Americans know Obama is smart.”
Correction, we’ve been told Obama is smart. The evidence so far flatly contradicts that assertion. Clinton, as much as I disliked him was smart. Obama clearly cannot think on his feet and they now protect him from any type of unscripted interaction. When allowed to freewheel he consistently steps in it and then mucks things up even worse when he attempts to clarify. Obama’s genius is as much a fiction as the other elements of his carefully created but unsubstantiated public personna.
Steve Forbes needs to hang tough here. They’re going to bluster but it’s apparent D’Souza’s article is factual. It’s just that the boy-emperor and his court don’t care much for this public disrobing.
If you were to ask those same people who make the assertion for examples, they would doubtlessly cite his attending Harvard as one. If you countered with the fact that Bush II graduated from both Harvard and Yale, they would deny that as evidence of Bush's smarts, but rather as evidence of Bush I's influence.
Apparently, if you're a lib democrat and you attend an ivy-league school, you're qualified to become a philosopher king. If you're a republican and you graduate from an ivy-league school, it's proof that those very same institutions are corrupt, money-grubbing diploma mills that will grant credentials to anyone with a pulse and money for tuition.
