Is Obama Stupid & Lazy?
The Western Center for Journalism ^ | 1-12-10 | Steve Baldwin

Posted on 01/13/2010 5:27:47 PM PST by washingtoncon

This lenghty Report by Steve Baldwin is well worth the read...

Is Obama Stupid and Lazy? Although that’s quite a provocative question, evidence is mounting that Obama may not be as intelligent as his supporters and cheerleaders in the media constantly assure us.

The reality may be that Obama is mostly a creation of the liberal media. Indeed, the more we dig into his past, the more we find very little substance and discover how a network of liberal professors, law firms, and others, gave him a pass on performance while he pursued his political agenda.

We know very little about Obama’s academic performance. Sources state that he attended an elite K-12 school in Hawaii called Punahou School, but the school claims that his records are missing.

Obama attended the prestigious Occidental College in California. This is puzzling, however, because he has admitted in his book and elsewhere that he was engaged in heavy drug use while in high school. This seems to show that his studies were the last thing on his mind. How he got in remains a mystery and Obama’s attorneys have blocked access to those records.

Obama finished up his undergraduate years at Columbia College, but, again, Obama won’t release those records either. We have no information to suggest he was a good student. We do know, however, that he did not graduate with honors from Columbia. As the New York Sun writes:

University Spokesman Brian Connolly confirmed that Obama graduated with a major in political science but without honors. Nevertheless, he was later admitted to Harvard Law School.

Being accepted by Harvard Law School without graduating with honors from Columbia suggests that Obama was admitted to Harvard based on race and perhaps, by that time, his growing reputation as a liberal political superstar.

Maybe Clinton was right. Perhaps Obama did bring his coffee a couple years ago! ;-)

Yes, he is. And he doesn’t like the responsibility of the office he occupies [he is an impostor...wonder when this gig will be over].

You know a man by his writing.

Obama has no body of proof-positive precursor writing to the autobio. Arguably, and argued well, that he may not have written.

Yes, he is nothing.

A brilliant man would never have said, “typical white person,” “police acted stupidly,” “Special Olympics,” would never have gone after Joe the Plumber.

Forget the birth certificate. He has no history. No writing. No nothing.

And off-teleprompter, he is no brilliant man.

Solid B+! He must be smart, just ask him. I have written before that a friend of mine who is French called this before the election... he said he thought Obummer was lazy and had everybody else do the heavy lifting for him. The tragedy for the US is that the lazy POS has surrounded himself with bretins and communists

A lot of interesting information in there. But one thing really irks me. If the author is going to criticize Obama for spelling errors and poor grammar, shouldn’t the author take great care to be sure his blog doesn’t have the same problems? It is rife with errors.

An organization composed of “potential terrorists” has a handy list that can be modified to describe Obama:

The socialist is
- untrustworthy
- disloyal
- unhelpful
- unfriendly
- discourteous
- unkind
- disobedient
- grumpy
- phenomenally profligate
- cowardly
[in Obama’s defense, he’s so clean that even Biden as an enemy described him as “clean” ... but only in body], and
- irreverent.

I have found that stupid and lazy people are really smart about being able to hide how lazy they really are.

There are people who will work harder to get out of work than do the work itself.

I know. I was partners with one of them once.

Nah - he’s not shiftless or lazy, he’s a LEO and King of the Jungle! Leo’s get these brilliant ideas and are not exactly initially sure what the end product should look like, but they will know it when they see it. Congress’ job, as his minions, is to take the framework of this brilliant idea and do the tweaking. So it takes 10,000 pages, 500 rewrites and 750 meetings - not his problem or concern. He is only interested in the end product which he, by the way, would prefer having yesterday but right now is acceptable!
