Is Obama Too Bight to Be President?

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.

I don’t know if he’s too bight, but he sure isn’t too “bright.”

Actually B.O. is a BLIGHT on our country.

Ha ha just an early April fool

In the last week and a half 65 days, he’s said and done things and appeared in ways that could lay have laid the foundation for a negative brand image that no one will be able to reverse.

That's what I'm a-frayed of.

Oh, that old line again. :)

[ScottinVA]

I don’t know if 0bama is too bight to be president, but having him as our president bites.

[Travis T. OJustice]

A new classic! LMAO!

[Anti-Kenyan]

True. And what does that say about him now? ;>

Must have gone to the al baby school of posting

LOL! You always make me laugh. :)

But he’s oozing something worse: he’s oozing too much intelligence.

Intelligence without the wisdom and experience to govern it is a sign of a very sad human being who is unable to determine how to solve real problems. It's like a person that knows every building construction tool but never used one and then give his the assignment to build a building.

[LRS]

Same old, same old, same old.

The left’s definition of stupid, is not believing in Marx’s and his follower’s lunacy.

Their definition of intelligence, is how well one follow’s that B.S.

The Fauxmeister’s IQ is 125.. he’s hardly very bright.

[livius]

Nothing he’s done has indicated any brightness. Or bightness. Just raw lust for power.

[dforest]

Has to be satire. Obama cannot even speak without a teleprompter.

I know two serious things. He has trouble finding a door and trouble with how many states are in the union.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

I’d estimate Obama’s IQ in the 110-115 range. Above average, but not nearly all that.

BO is smart, the problem is he's smart at stuff that doesn't do anyone other than himself much good. His only tool is his mouth. He is your typical guy that bullsh!ts his way into a job and fakes it until he makes it. Only he ain't making it. Anyone that's had a real job has been through this before. All of a sudden a new manager gets transferred in and either f's things up and ends up getting transferred to a new location or he blends in slowly and takes charge in a positive way. Looks like we got the one that usually gets transferred twice. In 4 years BO will get transferred out of office...

“I don’t know who this guy is...”

He’s a Kenyan foreign exchange student schooled as a Muslim who has multiple names, numbers and citizenships, the records of which are being withheld for our benefit.

Or cue cards either.
