"When he lectured at Chicago, his fellow lecturers considered him “stupid”, “ignorant” and “lazy”—and I think they hit all three nails on the head. If you think he’s brilliant,...."

Please. Might I suggest you purchase RADICAL-IN-CHIEF" by Stanley Kurtz.
Kurtz goes into many details just on that period alone while in the Kenyan's life as a teaching professor. And he carefully outlines why the Kenyan was very short on giving lectures. The Kenyan was as many of his fellow travelers steeped in socialism, often weary of saying to much solid stuff. The are careful not to give away their true intentions. They are stealth at soft talking their audiences, the right mix of words... social justice, the poor's conditions, etc. They don't for the most part give away their dream of turning the United States into a pure Socialistic Society. He was so busy intertwined with so many of the Socialist organizations and funds e.g. Chicago's Woods Charitable Fund, Chicago Annenberg Challenge (a foundation Bill Ayers created), ACORN, the Midwest Academy, just to name few players.... all formed and ran by long time Socialist, Communist, far left liberals who slowly got sucked into the fold in many different and often at first appearing slightly divergent paths.
Don't think for a minuted that the Kenyan is stupid. Every action he takes or his fellow travelers take or do not take is totally calculated.
He is cold and heartless. He is not pragmatic. He is a total socialist ideologist. And as Kurtz over some four hundred pages of infinite details starting roughly with those days the Kenyan attended the Cooper Union Socialist Scholars Convention upward to half a year ago... does a splendid job at bring out so many details about the goon's many years tied directly in with Frances Fox Piven, Bill Ayers...
the lists are so long. So many people morphed from the earlier days of the Communist movements in the USA... it is all spelled out. Often appears a bit boring or like Kurtz might just be raising points more then once, then bingo he springs a whole new set of things in the quest all the mentors, close friends, business associates, many different levels of various kinds of neighborhood organizers, Saul Alinsky....
There where good reasons, Obi stayed low while in that teaching position. Kurtz goes into how the why, how the Kenyan was great with the student body but distant with the staff.
Every move he made for many years in so many different connections with the so many far left groups, funds, etc., is brought out.
No. The Kenyan is not stupid. He is total stealth. Hard cold calculator.
And you know what. He is waiting for the upcoming fight as this new Congress comes into session. Kurtz outlines why. Think how many of the down trodden masses that will be denied full health care will be if the Repubs can cut back on what the socialist managed to get into place. Strict calculated strategies by the Socialist that put him in place to be at this point in time, are smiling. Class warfare. Rotten Republicans taking from the poor. Demands by even more of the downtrodden lead by their shining hero's the Democrats, demanding social justice be served.
Then there is the issues with the taking over of two US Auto firms and a host of banks. Read and then weep after reading yet another 2010 hot off the press book titled "Bought and Paid For" by Charles Gasparino. How this guy you call stupid sucked the biggest Wall Street Banks into his hands, then screwed them for the most part.
No. I would have to disagree with your premise the goon is stupid. On the contrary. He is very smart within his practiced profession of neighborhood organizer then political elected State Senator, then US Senator, the POTUS. He is ultra dangerous to the very concept of free enterprise and balanced fair play democracy.
I only would add. If you decide to purchase either book do understand both are very detailed and sometimes require a bit of patience. Both authors weave the spider webs carefully. Thanks for bearing with me on this rather long comment.
I just felt it was time I had a bit to say regarding the dye in the wool Socialist that a mass of idiots across the spectrum willingly voted into office.
I do not insist in rebuttals. Read the books then get back to me if you still are not convinced he is cold and calculating. He sometimes speaks with language you and I may deem as stupid. But don't let that fool you. Look upon the crowds he administers his ongoing neighborhood organizing, now in the form at the pulpit as POTUS.
In closing. Do remember the scene in Blazing saddles after Bart closes the door and lowers the gun from his head... "oh i'm sooo clever....and their soooo stupid".
Then think how this administration has literally taken control of part of our major financial and industrial industry. No. The Kenyan is not stupid. Every move is calculated through the years.
The goal of the Kenyan and his masters is to slowly take control of private enterprise. Not literally destroy it. Then there would be no money to feed the masses. Step at a time over many far left leaning administrations. It takes a long time. Obama carefully calculates with his fellow travelers how best to transform the American miracle of free enterprise into a state controlled form. Don't think for a minuted that the powers that be on the far left and all their even farther left associates in so many different forms would allow for this guy to have risen to the top if they thought he was stupid. I rest my case.
Do both have a great upcoming day. I have to hit the rack.
PS. After a quick Preview I notice a few spelling a grammar errors. I'm to tired to go back and make the corrections. Forgive me for the omissions. And please do acknowledge I throw in so many things in such a short order just to give you a glimpse into what Kurtz's goes into in detail. To perhaps allow you to understand this dangerous mixed commie and socialist is not stupid. But calculating to the minute.
