We’re confusing terms here. There is smart, and there is wise; there is dull and there is ignorant and there is stupid. They are not all the same.

During his interview with Jay Leno Tuesday night, Obama made what Glenn Beck called a “staggering geographical gaffe” when he said we need to deepen “our ports all along the Gulf — in places like Charleston, South Carolina, or Savannah, Georgia, or Jacksonville, Florida.” But those ports are on the Atlantic, not the Gulf Coast! Dust off the articles of impeachment! (Never mind that they serve the Gulf, even if they aren’t actually on it.)

Really..what the hell does that mean, they serve the Gulf??..they serve the gulf breakfast?!??!..after reading this tripe, one must ask the author, do you swallow or spit?!?!?

For starters, B-HO is mathematically challenged. His grammar is poor. He doesn’t know how many states this nation has. He knows very little history. What has he been doing over the years with this astoundingly high IQ the MSM has assigned to him?

[fortheDeclaration]

But no one really believes that and even Obama’s most ardent critics have never questioned his intelligence

Clearly, this guy never read FR threads.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

The narrative here would seem to be that Obama is dumb and doesn’t even know basic geography. But no one really believes that and even Obama’s most ardent critics have never questioned his intelligence.

Baloney. Our president is a living example of the basic truth that an Ivy League education combined with an utter lack of experience in any productive work can produce a naive ideologue who spends his life being surprised that his university classroom stereotypes and cliches don't actually have anything to do with the real world.

[muir_redwoods]

I’ve never seen a shred of evidence that Obama has anything more than an average intelligence if that. He’s not well-spoken, shows no sign of being well-read and fell for the idiocy of socialism. He’s a chump.

[Heart of Georgia]

Okay, this person admits obama says totally wrong and/or stupid stuff.

Then he uses some kind of pretzel logic to make his point that:

Since obama’s considered intelligent by any and all who matter...his stupidity is okay.

When obama gets his “facts” partially right...his partial stupidity is okay.

And since his stupidity isn’t due to the fact that he’s a doddering old fool — but just has his facts wrong or partially wrong...it’s okay.

And finally, since obama’s not a dimwit like the one who exposes his evil plans for the US on an almost daily basis...it’s all okay!

FAIL

And why bring up the “irrelevant” Sarah anyway?

They’re all finding out how right and relevant she’s been all along. That’s why.

[Mr. Jeeves]

...even Obama’s most ardent critics have never questioned his intelligence. Instead of the hapless dunce in the mold of liberals’ anti-Bush caricatures, conservatives see Obama as a conniving radical. Or an out-of-touch, former law professor, ivory tower elitist. Either way, not dumb.

Oh, he's dumb all right, but he's clever - he knows he can push and push and few will dare try to stop him, and he thinks he already knows everything he needs to know and won't be advised differently.

She got that right, but not the way she meant. Obama is an evil, bigoted, anti-American communist, but at least he is too lazy and stupid to do as much damage to the United States as a free country as he would like to inflict. I don't question his intelligence or his morals, not when he has consistently proven that both are negligible.

[Tanniker Smith]

One can be conniving and radical and still not too bright. And one can become a professor and not be book smart if one never attended class and gets installed for political reasons.

But, Alex, you might want to check your own magazine before you start projecting. Yes, projecting. Bush was supposed to be the world’s biggest dunce (next to Palin, maybe) and yet (the story goes) he fooled everyone in the world about WMDs and everything else in the war and he was constantly misunderestimated.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

I’m sure the Gulf must touch several of the 57 States. /S

[SuziQ]

Ted Cruz said today that he modeled his campaign after Obama’s because it was so smart and effective.

Doesn't mean Obama is smart; frankly I haven't seen any real evidence of that contention. I think what Cruz meant was that the Obama campaign was smart, which means it was run by smart people, but that does not necessarily mean Obama.

[IronJack]

conservatives see Obama as a conniving radical ... not dumb.

On the contrary. THIS conservative sees obama as a DUMB conniving radical. Among other things ...

when Sarah Palin says North Korea is our ally, it’s funny because of her overbearing jingoism and perceived dimness.

"perceived dimness" that is manufactured and perpetuated by the lying media, just like George Bush's, Dan Quayle's, Gerald Ford's, or even Ronald Reagan's.

Stop pretending you aren't masters at manipulating images and admit that the sainted genius myth of barack obama is largely a media fiction. The guy is an idiot, a bungler, and an inepticon.

[Amagi]

LOL.
Lame stream media queuing up to lick the crap off The One's boots after Odumbo steps in it yet again.

[Intolerant in NJ]

The narrative here would seem to be that Obama is dumb and doesn’t even know basic geography. But no one really believes that...I do - trust me - I've done hundreds of intellectual assessments - why else has he spent several million dollars trying to keep his academic records hidden - we elected an affirmative action president - we deserve what we got......

[Smokin' Joe]

Yabbut, let Tina Fey makd a comment about being able to see Russia, and the media go hogwild all over Sarah Palin.

Obama gets another mulligan.
