Does Barack Obama Have a Learning Disability?

The American Thinker ^ | July 23, 2010 | Michael Applebaum, MD

Then he shouldn’t be even the pretend president he is.

[fortheDeclaration]

His learning disability is arrogrance.

[DooDahhhh]

It is very obvious that there is something totally wrong with this administration as a whole.

[pepsionice]

I don’t necessarily think he has LD...but he probably did spend years in college and never learned much of anything. And in terms of Constitutional Law...his background...I doubt if he pass a standard 100-question test on the topic.

[DooDahhhh]

I doubt that he even took the test.

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

He just has the same sickness that all other liberals have. He thinks he’s better than the rest of us.

Doctor Applebaum is entitled to pursue his thesis

"Does Barack Obama have a learning disability (LD)? "

However, with all due respect it is a waste of time.

Does anyone care if Robert Mugabe, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or any other present or past dictator and enemy of the United States has a learning disability?

Then why be concerned if Barak Obama and members of his cabinet have one or two or 16 for that matter?

Where I grew up, we have a few sayings:

For lousy elected officials 'Throw the bum(s) out!'

For Enemy Dictators 'Rest in Peace'

For people who think ill of us 'You have to live with your thoughts.'

No, not a LD. He has, what is technically termed, a rectal-cranial inversion.

[Fresh Wind]

He has a thinking disability.

[Tolkien]

He has a moral disability.

It’s called being evil.

[Venturer]

His Learning disablity is a melanin disability.

He hates his mother for bringing him into the world as a hybrid , and he hates white because he isnt one.

He is a racist and whites are his target. He is determined to destroy our country becaue he hates it. He learned this at Franks Davis,his Commie father’s side.

He's an over-credentialled, under-qualified, socially promoted, affirmative action quota-hire. He's never had to learn anything in his entire life for which he has been held accountable. For him, looking black enough was all he had to do. He's locked up his academic record because an entire cumulative record of "gentlemen C's"(or today's inflated equivalent)looks bad.

The truth is he's a moron.

[Celtic Conservative]

Regina Benjamin is the Surgeon General of the United States.

Benjamin states that overweight/obesity is incompatible with health.

She admits that she is fat.

This is not a learning disability. This is called cognitive dissonance, A common problem among both liberals and the delusional(but I repeat myself). It is essentially being unable (or unwilling) to accept reality. Liberals wish and hope for a better world. Most conservatives take real, concrete action to build a better world.

Not to be too fussy but I believe the preferred medical term most often used these days is Cerebro-rectalopathy. ;-)

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Obama’s learning disability is hating America and all Americans including Blacks!!!

[mo]

the only cure for which is an ano-optic neurectomy....thereby relieving one of their shi%%^y outlook on the world....

[Gay State Conservative]

What foolishness! “Hussein is stupid”...”Hussein has a learning disability”.The truth,boys and girls,is far more ominous.And that is that he’s neither stupid nor does he have a learning disability.Instead...he is UTTERLY AMORAL.It is *that* amorality that can easily explain *everything* he’s ever said...*everything* he’s ever written...*everything* he’s ever done in his life.

Here in Chicago, we’re friends with a woman who used to give the Obama girls swimming lessons. She, and others who worked in the Obama/Rezko Mansion for various projects and assignments, was a source for a lot of what we know about The Lightbringer personally (his affinity for men, his Parkinson’s disease, his chain-smoking and continued drug use, etc.). Between people who’d worked for the City with Michelle, people who attended Trinity United with the Obamas, and people who lived and worked in Hyde Park near the Obama/Rezko Mansion, we collected many anecdotes that raised a lot of questions about the man the Media was pushing to be our next president…if any journalist wanted to follow any of these leads.

Of course obama has a learning disability. Anyone with an IQ greater than their life expectancy can see what is apparently beyond obama’s ability to grasp. That is, socialism as a means of governance has a 100% failure rate at making a society happy and prosperous. Instead it inevitably, every single time, leads to misery and tyranny. The inability to learn from other’s mistakes is a sure sign of a learning disability. I do not believe that obama is fundamentally an intelligent person. Clever, cunning, and charming sure. Arrogant and controlling too with fascist leanings. But at his core, obama is just not that smart.
