The High School Valedictorian Presidency

Yes, the president is an idealist. He’s a peace and love man of the highest order trying to remake the world. But idealism without intellect is a waste of time and energy, at best, and has the potential to create multiple catastrophes. When Barack Obama speaks, the emanating sound is that of a high school valedictorian who thinks he knows so much more than he actually does — but is too young to realize how little he knows.

high school valedictorian? he is more like the druggie loser with sagging pants that barely graduates, but is able to have all his records sealed and then gets the media to imply that he was the valedictorian.

Too bad his inaugural address was NOT a valediction (farewell).

He’s a peace and love man

How can he be that AND a muzzie at the same time?

I also love it when he makes biblical allusions without any idea about context and implications.

Seriously, the man is no “intellect”.

Remember, the “Peace of Islam” is when everyone in the world is converted, enslaved, or dead.

Statement: "The High School Valedictorian Presidency"

Response: It is worse than " A High School Presidency" It is a number of fundamental flaws: such as a relatively limited intelligence, lack of judgement, lack of foresight, and a lack of self control. He is a nice litle boy that learned to verbally massage a degenerate populace with words that neither he nor his deluded followers understand. Parrots and Myna birds.

“idealism without intellect” can also lead to a lynch mob (see the French Revolution).
