I stand corrected. I regard him as an evil genius.

You TDS people never let up. It's sad to see. The difference with Trump is that in most rooms he is in, he is the smartest one there. So he would usually be right, if he always thought he was the smartest in the room. However, he has always talked about bringing in the best experts on any issue, and is willing to listen to them. People who have worked with him mention that quality of his, to listen and adopt the views of others.

Obama, on the other hand, is ony the smartest when Michelle and the family dog are around, and that is touch and go. His belief in his intelligence, unproven by any actual accomplishments, is dangerous and leads him to not accept the views of any experts who might tell him things he does not want to hear.

As you live your life, do try to keep your psychosis from affecting each and every one of your interactions, posts, comments and thoughts, or you may just become mad.

It’s sad when the village idiot thinks he is the smartest person in the room. It’s even worse when that idiot gathers a circle of cronies so incompetent that he really is the smartest person in the room.

Note to liberal lurkers: My academic credentials are more prestigious than Obama’s, not that credentials should matter that much to sensible people. The difference is I earned mine; his were awarded as an unearned affirmative action gift.

You are right.

Too often though, liberals tend to equate a top-notch Ivy League education with common sense and wisdom. It couldn't be further from the truth.

What’s the evidence that Biden is stupid?

He invented Borking. He chewed up Paul Ryan and spit him out. He got elected to the Senate at age 29 and won six consecutive elections. He spotted the Obama con at a very early stage.

He’s undoubtedly their strongest candidate. He would beat any Republican easily, with the possible exception of Trump (who’s not exactly a Republican).

Seriously?

He invented Borking.

And the phrase "Bidening" is in the political lexicon

He chewed up Paul Ryan and spit him out.

No, not really. Ryan didn't do his best, but Uncle Joe was simply condescending and laughed like a maniac all night.

He got elected to the Senate at age 29 and won six consecutive elections.

That just illustrates the idiocy of his consitituency.

"I never had an interest in being a mayor 'cause that's a real job. You have to produce. That's why I was able to be a senator for 36 years." March 29, 2012

He spotted the Obama con at a very early stage.

You mean, the clean, articulate negro?

"Look, John [McCain's] last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the No. 1 job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs." Oct. 15, 2008
