In their quest to widen the low-road and increase its rider-ship, the liberal Washington, D.C-based Politico just offered up this hackneyed but oh so predictable headline: Is Rick Perry Dumb?
Really? While its no surprise to conservatives and independents that the liberal mainstream media would pull out the old attack Ronald Reagan hand-book, dust it off, and use its previously discredited assaults to go after the surging Perry, a better question to be asked is:
What are they all so afraid of?
First of all, something which must be highlighted and stressed by all who care about fairness and accuracy is that Texas Gov. Rick Perry not only honorably served in our military but that he was a decorated Air Force pilot.
At about the same age that President Obama (by his own admission) was trying to find himself and experimenting with drugs, Perry was strapping himself into the cockpit of multi-million dollar Air Force aircraft.
For those on the left who may not understand as many look down upon our military and mock its very existence, getting through flight training and becoming a pilot in the United States Air Force is a very exacting process which actually does take a high degree of intelligence, skill, judgment, and even courage.

And that is about all that he has mastered
I was going to answer, ‘yes’, but that was because I misunderstood the question.
I thought the question was, “Could Obama make it with an airforce pilot”
Did you see Obama ride that bicycle?
Oh yeah, Obama can toss salad with the best of thm
Em.
LMAO!!!!!!!
...(Obama) had accomplished very little before he ran for president, having never run a business or a state; that he had a singularly unremarkable career as a law professor, publishing nothing in 12 years at the University of Chicagoother than an autobiography; and that, before joining the United States Senate, he had voted present (instead of yea or nay) 130 times, sometimes dodging difficult issues.
That wuss could barely ride a bike. I don’t even think he has a driver’s license. Never saw him drive anything other than a golf cart.
They don't hesitate to lie and have no shame about it.
Answer NO,
in fact I have $100 to your favorite charity that Obama could not have passed my Written test for my instrument rating, let alone actually fly the plane. Hell The Private test would be far too difficult. Let alone Air Force Academy Training.
As defined by the MSM:
Smart - has an Ivy League education
Dumb - everyone else
As I understand it, this is more like an "attack Dwight Eisenhower" hand-book. Probably even older than that...
Funny how all the Obama praise is based on absolutely no evidence, urban legend and the dreams of sycophants.
Would he have passed the mandatory piss test?
Obama tried to get into the USAF, but when he got to the induction center and saw all those dopers and father-rapers* and communists, he knew it was hopeless. He went home, renounced his citizenship and applied to Harvard instead.
*Don’t be alarmed. It’s an Arlo Guthrie reference.
I wonder who will play Perry on Saturday Night Live alongside Tina Fey?
Did they also show the 8 X 10 glossy pictures?
Obama walked into the Army shrink’s office with another guy and sang “Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice’s restaurant” in two-part harmony.
That’s why they wouldn’t take either of them.
