“Im among those who do not see Obama as an intellectual genius.”
I, have never met him yet, I determined this a long time ago.
If it’s a good education, it’s Occidental!
Im also one that does not see Bama as an intellectual.
“I do, however, think I know why he has not released his undergraduate transcripts from Occidental College or Columbia University: His charismatic reputation for genius would not survive the harsh reality of his ordinary grades.”
I have to laugh at the comments from friends during the campaign . . “Oh, but he’s SO INTELLIGENT”
I always assume that leftists are purely motivated to Destroy Western Civilization. A Mosque at Ground Zero advances that case, somewhat.
Up to this point I was in general agreement with most points. But here he lost me. Obama understands no such thing. IMO, he's incapable of such introspection.
I was right here on FR calling him “dumber than a box of rocks (or) hammers”, long before he was elected. Nothing has changed my opinion of him.

Democrats always say the Republican candidate is stupid and the Democrat candidate is smart. “Everybody knew” Gore and Kerry were smarter than Bush. Bush had better grades in college than those two guys. Gore took one general science class in college and got a D in it. Now he is the expert on globull warming. Obama does stupid things because OBAMA IS STUPID!
I don’t think the only reason the Handlers put B. Hussein Obama (mmm mmm mmm) on a teleprompter is because he’s dumb...I think it’s because if he started spouting off without being told what to say, he’d make Fidel Castro sound like Ronald Reagan.
No truly intelligent person is as inflexible as Obama. Bill Clinton was no genius, but he was a Leftist. Yet even BC had the capacity to analyze situations and adapt. Obama has his Marxist/Alinsky/Keynesian playbook and that’s all he knows. His wholesale inability to make even minor adjustments to his thinking and/or strategy is the hallmark of a limited intellect, not a reasonably intelligent one.
IMHO, ANYone who makes a statement that 0bama is a genius is highly suspect of something (e.g., ignorance, stupidty, idiocy, parasite, liberal, union member, etc.).
It is not humble or bragging if your right and can do it.
I think its called ‘Let’s make a deal’ our sleeze president is deep inside every anti American group in the world ..he is not an American.
Obamadrove the car into the hole at Ground Zer0. Way to go 0bama.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Of course his transcripts would show a mediocre student, at best.
The guy is NOT of superior intelligence.
He's a fraud and not well read, either. "Corpsmen."
My theory is that he made a deal with some Muslim Country. A deal for what, I don’t know. Knowing BHO, it may have been one of his empty goodwill gestures.
I wonder if anybody here knows what Occidental’s average SAT scores were back when Obama attended college (especially for non-white/Asian students).
They have a 44% acceptance rate these days (as of 2007):
Good point. He’s be like Marx on a Biden pill.
Only a complete idiot could still believe in Marxism after the last 100 years of empirical proof we have had demonstrating that the system is flawed. Even Putin admits the Marxist system is dysfunctional. And now the US feds have the largest debt in World history thanks to their Marxist policies.
