Obama is not an intellectual in any real sense of the term. The MSM crowns Dem presidents from Woodrow Wilson to FDR, to JFK, Carter, Clinton and now Obama as “intellectuals” simply because they have some ivy league connections. Remember how Carter was referred to as a “nuclear engineer”! But alas poor GWB, despite a Harvard MBA, are seen as dunces as did Reagan and Ford before him.

Before I call the Mulatto Queen an “intellectual”, he’s gonna have to show us his grade transcripts from college. I’m guessing my 2.6 might beat him.

Thomas Sowell is an intellectual. And a liberty-lover. Who writes his own books.

Barack H. Obama is a community organizer. And a collectivist. Who doesn’t.

Agreed, Obama is not an intellectual. Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck and Mark Levin - those are intellectuals. They know philosophy and political history. They speak in facts and form well-grounded conclusions. Obama and the like speak in platitudes, they great at begging questions and very poor at forming arguments. “We need to do health care to save the economy.” “We need to pass cap and trade to create jobs.”
