Obama seems to be fairly intelligent, although people give him a lot of extra credit because he has a true genius as a performance artist. A silver tongue can create the impression of more smarts than its owner truly possesses.
The biggest proclaimers of 0bama’s intellect
are those that want to think of themselves as intellectuals as well.
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.
A genius at a con.
I haven't seen even a glimmer of that. He misuses words, e.g., enormity. He mispronounces words, e.g., corps pronounced corpse. He uses poor grammar, e.g., "President Bush invited Michelle and I to the White House."
Big deal, he got into Harvard and was editor or president of the Law Review. Unfortunately he just reinforces the stereotype of someone who has been promoted above his abilities.

Honestly, I’ve seen drunks make more sense than Obama... hell, I bet I could win a straight-up debate [rather than a “dog & pony” televised-debate] while drunk.
