The problem here is that many fools judge intelligence by one's means to break down right and wrong into multiple shades of gray. While it may be impressive to view multiple perspectives of a given concern, in the case of most democrats, it completely impares their ability to make a decision and finally lead based on a coherent point. You can't say "We're going to defeat the Taliban even though our troops are committing atrocities against innocent civilians and the entire premise for our presence on foreign soil is false". It doesn't work. Perhaps the rats know this and just enjoy watching our nation fail. They do it so often, it's hard to believe it's done by mistake.
If Obama is so smart, I have a question. Why is it that with an overwhelming majority in the house and a fillibuster proof Senate for a year, he still has no health care bill?
He said: “ it was hard not to have an obvious thought:: Could George W. Bush have done this?”
Really? I didn’t have this thought. But then maybe I am not obsessed with George W. Bush like the left is. They just can’t let go. Sad.
Truer words have never been spoken.
Seriously. All he did was dismiss virtually every one of the republicans' suggestions as a "talking point". Anyone can do that, and that's not my idea of a real debate.
Obama probably woulda been a good political scientist. However, he can’t manage worth a damn.
The insanity of the sycophants continue.
Fixed it.
Reading your post, I was beginning to wonder what was wrong with your dog. My condolences...
Oh yeah...

Why are you insulting corn? Corn is far more useful to the world than that guy. I mean, look at all the things that can be made from corn. The only thing this guy is good for is as an emetic.
Those aren't mommies...
Assuming we survive Broke Obama, history will not be kind to him. Nor will history ever shine on Mr. Stagflation Jimmy Carter whose response was the “Malaise speech”. I think history will be much kinder to Bill Clinton though as his best trait was being a pragmatist.
I’m sorry, David. Are you under the impression that the president did a fine job, and if so, why?
And if it ever was true that Democrat presidents were smarter than Republicans, it’s getting harder to see how it’s the case now. It’s like a parody of the March of Evolution, with Thomas Jefferson striding tall and proud at the rear, and Bill Clinton and Barack Obama capering about at the front.
I checked with the authoritative source:
Schoolhouse Rock: How a Bill Becomes a Law
Noting in there about 7-Hour Presidential Summits...
My IQ is well within the genius range. I am a professional writer. I've written two books, and public figures around the world regularly pay me to use things that I write as if they were their own thoughts. I have even ghostwritten lines that were widely quoted in presidential debates and worked on speeches read in prime time at national political conventions.
All that said, what is the evidence of Obama's intelligence? He's never released his college transcripts. He was editor of the Yale Law Review, yet never wrote a single article. His books are obviously ghostwritten. He won't appear at an elementary school without two TelePrompters. He sat in a church for 20 years listening to Jeremiah Wright and apparently never comprehended a word he said. He believes in political systems and solutions to problems that have been tried repeatedly for over 100 years and failed miserably in every instance. And his wildly overpraised speeches are nothing but giant, empty facades built of equal parts hypnotic, repetitious cliches and mental cotton candy. A challenge: can you quote even one line ever spoken by Obama that wasn't memorable solely for its vapid asininity? ("We are the people we have been waiting for," etc.)
As for last week's meeting, what I mostly saw on display from him were arrogance, egomania, hubris and a scary lack of knowledge, curiosity or respect for opposing viewpoints, or for the basic facts underlying both the medical and insurance industries and the contents and consequences of his own bill.
From what I've seen thus far, he has been the greatest beneficiary of low expectations, misplaced praise and greased skids since Chauncey Gardener.
democrats WANT REALLY SMART ppl than themselves to RUN THEIR LIVES FOR THEM
