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

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.

Intelligent persons that I personally wouldn't have wanted as president:
Karl Marx
Pol Pot
Vladimir Lenin
Joseph Stalin
Mao Tse Tung
Adolph Hitler
Bill Ayers
Ted Bundy...

See where that can go? Intellect alone can be devastatingly bad if there is not wisdom, compassion, empathy, and a whole other host of ingredients.

"Is Obama Too Bight to Be President?"

Only if by "Bright" you mean the blinding bright white light of Socialist Stupidity.

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

Well, he obviously has been sleeping at a Holiday Inn Express, because this guy, who has never run so much as a "corner store," is now running the automotive, banking and insurance industries.

Obama's never really been tested. He's always lived in a bubble of unquestioned and unchallenged self-esteem.

In a way it's appropriate that he's president now, when all those "best and brightest" bankers are being shown up as incompetents, for this is a time when all those Ivy League bubbles of pooled self-love are being popped. That's the impression that I get anyway.
