultimate LOSER!

Note how MAO-bama has his hand on his stomach, not his heart, during the National Anthem. DiNiro is doing the crotch salute like a good commie.

I wonder about your post.

To me, it seems as if we are on a run away train. The train will run off a steep cliff and all aboard will be killed if something isn’t done.

I wonder if it wouldn’t be more sensible to pull the emergency cord, causing the train to derail before that happens. There will be casualties no matter what.

Not exactly clear on what your are saying. Are you saying the country is an “economic” run-away freight trail?

Strange isn’t it how liberals can come upon such a genius when they’ve never seen his transcripts, his grades, proof he even has a degree, his records, his birth certificate.

Remember gushing tributes to Clinton's supposedly high IQ by the fawning liberal media. Interesting how Republican presidents are always portrayed as idiots, best example Dubya. His father was portrayed as slow and not in touch. Another one, although not a president, Dan Quayle ...

Algore and Kerry are native Americans.

Listen up. More than likely, Obama is also a "Native American," since there's a damn good chance he actually was born in Hawaii.

He is not a "Natural Born American Citizen" as required by Article II of your constitution, since his father was a a foreigner. Kerry and Gore are both "Natural Born Citizens." Obama is not.

Team Obama has paid mmil;lions for you to accept "Native" as "Natural." They are not.

You have Obama pegged to a tee.

Obama is a genius at selling foolishness to the lost.

Gerald Ford was also portrayed as being stupid and clumsy. The intelligence of Ford is debatable. IIRC, Ford was a fairly gifted, all American athlete in his younger years. The clumsy part is fantasy courtesy of the liberal media ....

Wind energy does not work when wind speeds are over a certain amount - perhaps 25 mph as they must maintain a constant load.

Wind energy cannot be stored - it must be used as it is generated.

Wind energy in its present form kills birds by the thousands.

Wind energy proponents are the same sort of people who oppose building new transmision lines for those same wind turbines.

Wind energy produces a small fraction of the energy a coalfired plant produces - covering the entire land mass of the US with turbines would only produce a fraction of the power now generated by traditional means.

Rahm: Okay, Joe, we need to publicize Barry’s high IQ.
Joe: I have no idea what it is, Rahm.
Rahm: Well, we’d better PICK a number.
Joe: Uh, is 150 too high?
Rahm: Uh, I don’t know what constitutes a “high” number, but you need to look it up and get back to me.
Joe: Okay, Rahm, I asked someone, and 100 is considered average.
Rahm: Okay, better make it 140—no, no, make it 148 for good measure. Folks might catch on if we make it 150.

Lillpop calls Obama an “educated fool.” My own term for these people is “brilliant idiots.” It’s the person who sounds so refined and educated that whatever they say, to an undiscerning person, sounds great. Dig a little deeper, and they’ve actually said nothing. Or said something really stupid. Every Dem president or candidate for the last forty or fifty years has been described as an all-knowing genius by Big Media. Obama gets the same deifying treatment. Forget about the birth certificate, let’s see those college scores and grades O Great Genius.

The New World Order picked a nobody with little enough background that they could erase it completely and then write on him their image.

Think Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy from there on. The NWO wites the script and gives it to Edgar Bergen Emmanuel, who puts it on the teleprompter.

We’re looking at the NWO but seeing a stupid Kenyan.
