They polled adults— probably only in San Francisco...

And you think it will be easy to defeat Obama, when the electorate is this ignorant...

Certainly not with Rick Perry as the GOP nominee.

Well, the Catholics seem to think he walks on water — can’t believe how they can vote for an anti-life person, such as Obama.

Really Wapo? The pro-Obama bumper stickers are disappearing from my neighborhood faster than a sailor’s paycheck in Norfolk on Friday night.

Even the idiots realize he’s an idiot.

Amen! To a predominantly stupid populace who buys lies and thinks they’re smart, it doesn’t surprise me at all that people think Obama is the most intelligent and the most honest.

The Headline: Poll: Obama seen as smartest, most honest candidate

The text: Americans consider President Obama to be the smartest and most honest presidential candidate [when compared to two named men] . . . Asked if Obama should be re-elected “based only on his performance as president,” one-third of adults said he deserved re-election while four out of 10 said he did not. Seven out of 10 evangelicals said he didn’t deserve re-election; Catholics were evenly divided; and a plurality of skeptics said he should be re-elected.

The conclusion: Folks, we gotta convince Journalism to put on a clean pair of underwear and get rid of the pair with all those skid marks masquerading as journalists.

Here is a linky thingy to the poll: (which I don't believe and I didn't see a margin of error when I scanned it quickly)

Barna Group Poll

On what planet was this poll taken?

Couldn’t have been on the planet Earth.

I wouldn’t believe this poll for one second.

What's not to believe? Just three years ago, the majority of Americans were so deeply stupid that they flocked to the polls to elect the least qualified president in US history. This, despite the clear evidence that he was a radical leftist with anti-American leanings. And they did so primarily because they wanted to pat themselves on the back for voting for a black person. America still has a lot of things going for it, but the intelligence of the general electorate is not one of them.

No, he’s trying to be Kim Jong Il. Did you not hear about Dear Leader Obama’s eighteen consecutive holes in one?

As I’ve said all along, with Obama’s billion in campaign funds, the MSM in his back pocket, ‘08 history of voter fraud and the ignorant voting public, he will NOT be easy to beat.

Wasn't it the Czech President who said, "Obama is not
the problem. It is the fools who elected him. They
will remain after he has gone."
