Here is video of Newsweek's Howard Fineman this weekend telling host Chris Matthews, "Of course he is," referring to President Obama being "smarter than us."
Chris Matthews had asked Fineman, "Is he smarter than us?" Fineman's immediate response was "Of course he is, much smarter!"
Fineman had been waxing eloquent about how "patient" Obama is, and that he is just waiting for the right time and the right way to get his agenda adopted.
Just another example of the fawning, biased "mainstream media." . . . (VIDEO)

How would we know? He’s never released any of his transcripts or theses. Of course, in our modern culture there are people who say education doesn’t mean anything. It’s mostly uneducated people who say this.
Obama has the same Harvard JD degree as his wife, so, no, I don’t think he’s particulary smart. That whole hate crimes bit is proof enough that he’s a low life panderer.
Fineman and Newsweak long ago proved that they both have or appeal to people whose IQs are slightly below that of bellybutton lint!!!
How sad. Proof Fineman is dumber than most.
Here’s who smarter than Fineman and Matthews - Rush Hudson Limbaugh - Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmm!
Strictly speaking, I can’t argue with the quote.
Dolphins are samrter than Matthews and Fineman, along with most higher primates.

That’s like saying that Moe is the smartest Stooge.
OBAMA: I'll take Nifty 50's for $100.
ALEX TREBEK: Famous for its varieties, this condiment has 57.
OBAMA: What is the United States of America?
Some people equate a slick tongue with intelligence.
I agree that Baraq is not stupid.
But he’s no genius either.
As I’ve said on FR, if the guy was a 1600 SAT, 4.0 in college,
and ripped the LSAT, the evidence would be displayed on the wall in Gibbs press briefing room, because Baraq’s ego knows no limits.
But all these records are in a “lock box” which tells me he was a middle of the pack guy on his best days. Just like he was on the state champ bball team but rode the bench.
How do I know that BO is so smart? Why doesn’t he make his college transcripts public? Yea, I know he went to Columbia and Harvard. Affirmitive Action got him there. He’s a fraud and does violence to our constitution. So are the big gov’t GOPers. They too do much violence to our constitution.

I don’t think Obama is stupid, but neither is he the philosopher-king the swoony left makes him out to be. His speeches are political cotton candy: pretty to behold, and sweet to the taste, but lacking in any nutritional value (politically speaking).
Nor do I see much evidence that his oft-praised intelligence has translated to political savvy. That is a point that cannot be underestimated. Jimmy Carter had thorough knowledge of nearly every policy issue. Herbert Hoover was one of the best engineers of his time. Neither man was much of a leader.
I'm a magna cum laude graduate from a mid-level law school in the mid-west 30+ years ago, law review, book award for best student in Corporate law, etc. Undergrad degree in electrical engineering in top 10% of class, member of national engineering honor society and national electrical engineering honor society. My wife is a graduate of one of the "Seven Sisters" schools.
In the course of practicing law and working as an engineer over the last 40 years, I've had a chance to rub elbows with some very bright MIT graduates and quite a few Ivy League law school grads, some of whom were quite good and others were not. My wife worked in telecommunications consulting for some time and likewise dealt with similar folks.
Both of us are positive that Zero must have been admitted on an affirmative action basis, not to mention Mrs. Zero and graduated on the basis that having been admitted, it would have been embarrassing to flunk him regardless of performance. His use of English and his inarticulateness when parted from the teleprompter is obvious. His speech pattern--with the pauses--are intended to convey the image that he is searching for exactly the correct word (as if he has memorized the Oxford English Dictionary) to fit his thought. Don't fall for that. It was true of William F. Buckley, but it sure isn't for Zero.

Opening Narration:
"Tonight's story on The Twilight Zone is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction. This, as you may recognize, is a map of the United States, and there's a little town there called Peaksville. On a given morning not too long ago, the rest of the world disappeared and Peaksville was left all alone. Its inhabitants were never sure whether the world was destroyed and only Peaksville left untouched or whether the village had somehow been taken away. They were, on the other hand, sure of one thing: the cause. A monster had arrived in the village. Just by using his mind, he took away the automobiles, the electricity, the machines - because they displeased him - and he moved an entire community back into the dark ages - just by using his mind.
Now, I'd like to introduce you to some of the people in Peaksville, Ohio. This is Mr. Fremont. It's in his farmhouse that the monster resides. This is Mrs. Fremont. And this is Aunt Amy, who probably had more control over the monster in the beginning than almost anyone. But one day she forgot. She began to sing aloud. Now, the monster doesn't like singing, so his mind snapped at her, turned her into the smiling, vacant thing you're looking at now. She sings no more.
And you'll note that the people in Peaksville, Ohio, have to smile. They have to think happy thoughts and say happy things because once displeased, the monster can wish them into a cornfield or change them into a grotesque, walking horror. This particular monster can read minds, you see. He knows every thought, he can feel every emotion.
Oh yes, I did forget something, didn't I? I forgot to introduce you to the monster. This is the monster. His name is Anthony Fremont. He's six years old, with a cute little-boy face and blue, guileless eyes. But when those eyes look at you, you'd better start thinking happy thoughts, because the mind behind them is absolutely in charge. This is the Twilight Zone"
Synopsis
Six-year-old Anthony Fremont looks like any other little boy, but looks are deceiving. He is a monster, a mutant with godlike mental powers. Early on, he isolated the small hamlet of Peaksville, Ohio. In fact, the handful of inhabitants do not even know if he destroyed the rest of the world or if it still exists. Anthony has also eliminated electricity, automobiles, and television signals. He controls the weather and what supplies can be found in the grocery store. Anthony creates and destroys as he pleases, and controls when the residents can watch the TV and what they can watch on it.
The adults tiptoe nervously around him, constantly telling him how everything he does is "good", since displeasing him can get them wished away "to the cornfield", where they are presumably met by a less-than-happy ending. At one point, a dog is heard barking angrily. Anthony thinks the dog is "bad" and "doesn't like him." He casts a spell, to his father's horror. But he dare not show it.
Finally, at Dan Hollis' birthday party, Dan, slightly drunk, can no longer stand the strain and confronts the boy, calling him a monster and a murderer; while Anthony's anger grows, Dan yells for the other adults to kill Anthony from behind - "Somebody end this, now!" - but no one has the courage to act. Anthony points to Dan, "You're a very bad man! And you keep thinking bad thoughts about me!" Before Dan is killed, he is shown, indirectly by his shadow, transformed into a jack-in-the-box with his human head, causing his widow to break down.
Because he is angry at what has happened, Anthony causes snow to begin falling outside. His father observes that the snow will kill off at least half the crops and that they may not have enough food to make it through the winter and people may starve to death. But as the adults look on, worried smiles on their faces, his father smiles and tells Anthony in a horror-tinged voice, "...but it's a real good thing you did. A real good thing. And tomorrow....tomorrow's gonna be a-- real good day!".
Closing Narration
"No comment here, no comment at all. We only wanted to introduce you to one of our very special citizens, little Anthony Fremont, age 6, who lives in a village called Peaksville in a place that used to be Ohio. And if by some strange chance you should run across him, you had best think only good thoughts. Anything less than that is handled at your own risk, because if you do meet Anthony you can be sure of one thing: you have entered the Twilight Zone. ”
