I’ve always said that libs tend to mistake “glibness” for intelligence. Bush stumbled around on some of his words, in addition to not believing liberal orthodoxy, so he was stupid. Clinton could spin a yarn so he was smart. I have no idea on what basis one could call Obama intelligent. Normally one at least has college transcripts that allow you to infer something one way or the other, but we don’t even have that with him. I agree that I think he’s of average intelligence who knows how to work the system (or has a handler who does). I am confident I would beat him on any true intelligence test, as I’m sure about half of the Freerepublic community would.
Intelligence test or work test. I can’t tell you how many times over the last 6 years that while either programming or cutting firewood that I thought, Obama couldn’t do this.
