I guess the more important point is that he was wrong about what he was writing. In particular, I believe that the elder president Bush was probably the most intelligent president we’ve had for many decades, and Reagan and Ford were very underrated. However, I think he has a point that voters don’t like candidates that come across as too intellectual.
Obama might not be “too elite” to get elected, but he is definitely too Marxist.
“Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and John Kerry all were far brighter than their GOP opponents”
The Towering Intellect of Mike Dukakis??? Huh?
Al Gore who flunked out of divinty school and failed his science courses is just a major thinker!
Pa-LEASE!
One thing I do know—he is SUCH A WHINER!!!!!
I called my two Dem Senators today—Biden and Carper—about Feinstein’s amnesty amendment to the Iraq supplemental bill.
Then I told their staffer to have these two, as superdelegates, to call Sen. Obama and tell him to stop being such a crybaby about the “appeasement remarks” by President Bush. I told them the President didn’t mention Obama by name, and everything the President said was factually and historically accurate.
I also gave the Biden staffer what for because of Senator Pottymouth’s swearing yesterday.
I then called Sen. McConnell’s office and asked why more GOP Senators aren’t joining in to defend the President on his remarks and to tell Obama to stop being such a crybaby.
The GOP once again risks losing an advantage by sitting around and letting the Dems run to the microphones and shape public opinion.
Must be awfully embarrasing, then, that George Bush got better grades than John Kerry at Yale.
Original thinking is on vacation when Barack Obama gives a speech. That’s why he needs to say “Just Words?” when quoting great speeches. The men who uttered them first did so at the risk of their lives. When Barack repeats them, they are in fact “Just Words”.
“In 2007 he said that he would meet, in the first year of his presidency, with Iran, North Korea, Syria, and Venezuela. Three of those are listed as state sponsors of terror. They fund and support Hezbollah, Hamas, and others, and Iran is actively helping kill our own soldiers in Iraq.
So, by his own words, to meet with the without condition, he is an appeaser.”
This is a non-issue. Just because you meet with someone doesn’t make you an appeaser. You are an appeaser only if you make some concessions to them. Reagan met with the leaders of “the evil empire” and he was certainly no appeaser.
There are many reasons he is not qualified to be POTUS - lack of experience, Rev. Wright issue, etc.
Weren’t Bush’s GPA’s higher than Kerry’s?......
Keep in mind that they are so smart that only one Democrat since 1964 (44 years ago) has won the position of POTUS with a majority of the electorate. And that was Jimmy who promptly thrown out on his butt after four years.
Notice that all the examples are of leftist/dhimmirat geniuses and conservative dunces.
Of COURSE, you have to be dumb to be a conservative, duh!
What an arrogant ASSumption on the part of the author of this piece.
John W. Dean, of the “Watergate” Dean’s?
I thought he was dead.
Note that Obama will NOT release his transcripts. Easy to act too intelligent when being fed Duval Patrick’s lines.
“I dont think you can call John Dean of the Nixon White House a liberal, despite his being a bit of a hero to them for helping to bring down Nixon.”
John Dean is a real SOB
That’s the problem with the leftist paradigm, the leftist worldview -
they believe that some are more “perfect” or elite than others,
and therefore have the knowledge, wisdom, and the OBLIGATION to make decisions in the lives of others. This is just an assumption on their part, due to their worldview.
This needs to be challenged. They think they know more about running businesses than any businessman running his own business. CHALLENGE IT.
DEMAND to know what they know about small business, and what gives them the right and the authority to tell those who DO know how to run businesses how to run them differently.
DEMAND to know how they can possibly know how any individual child needs to be taught, better than the parents that are raising them.
EXPOSE these arrogant asses for what they are.
A quote from the Oxford Dean of Students during BillyJeff's tenure: "Fat, stoned and stupid is no way to go through life son."
Bush also beat Kerry’s scores on the military assessment tests.
