The meteoric rise to the presidency of Barack Obama was fueled in no small part by the widely-accepted contention that he was one of the smartest men ever to seek the Oval Office. He is not the first leader to be oversold.
"As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist, he is neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational art, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. Other than that he's a great military man -- I want you to know that." It is an article of faith among the mainstream media, even on the squishy right (Bill O'Reilly comes to mind), to start any discussion of the 44th President with a ritual expression of utter amazement at his enormous brain power.
This immortal witticism of Gen. Normal Schwarzkopf after a lightning 1991 campaign that cut to pieces the Iraqi dictator's vaunted army resonates with me each time I read or hear any discussion of President Obama.

So with compliments to General Schwarzkopf: as far as Barack Obama being smart as a whip, he has no clue in economics, nor has he any understanding of foreign policy; he is supremely arrogant and doesn't care if it rubs people the wrong way; he has few political skills and no administrative ability, nor does he have any desire to engage in the day-to-day drudgery of ruling, preferring to reign instead; he revels in the luxury of presidential perks and delights in flaunting his excess. Other than that he is a true genius.
He’s as smart as his teleprompters.
Sharp as a
0bama claims to not be bi-lingual. Odd for someone who has spent so much time abroad.
0bama claims to not be swayed by Reverend Wright’s anti-White sermons. Odd for someone who has spent so much time in his church.
0bama needs professionals to explain or “clarify” every non-teleprompted utterance that he makes. Odd for someone who is such an accomplished “orator.”
Perfectly natural for an average Joe who snorted cocaine and passed the time by smoking reefers in High School, but the above would be odd for someone with a sky-high IQ.
Draw your own conclusions...
If Obama is so smart, why did his former co-workers say he was, “lazy, arrogant, and easily the lowest IQ in the building?” Smart people are generally complimented by their peers.
I don't think the meter goes that low.
I have seen no independently verifiable evidence to suggest obama is smarter than Palin or Bush.
As one poster said on Lucianne, Obama was “affirmative actioned” to third base, and convinced himself he got a triple. The trouble is, we are supposed to go along with the charade.
He isn’t even a great speaker without his teleprompter. Check YouTube for “Obama stutters” and see how “smart” he is. He was elected because of his perceived race - no other reason.
Anybody ever post his IQ? Is that secret like everything else about him? Mystery, Babylon The Great?
That describes my liberal, waiting to inherit brother-in-law to a "T".
Why does Zero keep his college transcripts under lock and key? (In the same lock box as his birth certificate.)
and they said he stinks also.
Did any one ever notice what happens when we write “Zero”, but instead of the “Z” - use an “0”, like we do with 0bama . . . and one gets an amazing commentary on the halfrican non-american.
but I think the word in context would probably be considered racist.
He was a Manchurian candidate for sure. He was propped up all along. It would be an academic study to review what exactly happened to cause the party elite to favor Obama over Hillary Clinton. At the time of campaigning, I thought she was a shoe in.
Not a big fan of Imus, but he does occasionally pick up the obvious nut.
“O” is patently incompetent at EVERYTHING.
He very obviously does NOT understand a thing about History and demonstrates this everytime he tries to speak on foreign policy or on any domestic issue which requires a frame of reference based on history or historical fact. He is an IDIOT and does not even know he is an IDIOT. That is the most offensive kind of idiot! Oh brother, Pee Wee Herman is a menta giant next to this guy
Obama transferred schools after his first two years, so his GPA from Occidental is irrelevant. Then he finished at Columbia College, an alternative school that is affiliated with Columbia University. Alternative schools usually allow the student to write his own curriculum and sign a contract to complete it. As far as we know, no one ever saw Barack Obama on the campus of Columbia college, nor does anyone remember ever being in a class with him. He did have an apt. and a roommate, just a couple of blocks from where William Ayres was living at the time. We also know that Obama travelled to Pakistan at that time, but we do not know how long he stayed there, or when he returned. It is possible that he was studying there and getting credit from Columbia College for his work in Pakistan.
