I think Obama is a reasonably intelligent man. But, I don’t think he’s all that.
In fact, I was watching Fox showing him do his “you didn’t build your business” talk yesterday. He was clearly struggling putting the words and ideas together. The delivery was very weak, and he was oozing uncertainty.
In a speech class it was clearly a C- effort. And this is the master speech maker.
That’s how I see him in other areas: capable but nothing to write home about.
I disagree with your view. I think Obma is at best average intelligence, but he fried his remaining brain cells with pot and coke. He clearly is not any sort of extemporaneous speaker, which is a sign of intelligence. He is not a master speech maker. He does know how to read the words of other writers. He is undoubtedly a product of Affirmative Action preferences and his “black” skin.
I respectfully disagree. I’ve watched, listened to this clown speak far too many times. He’s utterly worthless without his teleprompter; whenever he goes off ‘prompter, he stutters and stammers and gropes like the amateur he really is. The man can’t string a coherent train of thought together.
No, his “intelligence” is an MSM-created myth, along with pretty much everything else about him. He’s truly the village idiot.
Obama’s reputation as a master speech maker is based solely on reading a teleprompter. When he actually has to think on his feet and speak off the cuff he fails miserably. This has always been the case.
Why anyone somehow imagines that he’s a genius really escapes me. He certainly has never accomplished anything of note which would indicate it.
