The biggest continuing fallacy is that these people are smart. Off the teleprompter, Obama sounds like a nitwit. He couldn’t hang in an aggressive conversation/argument at the local bar. Hillary Clinton? Are you kidding me? Much of what comes out of her mouth is pure mindless, whiney drivel, and she exhibits no particular talent whatsoever. People like Geithner? Hugely overmatched by his job. This bs about Ivy League people being ‘smart’ is absurd. They are poorly educated numb nuts who were/are naive enough to buy into leftist propaganda, while the common truck driver sniffs that crap out in about two minutes. Smart, my ass. This administration is really dumb, and without the constant cover provided by the media, most would acknowledge them to be the national joke that they are.
I believe he sounds very smart when he’s talking to “his people”, ie the leftists.
He only sounds like a nitwit talking to America because he’s being careful not to say anything that can be used against him ...
An Ivy League education is no guarantee of common sense or even actual intelligence. Someone with a great memory and a good work ethic can do very well in school. But when it comes to actual problem solving, specifically to problems that haven't been solved before, they can be complete failures in spite of all that education. Schools really don't teach problem solving for the most part. They teach tools that can be applied to the process.
Mark Twain said, "Never let your schooling interfere with your education."
Or as a wise professor of mine once said, "In college you spend four years learning the rules, you spend the rest of your life learning the exceptions."

Raptor you hit the nail on the head. Barack Obama as POTUS is a product of both Affirmative Action and the Peter Principle run amok. This fraud has never held a real job or had to make a payroll; I wouldn’t trust Obama to run a hot dog stand. These Ivy League twits are nothing but brain-washed leftist posers who think they are smarter than they really are. The so-called MSM, who represent the “C” students” of the world, adore these pencil-necks, really because most of the media twerps went to the 2nd and 3rd tier colleges or universities and believe the crap aboput the Ivy League superiority.
