Obama is not that bright
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | Jack Kelly | May 20, 2012

Mr. Obama went to Harvard, but so did George W. Bush, who some liberals consider dumber than dirt. The president won't release his transcripts, so we can't judge by his grades. Mr. Obama was president of the Harvard Law Review, but when he was selected, popularity mattered more than scholarship.

Mr. Obama joined an undistinguished law firm, where he tried no cases.

He often rambles when he speaks without a teleprompter.

Mr. Obama has said a lot of unsmart things: there are 57 states; Canada has a president; "Austrian" is a language; America is "20 centuries" old; Arabic is spoken in Afghanistan. He's called the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) the Maldives, and declared it would be "unprecedented" for the Supreme Court to invalidate a law passed by Congress.

President Obama's stimulus bill didn't stimulate. His subsidies to "green" firms have produced neither the jobs nor the energy he promised. Unemployment on his watch peaked at 10 percent, one of the highest rates since the Great Depression. Deficits are out of control.

"The man who promised everything is delivering nothing," wrote Noemie Emery in the Weekly Standard. "Journalists who wept when he won the election now grind their teeth in despair. ... The gap between sizzle and steak never seemed so large."

Could it be that Mr. Obama's "superior intellect" is a myth created by journalists to mask what may be the thinnest resume of anyone ever elected president?

"I spent some time with the highest tenured faculty member at Chicago Law a few months back," Mr. Ross wrote in March 2010. "According to my professor friend, [Obama] had the lowest intellectual capacity in the building. ... The other professors hated him because he was lazy, unqualified,"

Oops, I should have said, “And the dark side of the moon isn’t that well lit...”

You should have left the moon out of it! The "dark side" of the moon is dark only in the sense of "unknown", before space exploration revealed it to us, that is. It's just as well lit as the near side.

Barack always lived his life not on his intelligence,which is exceedingly mediocre, but by the luck of being born and raised profiteering from a flawed social penance called affirmative action.

The F-102 was a single seat Fighter. There were no two seat training models. Once you had Flight Training in other aircraft and the F-102 Simulator, you went up for the first time on your own.

The F-102 had a serious habit of Compressor failure on take off. If that occurred, there was not enough time for the Pilot to eject. It had a deserved Widow-maker reputation and many Pilots were killed in accidents.

The Left and their allies in the Media will continue to insinuate that young George Bush was a coward for not going to Vietnam while diminishing his Military Service in the Air National Guard. Bush served in the same unit as the Son of Lloyd Benson, the Democrat VP Candidate in 1988 who embarrassed Dan Quayle with the “I knew Jack Kennedy” line in the V.P. Debate.

They will continue to question George Bush's intelligence, all the while knowing he maintained a higher GPA in College than both Gore and Kerry. I believe he is the only POTUS to have earned a Masters Degree, and we all know the Air Force loves to put idiots in multi million dollar Fighter Aircraft.

The lies and innuendo coming from the Left will nevver end.

GWB got his MBA at Harvard. That was after he received his BA from Yale and the Air Force trained him to fly supersonic interceptors.

“He just has to be smarter than all the morons who voted him into office.”

Undoubtedly, the best post of the thread!
