Is Obama Too Bight to Be President?
Fox Forum ^ | March 30, 2009 | John Tantillo

Posted on 03/31/2009 11:44:35 AM PDT by lacrew

More Roosevelt… Less Jimmy Carter… that’s what this brand needs!

Folks, there’s been a lot of scrutiny of President Obama in these first 100 days. It goes with the territory. The attention is brutal no matter who’s in the Oval Office and it always will be.

Exposure is something most marketers covet . . .but over-exposure especially of the wrong features can be deadly for a personal brand.

That is why, Barack Obama –whom I’ve called a first-rate poli-marketer (see the past few weeks FOX Forum posts here)– had better stop behaving like Jimmy Carter and start emulating Roosevelt.

In the last week and a half, he’s said and done things and appeared in ways that could lay the foundation for a negative brand image that no one will be able to reverse.

I can hear the peanut gallery objecting: “But President Obama isn’t oozing Carter-sque doom and gloom.” Fair enough. But he’s oozing something worse: he’s oozing too much intelligence.

You mean he’s hazardous to the general public but we are forced to deal with him regardless of the known dangers?

Those democrats have to stop nominating those geniuses. Odd, the LA times had the exact same article about Kerry:

I think they there was an article about how Gore was too smart also.

Liberals always trot out this "Emperor's new clothes" excuse to explain away the fact that there are actually people who think their man is a jackass.

Jimmy Carter was too intellectual for most Americans to appreciate. John Kerry's awesome intellect was too advanced for most Americans to grasp. Al Gore's inability to connect with many Americans was due mainly to his absolutely incredible grasp of the important issues facing the globe.

If you can't see how insanely brilliant these men are, you are obviously lacking the necessary brains. The fact that every welfare-sucking moron who can't hold a job, or finds himself in and out of prison for petty crimes, can appreciate their greatness really means you need to get smarter.

If anything he is an excellent actor.

Well, an excellect actor doesn't need queue cards or a prompter. They study their lines and know them before they step onto a set.
