I always challenge postings in blogs and articles that make the claim that Obama is "smart", or "intelligent", or "has a brilliant intellect". I always ask them to provide some hard, quantitative evidence of that, things like college transcripts, or a published paper in a reputable journal, or some standardized, recognized test score. Oddly enough, I never get any takers.

Reading words written by others off of a teleprompter is not evidence of intelligence. It may be "brilliance" of a kind, as in a performance. But reading written words well makes Obama more Ron Burgundy than Daniel Webster.

I've interviewed hundreds of people for various jobs in industry, government, and private business, and I know that when someone refuses to provide their grades from school it is for one reason: they STINK. Any job I've ever had always required transcripts of grades from college and grad school. It is irony in the greatest sense that a man who holds the highest office in the land doesn't have to meet the requirements that any entry-level professional job has.
