RE: “The sad thing is, beyond Obama’s cluelessness, there’s not one person in his circle that has the foggiest idea about presidential behavior. Jimmy Carter’s “cornpone” cabinet was lightyears ahead of these rubes.”
******************
It’s true — during Carter’s term I worked for the largest insurance company in the US, and our CEO came to speak to our western HQ. He, no fan of Carter, said that we were mistaken if we mistook Carter for a fool. He said that no matter how much we may have disagreed with his politics, he was a very very intelligent man. For some reason that always stuck with me and I never quite thought about the hayseed in the same way afterwards.
With Obama, however, I think his ‘smarts’ are all shtick, he has been propped up by the likes of Soros and Ayers among others, and we have no idea whether he is intelligent or just a slick punk token.
Carter was a terrible President but nothing compares with this current scourage.
He said that no matter how much we may have disagreed with his politics, he was a very very intelligent man.
Ah yes especially when he asked his daughter’s advise on
Nuclear Weapons.
... we have no idea whether he is intelligent ...
I think we have a very good idea. He’s not very smart. Exhibit A is just how difficult it is to cite a single really smart thing he’s ever done, said or written. All he has is rote far leftist drivel he’s picked up over the years. He has nothing original whatsoever.
Plus, if he’d had any smarts in school his records/transcripts wouldn’t be under heavier security than our military secrets. That one legal article Lawrence Tribe wrote and tried to give Obama partial credit for was embarrassingly stupid. If that’s the best they can do we’re talking about a mentally average person *at best*.
There are some extremely intelligent people on the FR forum. I don’t know of a single one of them who believes Obama is that smart. He’s just a narcissist who learned how to game the affirmative action system from an early age—and I would bet the farm on that.
