How do we know Obama is so all fired ‘intellectual’? He hides all of his school records.

Only thing Vidal is right about is Obama being incompetent.There are nascent embryonic Hitler Youth out there, but the only ones are very and easily provably in OBAMA’s camp. This is blatantly obvious for anyone who’s awake and has been paying attention. This is a classic example of intellectual astigmatism on Vidal’s part.
But I would NEVER expect Vidal to come over to the conservative side, though he is far from stupid. He’s just totally stuck in this Post Cold War “attitude”. It’s too late for him to change.

Gore Vidal is a pretentious prick whose entire life ,as well as his "intellectualism", expose him as an effete windbag who poses as way above the rest of mankind in intellect and one of perhaps a dozen intellectuals still living.

The man is a self proclaimed analyst of world matters. Like a stopped clock he is right once in a while.

Let me get this straight...Vidal thinks Obama is incompetent because he's too soft to terrorize his opponents...and then goes on to characterize the republicans as Hitler youth types? Seems that's what he's whining he wants Obama to be. More liberal projection.

It's a pity because he's the first intellectual president we've had in many years

LOL.

I guess liberals define 'intellectualism' as being able to talk a good game and bullshit a majority of the voting public while producing nothing of substance.

Many years ago, Wm F Buckley and Myra Vidal were together punditing a political convention on network tv. Vidal foolishly called Buckley a Nazi, and buckley let him have it. Saying something to the effect that Vidal was nothing but a pornagrapher and a sexual deviate. For NBC or whatever, back in those days it was astonishing.

“The only way to handle them is to terrify them.”

“Terrify them”

Too bad irony is so far outside of liberal intellectual capacity,’cause this is a good one.

“Those all sound pretty “intellectual” to me, but I guess I'm not a has-been ex-pat hack writer in France.”

Actually Obozo qualifies as an intellectual over all of the others you cite in that of ALL of them Obozo is the only one who has never actually accomplished anything in his entire life.

Oh no! Obama is losing the Loony Left! That was his most loyal constituency.

Luckily, he will still have illegal aliens and dead voters to rely on in the 2012 election.

I think he went there because “buggery” of little boys has been more accepted there for a long time.

Gore Vidal clearly demostarates the biggest problem with intellect and that is that most who consider themselves this way can barely function in life. IMHO a smart person with common sense beats intellectuals any day!
