MSNBC’s Matthews Finds Obama’s Weakness: He’s ‘Too Darned Intellectual’

At the top of Friday’s Hardball on MSNBC, host Chris Matthews discovered the reason for President Obama’s political difficulties in recent months: “President Obama has his chin out on just about every hot issue out there....He’s exposed and vulnerable. His poll numbers are dropping. Is he just too darned intellectual? Too much the egg head?”

Later in the show, Matthews talked to Atlantic Media’s Ron Brownstein and USA Today’s Susan Page about Obama’s great flaw. He began by wondering: “I’m not attacking intellectuals because I do appreciate their contribution – but when politicians begin to get a little too intellectual, they lose connection with the American people....I begin to think this administration’s getting almost like one that you would imagine Adlai Stevenson running. Highly ethereal, highly intellectual, egg head. Not connected to real people and their emotional gut feelings about things.”

Democrat Ivy League intellectual: “Let’s get the economy going by borrowing $2 Trillion from the Chinese and spending the money on welfare programs.”

Common sense state college conservative: “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.”

If you go back and actually fact-check Obama and his team members you’ll find that “book smart” isn’t even in the top 1,000 adjectives that can reasonably be used to describe Obama, let alone his team.

They get so many basic facts wrong that they apparently aren’t bothering with books or Google.

I have to disagree with you. I see no evidence that Obama is even book literate.

I agree with both of you - I realized that as I wrote, but when we talk about an 'Ivy League' education we're really talking about "book smart," but not real-world smart.

0, of course, with his 57 states and many etceteras, doesn't even rise to the level of "book smart," as you both rightly point out - what other reason can there be (besides the possibility that he's registered as a foreign student, perhaps using different names) for him to completely block access to any school transcripts?

I used to get very angry at these mainstream morons, now I am feeling pity for them. What laughable useful idiots they are. I hope they never see themselves the way we do because they would be ashamed to open their insipid mouths again.
Geez what moronic loons they are.

How can an imbecile like Matthews know the meaning of the word “intelligent?” Does a dimwit moron know he is a dimwit moron?
