I know you were looking for more, but that's where my "teleprompter" statement came from. I really don't think he has a grasp of much of anything else - certainly not science or economics.
My honest opinion of him is that he's the tool of someone else - someone with some money and with a motivation that is counter to the free enterprise system that has helped make this country great.
I see something of the points both of you are trying to make. I’m just considering, as the discussion develops, what evidence we have that Barack Obama is more than average smart, as we generally measure these things in terms of grades, test scores, or specific accomplishments such as learning Greek, which I find pretty easy because it’s surprisingly similar to Spanish, as was Japanese.
