Wow!

I was just channel surfing and watched just a few seconds of “Family Guy” and that is almost exactly what the dog said. He is the smart one too.

I am not kidding, that really is what I just saw.

Ford must be a close second. He vetoed quite a bit in his two short years.

[dfwgator]

You mean Gerald “The Soviets Don’t Dominate Poland” Ford?

[Chode]

LOL!!!

100%...

Obama has the education, but Reagan even with just a Bachelor’s was smarter at least life smarter. Obama is in a bubble.

[Chode]

yup, the bubble headed boy in a bubble...

On the intelligence scale...Obama might be slightly ahead of James Buchanan (an abject failure as President) but still trails Franklin Pierce (a drunken abject failure as President.) I'll credit Barry with a solid 42nd place out of 44.

So he's one of the top 42 most intelligent Presidents, although kinda toward the bottom of that list. ;-)

Coolidge had only 50 vetoes according to this

4 where overridden

[Kaslin]

good one

Smartest president? Jefferson.

Obama is the affirmative action in chief and it shows.

Obama has the education

You believe anything you read or hear,do ya?

so where did that $800 billion go? If there were no “shovel-ready projects”, what DID they spend it on?

Most of it was granted to blue state governments, so as to maintain their public employee union payrolls.

Most of the rest ended up in the pockets of "green energy" cronies -- e.g., the Solyndra scam.

And some of it was just pissed away.

Moreover, understand that the $900 billion Porkulus expenditure was then repeated every fiscal year after 2010...with an inflation factor! Because it became part of the prior year budget and, via baseline budgeting, was increased every year. Porkulus is why we have annual trillion dollar deficits.

I agree that he can’t do what ordinary people do but it is damned certain that is not because he is “too talented”. I might as well say that the reason I don’t dance like Fred Astaire, write like Mark Twain and do brain surgery is that I am too talented.

I would guess that Obama is among the two or three dumbest presidents. Probably at the very bottom.

On TV I saw a student who was in the same dept, same major, and same year as him at Columbia. He has publicly stated that he never met Obama, suggesting that all he had to do was be admitted to Columbia then not even show up for classes and yet pass.

As I said before he has been given everything he has supposedly achieved. All of it as a result of affirmative action.

“Obama has the education...”

Health insurance is not the same thing as health care and degrees in frames on the wall are not the same thing as education. Obama lacks even the equivalent of a good eighth grade education in reality.
