Great, another 9/11 "truther," just what we need! "Renowned" by whom? He's right about Dear Leader being over his head, but wrong about everything else. "...first intellectual president we've had in many years..." I thought President Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar? Wasn't President George H.W. Bush Director of Central Intelligence, Ambassador to China, a Yalie, etc.? Doesn't President George W. Bush have a Harvard MBA? Wasn't President Carter a nuclear submarine officer? Those all sound pretty "intellectual" to me, but I guess I'm not a has-been ex-pat hack writer in France.

a kook

Statement: "It's a pity because he's the first intellectual president we've had in..."

Response: Vidal can still demonstrate some sharp sarcastic wit!

[ElayneJ]

Has any one of these “intellectuals” said exactly how President Bush violated the Constitution? IMO, they have no idea - they’re just going with the pack mentatlity, no matter how intellectual they’re supposed to be.

[Gay State Conservative]

"He's incompetent."

He's worse than that.He's an empty suit.

"He will be defeated for re-election."

Not if you scumbags get to choose our nominee again like you did last year.

Oh, shut up already Mr. Vidal. Obama wanted the job and now he’s got it. The poor, poor kid. Pfft. This man is delusional.

[Tempest]

How on earth does such a blatantly biased jackass receive the title of “renowned historian”

[eclecticEel]

You’re a freak Gore (much like the other famous one), but I hope you’re absolutely correct on your prediction.

[HiTech RedNeck]

By intellectual he means Marxist.

[Steven Tyler]

There you go again-equating Book intelligence with leadership

[Hodar]

Obama is the first ‘intellectual’ in the office in years?
Generals in charge of thousands of lives, tell the CIC ‘lies’, and the CIC believes them?
Conservatives are ‘haters’ and the only way to keep them in place is to terrify them?

Yes, he’s renowned, in the same manner as any mentally disturbed elitest considers himself ‘renowned’. What a pompous, self-righteous, ignorant and arrogant twit.

[avacado]

I never did care for the Vidal Sassoon hair care products. Way too metrosexual for my liking.

[4rcane]

the myth of obama intelligence was formed from the book bill ayers wrote for him. Bill Ayers is a good writer, we give him that, but Obama is not

[Jack Hammer]

Vidal never met a communist he couldn’t love; if even he prognosticates that Obama’ll lose the election in 2012, then Obama’s toast.

[Clioman]

Vidal has long since lived in Europe, and they surely deserve one another.

[tcrlaf]

If you’ve been following Lib/Democrat websites on Vidal’s comments, he’s committed HERESY, and is currently being excommunicated from the Church of Liberalism....

[RichInOC]

The man’s been calling conservatives and Republicans Nazis for (at least) forty years. You’d think one of The Great American Writers would have come up with better material by now.

[Caipirabob]

It's a mindset, like Hitler Youth. It's full of hatred.

Cool! We're Hitler youth! National Socialism for everyone! Let's betray Israel and go Sarah Palin by visciously assaulting her family at every turn...no wait, that's the DEMONCRATS...

[wolfcreek]

Black theology = Intellectual President

[garyhope]

“he's the first intellectual president we've had in many years,” ROFLMAO.

If it's coming from Gore Vidal, loathsome, decadent, degenerate, treasonous, perfidious, America hating, homo commie scum then it's for sure that it's really, really true. Un huh. I believe him.
