He has been a polymath all his life, plunging into one discipline after another.
He was deeply engaged with real-world technology, exotic and well traveled, and a polymath respected in so many circles.
Is that..is that a pen?
I’m going to play racquetball. Will be back this afternoon to grade papers.
Good morning, and that was a perfect description of the emperor
Obama called oh so brilliant
by the left’s voting contingent
57 states in the United States
an example of how unintelligent.
A polymath he is certainly not
A constitutional scholar a joke.
Washington slept in the White House
American history clearly not his yoke.
“The future must not belong to those
who slander the prophet of Islam”
Spoken by our president Obama
a Muslim living an American sham.
Both Cruz and Walker are at the top of my list, but there is one significant difference getting some press. While Cruz is a polymath having graduated both Princeton and Harvard, Walker did not graduate from the college he attended. Hmmm. Something to ponder.
Looks like it.

Thomas Jefferson was our polymath President, and James Madison and John Quincy Adams were polymaths, too.
obama has been touted as a polymath intellectual by his propagandists and sycophants. However, in reality he is a drug-addled puppet for a cabal of New World Order conspirators, none of whom have America’s best interests at heart.
Without his teleprompter, all obama can do is babble incoherently!!!!
BUMP!!!!
I’m reading Mona Lisa; A Life Discovered while en route to Grand Cayman. The word polymath appeared in the last chapter, as a descriptor for DaVinci (the artist not my puppy ; ))

Polly Math
A++++
Excellent! You nailed it!!
A+++
Apparently, it is easier to describe the opposite of a polymath since we have such a perfect counterexample in the White House.
A+++
It has been a long and winding road from the intellectualism of Thomas Jefferson, who is on the two-dollar bill, to the Marxist spewings of Barack Obama, who belongs on the three.
A+++
DaVinci was the first name to come to my mind when I saw the word. Ben Franklin was the seconds.
A++++ for making me crack, er up!
I’ve had Polly by Nirvana stuck in my head all morning.
It is still chilly and drizzly-no work today other than to deliver a couple of invoices...
Those who state the obvious-
Obama is not even a polymath
Will make him have a tantrum
And vent his childish wrath
He’ll demand media attention
As one of his hapless minions
Tries to smear whoever dared
Express their true opinions
The effort is always in vain
We know that the liberal junk
Served by family-and Harvard
Just made him an adult punk
Thanks-not a favorite Nirvana song-even more depressing than a lot of their stuff-”Let me clip your dirty wings”...
