A few years back I worked with a guy who was probably a genius. In fact, he often struggled in life interacting with people because his brain simply performed at a higher level than the average person. I remember asking him what his biggest belief was in making life decisions and he always, without fail, told me “think of the bigger picture.” And while I’ve always tried to be a big picture thinker, knowing him when I did helped me understand it a little better.
He always told me the biggest issue he faced when dealing with people was that he’d see things in a bigger scope that most people simply couldn’t follow. While many people tend to not see beyond a particular moment, day, week or even month, he operated with a sense of “is what I’m doing now the best course of action to set me up for success not just now, but later on.” He used to tell me people would come to him for advice every once in a while and often walk away angry because what they wanted to hear wasn’t usually what they needed to hear. He was actually one of the first people who made me aware of the fairly obvious (though I was young and had never really thought about it) human characteristic of adoring people who tell them what they want to hear, or what they understand, while condemning those who don’t. Most people really just want to be assured of what they hope will happen rather than take a good long look at what’s best for themselves in the long run.

And no one seems to remember Barry at university. Or his GPA. Or his IQ. Or his associatiions. Or his Visas. Or his friends.
Allen Clifton has obviously spent too much time in Colorado When away from the Dallas area. Here’s his Facebook page so you can enjoy his ‘superior intellect” and the brainless logic of his fellow liberal cronies:

Charles Manson would have had this Pajama Boi washing his feet & trying to start a race war.
I actually knew a guy years ago that was off the charts brilliant ...he was going for dual doctorates in quantum physics and computer engineering....
He couldn’t even boil water...but could explain how quantum physics works so I could understand...
Obama isn’t brilliant ...he has a narissitic psychological disorder...
...and an arrogant asshat to boot
People who are leftist/socialist/communist/marxist/progressive are not intelligent. Oh they may have some intelligence, but they are not intelligent. In fact, they are morons. Stupid. Ignorant.
Yes, racist tyranny is so much harder to understand by us common folk. If only we were smarter!
I wonder what the author’s DU screen-name is.
I’ve actually thought the reverse for quite some time - musing that Barry would be a ‘bad chess player’. By that I mean that he really isn’t capable of planning out more than one move ahead.
But I love hearing these stories - go ahead and tell people they’re too stupid to ‘get’ Obama. The only people who believe that really are stupid...and they already support him.
Except that his big picture is the utopia of statism, socialism, redistributionism, egalitarianism, government interventionism, centralized control,environmentalism, social engineering, and social justice.Hopefully, this past election shows that more and more people do understand how destructive his big picture is.
Genius road runner not so sure.
Please smarmy leftist, explain to me from the bowels of your parents basement, the college campus that you never left, the hip beer joint you go to; how Owebowma is so smart and us working stiffs are sooooooo dumb. Please lecture....
Yes... nthat must be it
This is just like when my kids think they are so much smarter than me. I just smile and say “OK honey”
This President is so dumb he can’t even keep his lies straight. His lies are all over the internet and he doesn’t realize or care that he is disproven almost immediately.
If the GOP could understand Criminals they would have no trouble with Obama
Sucker can’t figure out how to get an umbrella through a gate but he’s the smartest human on earth. Yeah, right.
Some people said that about Hitler too.
And that's from three sentences... Glib, my ass! :)
Reminded me of an old Peter Sellers flick where he was a moron who was misunderstood and thought to be a genius by those who considered themselves to be cutting edge elite.
