Answer: No. This is the easiest test that I think I ever took.

He is not smart enough to win a Soap Box Derby.

That's because there are no teleprompters in flight school.

One has to say he would never have looked in that direction to start with.

From that point on...

This useless asshat would be lucky to master a three wheel kids bike. No place to put his teleprompters.

The Left tries this on on every single conservative candidate, Reagan was an amiable old dunce, Bush I was a rich fool, Dole was a geriatric dummy, Quayle was a stupid young frat-boy (so was Bush II), Palin and Bachmann are both back-woods rednecks and bible-thumpers. Now Perry is in the media, the same is being tried on him.

The urban leftists will of course eat this narrative up, and they are the MSM after all - but I’m surprised they think the rest of us are so gullible, seeing that it is used every single time.

Obama is the product of affirmative action policies. He got into Columbia because of them, he got into Harvard Law because of them, and he got elected President because of them.

I hope they keep pressing this issue actually. The inevitable rejoiner is, okay Obama release your college transcripts. Lets see how smart you are.

While Rick Perry spent his youth piloting C-130s for the United States Air Force,
Obama was getting high in an entirely different way.

Only time he would fly then was when he was all “weewee’d” up.

I suspect Obama wears velcro strapped shows or slip ons, because he’s too stupid to have learned how to tie laces.

Thanks for posting that.

Saw it the other day and it reflects precisely the difference between the two, we don’t call him Zer0 for nothing.

As one of those USAF pilots and one who was an IP at Edwards AFB...nope, the Obamabutt couldn’t even find the mechanisms to close the canopy.

Oh, W managed to get through UPT and get qualified in a 1-seat interceptor - a plane which had some “interesting” handling characteristics that could bite a spazmo pilot.

Perry completed UPT - the latter half of which required safely piloting a T-38 supersonic machine. Again, this one can also bite (try getting just a few knots slow during the final turn, and it will really be your FINAL turn).

Does anyone think our Spaz-O-Matic Cretin-in-Chief could even get through the light plane portion of pilot training?

Bwahahahahahahah!
