Smart or not Obama has a difficult sell in the debates:
-His task is to defend socialist and divisive policies without appearing either socialist or divisive.
-His task is to defend failing policies that have poor results, without a doubt. When Obama says Trust me - more of the same will yield good results, not the bad results we have achieved so far. That dog wont hunt.
No matter how smart he is, these points are indefensible.
