Our "Extraordinarily Intellectual" President
The Provocateur ^ | 08/31/2009 | Mike Volpe

Posted on 08/31/2009 10:02:29 AM PDT by fiscon1

(H/T to Power Line) In this Washington Post story, there appears to be another reincarnation of the media's reminders of the public that President Obama is extraordinarily brilliant.

The president is a very sophisticated thinker and understands the implications of these decisions and events. . .I think he is making sure he makes the best decisions and sometimes you cannot just wipe the slate clean. You have to deal with what the facts are or you have to actually try to make sure you can ascertain the facts, as opposed to some of the hyperbole that is out there.

He is really, really, really smart...in fact, so smart his actions appear to be idiotic.

The methods used to measure intellect are often inaccurate and misleading. A good vocabulary and a fast tongue may be impressive, but don’t prove anything about functional brain power.

Big damn deal.

This is the same thought and decision-making process one repeats dozens of time per day in raising your average overly-emotional teenager.

Let’s see how sophisticated Zero’s thinking is when he has to face a real crisis, even WITHIN the comfort of his 24/7 media coccoon.

Historian Michael Beschloss: Yeah. Even aside from the fact of electing the first African American President and whatever one’s partisan views this is a guy whose IQ is off the charts — I mean you cannot say that he is anything but a very serious and capable leader and — you know — You and I have talked about this for years …

Imus: Well. What is his IQ?

Historian Michael Beschloss: … our system doesn’t allow those people to become President, those people meaning people THAT smart and THAT capable

Imus: What is his IQ?

Historian Michael Beschloss: Pardon?

Imus: What is his IQ?

Historian Michael Beschloss: Uh. I would say it’s probably – he’s probably the smartest guy ever to become President.

Haha...

A president so brilliant he doesn't even understand "lemonade stand economics".

Book smart and street dumb. Lack of common sense.

That’s exactly the point. Not only is it unclear just how smart he is but so what if he is.

It's the same crap they were peddling about the klintoons and are trying to create about carter.

On the other hand no Republican can spell their own name. According to the MSM elite, W was a super dummy, his father was a "whimp", President Reagan had Alzheimers when he wasn't asleep in the cabineet meetings, Ford was a klutz and Nixon was a crook. And, just look at what they are doing to Sarah Palin.

The only good Republican in their writings was Lincoln and that is because he wanted to be so much like zero.

I think people like Beschloss have been hypnotized by Obama (using NLP).

There is absolutely no evidence that Obama is of even average intelligence. In fact, we know full-well that he was an affirmative action student and his grades were sufficiently poor that they remain hidden from public view.

Statement: "Our "Extraordinarily Intellectual" President"

Response: Nonsense!

Comment: "The Divine One" is glib and cunning, that is all. He is not intelligent, he does not have good judgement, and we will pay the price.

Just another glaring example of someone who is educated WAY beyond their intelligence.

Uh huh. Smarter than Jefferson? I don't think so. When 0bama has designed a few buildings or founded a university, call me.

You have to deal with what the facts are...

No kidding. I mean, the poor guy has been left an open, shooting war with a refractory country that he has to deal with, he can't just start foreign policy tabula rasa. Oh, wait, that was Bush I was talking about...

Democrats fall for intellectual poseurs all the time, so the most ambitious Democrat pols become or already are intellectual poseurs.

WOW! what a line of BS ...

Obama is a ‘front’ man for the money (powers) that are behind him. I do believe Obama believes and has accepted the Marxist writings of Karl Marx. He is a gifted orator. Has a excellent voice and makes a good impression physically. None of which speaks to his intelligence.

God help us in our day. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

If Obama wasn't Black, the smartest woman in the world would be president today.

Hillary knows that Black was what beat her.
