We had a game in elementary school. It was called olympics of the mind. This individual(obama) would get schooled from a 2nd grader...

He's the biggest turd in the punchbowl.

Nice concept for an essay but riddled with holes. :-(

Every bill coming out of Congress next year should include a provision requiring Obama to release his academic records.

I'd like to see Obama giving the justification for vetoing the bills containing this requirement.

My non-expert opinion: He is not the smartest person in every room. He is unquestionably the biggest jackazz in the world at this time. I am certain that in the fullness of time, his truth will be exposed.

Obama is a legend in his own mind.

The smartest person in one room fully understands that he may not be the smartest person in the next. That's a large part of what it takes to be "the smartest person in the room."

Good call. I think Obama's narcissism really shines through in this sort of observation. There are a lot of smart freepers who have worked with some very special individuals in their lives. Anyone who has had that sort of experience ought to be fully aware that overweening self-confidence is an error -- the guy next to you might well be three steps ahead of you in his thinking. Smart people like to work with other smart people -- and having someone possibly out-think you is part of the adrenaline rush.

If Obama always thinks he is the smartest person in the room, then he is a fool, and probably crazy to boot.

"...Obama's problem is that he is not insecure -- he always believes he is the smartest person in any room and never feels the sense of panic..."

To hell with Obama's problem. Our problem is that Obama is afflicted with narcissistic personality disorder.

"Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by a long-standing pattern of grandiosity (either in fantasy or actual behavior), an overwhelming need for admiration, and usually a complete lack of empathy toward others.... While this pattern of behavior may be appropriate for a king in 16th Century England, it is generally considered inappropriate for most ordinary people today."

...as long as “the room” is a closet...

The work is still above his pay grade...

[FreedomForce]

He thinks corpsman is pronounced corpseman and that Austrian is a language. How smart could he be?

My guess is that they’re not releasing his IQ because it’s lower than GWB’s, and how would the media spin that?

I’m not sure he’d be the smartest one on the room if he were alone with Trig Palin.

If there was Obama and his dog Bo in the same room, Guess what the dog is even smarter than Obama, because the dog would leave the room at the earliest possible moment. Just think of it, the dog is so smart that Obama has to pick up after him. So much for the smartest man in the world, as he is dumberer than a Dog.

Didn't aging has-been Sharon Stone continually remind us she was a genius? She at least had to memorize her lines. Obama: Not As Smart As Sharon Stone.

[The Comedian]

Let's have a look at his school records to see how smart he is...oh, right.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[Daveinyork]

If he’s talking to the press, he’s probably right.

[LibLieSlayer]

When you are as dumb as a box of hammers and billed as the smartest man in the room... it does not take long for the lie to become obvious... even to a nation of hammers.

It is very easy to be the smartest kid in the room when you exclude everyone who might disagree with you.

When I was in school we called a person who acted in this manner a “bully”.

Smart kids knew that they were smart because they were constantly tested against others.

I have yet to see this smartest kid in the room under go any kind of test much less an honest one (no automatic disqualification based on being a racist).
