Obama is not stupid and he is not unintelligent.
He has spent his entire life plotting how to worm/finagle/weasle/conive/plot/strong-arm/work his way into the presidency.
He has no common working knowledge. He knows nothing of foreign policy, defense, economics, energy and ethics.
He is a power hungry lawyer who has spent his life as a political sctivist.
He’s not stupid, nor is he unintelligent. But, he is ignorant.
Methinks it is somebody else who has spent Obama's entire life plotting/finalgling/weaseling/conniving/strong-arming his way into the Presidency.
Somebody else is running the show...
Although most of the mainstream media are still swooning over Barack Obama, a few critics are calling the things he advocates "naive." But that assumes that he is trying to solve the country's problems. If he is trying to solve his own problem of getting elected, then he is telling the voters just what they want to hear. That is not naive but shrewd and cynical.
The corrupt Chicago Democratic machine noticed him and started pushing him because he gives good speeches (when he's on script) and his ethnicity was right for a politically correct run for the Senate, and now the White House. He is a moron - a politically connected moron now - but a moron nonetheless.
