Is Obama Too Bight to Be President?

More Roosevelt… Less Jimmy Carter… that’s what this brand needs!

Folks, there’s been a lot of scrutiny of President Obama in these first 100 days. It goes with the territory. The attention is brutal no matter who’s in the Oval Office and it always will be.

Exposure is something most marketers covet . . .but over-exposure especially of the wrong features can be deadly for a personal brand.

That is why, Barack Obama –whom I’ve called a first-rate poli-marketer (see the past few weeks FOX Forum posts here)– had better stop behaving like Jimmy Carter and start emulating Roosevelt.

In the last week and a half, he’s said and done things and appeared in ways that could lay the foundation for a negative brand image that no one will be able to reverse.

I can hear the peanut gallery objecting: “But President Obama isn’t oozing Carter-sque doom and gloom.” Fair enough. But he’s oozing something worse: he’s oozing too much intelligence.

I don't know who this guy is...but I can visualize John Lovitz saying 'That's the ticket'

[peggybac]

I don’t know if he’s too bight, but he sure isn’t too bright.

[theDentist]

Obama is barely bright enough to be a dem bulb.

[Jeffrey_D.]

Bight me Bama!

[ExTexasRedhead]

Is this sick humor?

[al baby]

Must have gone to the al baby school of posting

[Beckwith]

This is a joke, right?

[txnativegop]

Obama too bright to be president? Huh?? Obama is as bright as a burned out light bulb.

[papasmurf]

That would be like, smart as a whip, dumb as an ox.

[al baby]

He is a compact fluorescent

[2harddrive]

Hussein Obama is a member of the elite class of international Counter-Intellectuals.

[al baby]

no no he is a black light

[Travis T. OJustice]

ROFL! No kidding!

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Yes! Obombastic is to bight!.....

[SparkyBass]

No, but his grillz are!

[pgkdan]

To bright to be President??? Obama?? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

[Anti-Kenyan]

Let me get this right. Intelligence is based on ones ability to read from a screen now? If anything he is an excellent actor. Hearing his non-teleprompted speaking skills does not lead me to believe he is more intelligent than anyone else.

[GeronL]

he is dumb as a rock in a sock

Is Obama Too Bight to Be President?

I don't know, but he's going to have this country tied up in knots before it's over.

[txnativegop]

If that’s the case I’ll send him a lava light. LOL!!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Obama bights!

Big time.

[BlueNgold]

You mean he’s hazardous to the general public but we are forced to deal with him regardless of the known dangers?

[AngelesCrestHighway]

What the hell?...Is bight code?

[al baby]

YUP

[al baby]

[MNDude]

Those democrats have to stop nominating those geniuses. Odd, the LA times had the exact same article about Kerry:

I think they there was an article about how Gore was too smart also.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

He’s not the bightest ight in the pack!

[Jet Jaguar]

lol

[Travis T. OJustice]

I was, Al, I was laughing WITH you, not at you. I'm stuned to think you'd feel otherwise.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

LOL!

[Travis T. OJustice]

There should also be a bitter end on that line, too, as that's what 0bama is bringing tot he USA as we know it.

[Rightly Biased]

If dumb was dirt he’d be a half acre

[Constitution Day]

Well played!

There should also be a bitter end on that line, too, as that's what 0bama is bringing to the USA as we know it.

That's what I'm a-frayed of.

Go for the Juggler! [FR]

[upsdriver]

Blight is misspelled in the title.

[dead]

Liberals always trot out this "Emperor's new clothes" excuse to explain away the fact that there are actually people who think their man is a jackass.

Jimmy Carter was too intellectual for most Americans to appreciate. John Kerry's awesome intellect was too advanced for most Americans to grasp. Al Gore's inability to connect with many Americans was due mainly to his absolutely incredible grasp of the important issues facing the globe.

If you can't see how insanely brilliant these men are, you are obviously lacking the necessary brains. The fact that every welfare-sucking moron who can't hold a job, or finds himself in and out of prison for petty crimes, can appreciate their greatness really means you need to get smarter.

[Constitution Day]

LOL!!

[Leo Carpathian]

How bight????

[uncitizen]

I don’t know if he’s too bight, but he sure isn’t too bright.

LOLOLOLOL

[theDentist]

If anything he is an excellent actor.

Well, an excellect actor doesn't need queue cards or a prompter. They study their lines and know them before they step onto a set.

[KeyLargo]

I don’t know if he’s too bight, but he sure isn’t too “bright.”

Actually B.O. is a BLIGHT on our country.

[al baby]

Ha ha just an early April fool

[al baby]

that looks like e bola

[Lucky9teen]

In the last week and a half 65 days, he’s said and done things and appeared in ways that could lay have laid the foundation for a negative brand image that no one will be able to reverse.

[Travis T. OJustice]

That's what I'm a-frayed of.

Oh, that old line again. :)

[ScottinVA]

I don’t know if 0bama is too bight to be president, but having him as our president bites.

[Travis T. OJustice]

A new classic! LMAO!

[Anti-Kenyan]

True. And what does that say about him now? ;>
