Please provide examples of Obama’s ‘Intelligence” and “Articulateness” Are you privy to his Harvard grades?
Do you program his teleprompter? Are you the Edgar Bergen to his Mortimer Snerd? ( that will have a few checking their Wikipedia.)

I fear you have fallen to the lamestream media’s affirmative action enablement mantra of the Savior.

When discussing or criticizing Obama, the preamble is always that he is ‘smart,’ ‘articulate,’ and a ‘good family man.’

In reality such enablement is condescending, and if you were just practicing this requisite condescension, you are understandably excused. Happy New Year.

Obama is a good family man because he never left his chil'run or his o'l lady. A real role model.

In reality he'd rather play golf or basketball than spend time with his chil'run.

I watched the debates and I remember 0bama being interviewed by O’Reily and others and I have seen enough to know that the man is intelligent. I’ve also seen him stutter and stammer and commit innumerable gaffes. Sarah has had her share of gaffes too. So did George Bush (who I believe equals or exceeds the intelligence of anyone on the left). 0bama gets softball questions during interviews and Sarah’s comments are edited in ways that make her look bad.

I’m smart enough to know that the teleprompter creates an impression that he is intelligent and articulate. I doubt if his grades were very good. I think he is a “hustler” and did the minimum to get by. He has been helped and promoted by likeminded people and true believers for the cause of liberalism. He was chosen to carry that flag for good reason. He has charisma and those who critisize him will be dismissed as racist and “mean spirited.”

I absolutely hate his politics. His agenda is poison to our country. But I don’t dismiss him as an ignorant fool and I don’t think you should either.

Sarah is certainly smart but on a measure of intelligence I’m sure she is as intelligent as ZERO. Unlike ZERO I do think she earned her grades and achievements with hard work and determination. I’ve seen each of them in situations when they had to think on their feet and I believe they are fairly closely matched in that regard.

Zero has gone virtually unchallenged by the press. When Sarah is on Fox News she shines because she is in friendly territory and will not likely be asked “gotcha” type questions.

In order to find the right person to lead our country we need to measure CHARACTER. Sarah has it and ZERO doesn’t. She truly is winsome and has many Reaganesque qualities.
