No one gets elected President by being stupid, unless of course the election is stolen in cities controlled by the Democratic Party, but one must also factor in the intelligence of nearly half of the voters who pull the Democratic Party lever no matter who the candidate may be.
America is seriously divided between liberals and conservatives, but there are indications that even those who self-identify as liberals are having second thoughts as the result of the havoc ObamaCare has inflicted on their lives and the economy. Voters who self-identify as “independents” are the deciding factor in most elections. They reflect disenchantment with both parties.
I have been thinking about whether Obama is stupid because he has been in Europe with the leaders of the nations who are grappling with the seizure of Crimea by Russia. I keep wondering, given his record at this point, whether they too think he’s stupid. He has taken the most powerful and respected nation in the world and reduced it to ridicule and disdain. When he leaves the room do they shake their head and roll their eyes?
The question of whether Obama is stupid would seem to be disputed by the fact that he is a Harvard Law School graduate and one has to have some degree of intelligence to navigate that. His undergraduate college is Columbia University, one of the most liberal in the nation. In neither case do we know how Obama did academically because he took care to have his records kept from public review.
Indeed, most public records regarding his life, including his birth certificate have been kept hidden. The one he provided has been deemed a forgery. There are claims as well that his Social Security number is questionable.

He’s only as smart as his teleprompter.
+1 Barry is a product of what you get with affirmative action.
He is not as smart as he thinks he is. If he were only half as smart as he thinks he is, he’d be a lot better off than he is now.
He is demon possessed.
No doubt. No doubt.
I think the author is playing the role of Captain Obvious just to tee up the national clown for another deserved beat-down.
Which works for me. IMHO,
1) Obama is fairly intelligent with an IQ of around 120. He does best in abstract, “poetic” areas with no real answers, just subjective observation, and floating above it all. This is the perfect sea for an empty vessel to catch the tailwinds of racially subjective evaluation.
2) He can’t cope with mathematics, science, or engineering, stochastics, accurate spelling and usage, or any “hard-edged” subject; these require disciplined work and a verifiable work-product. (His transcripts probably show decent grades; either he is ashamed of the lack of hard courses, he didn’t really finish at Columbia, or he has to hide everything to keep his foreign student gambit under wraps.)
3) Obama appears to be an idiot because he lacks both natural and learned executive abilities, and was raised outside of American culture in an ambiguous world on the periphery of Indonesian royalty as an outsider, in Hawaii as an outsider, etc. His identity confusion creates insecurity, which makes him indecisive. Ungrounded in practical values as a child, and self-admittedly lazy, Obama found Marxist ideology very compelling; it says it is scientific and explains it all.
4) 1960’s era Leftist cant about capitalism and imperialism informs Obama’s worldview. After that, he basically stopped learning. His facility with this impressed Leftist profs and Chicago communists. Once he achieved entry to Columbia and Harvard through extensive political lobbying, he was guaranteed “academic” success. He has never engaged with real-world business and economics, so he falls back on the dogma that served him so well in his youth, even if he had to hide it to get elected.
5) Because many voters found him handsome, cool, hip, young, or whatever, he sailed into office on an updated “Warren Harding effect”, and selling empty promises to empty heads. He is the perfect puppet.
Bottom line ... has genetics for intelligence but now is functionally stupid and definitely in the wrong job.
anyone that autographs a projection wall, ain’t the sharpest pencil in the box
He’s dumber than donuts, but he is slick.
I love number 5. Very perceptive.
Actually, we should laud Obama, in public and often, as “The Man Who Finally Destroyed Socialism In America”.
In his efforts to socialize medicine, he has shown the utter failure of every one of the socialist programs, going back to LBJ and FDR. He has galvanized the opposition, many of whom were comfortable with “bad” as long as it didn’t get “worse”, not realizing that it will always “progressively” worse until our nation is bankrupted.
So now we see clearly that “Socialism delenda est”, that Socialism must be destroyed. Torn down, not just ruined, with not a brick or pottery fragment remaining, and its fields plowed with salt, so it can never again menace our society. Not just buried in the ash heap of history, but degraded in the cesspit of history.
I sparred with a lot of libs during the 2012 election. Most of them used the excuse that Romney was just so bad that they had to vote for Obama. They had changed their tune, but they still claimed they actually saw him as a better choice. It was pretty funny, actually.
What about the ones that certified him based on fraud and or hidden documents. They as well as his supporters should be removed from government and... Remember his own biography said he was born in Kenya and he used that for 16 years. Self edited
Anybody over the age of forty who believes in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy or the Socialist Utopia is STUPID.
Period.
Pretty stupid assertion.
A lot of the independents are on this forum, and they didn’t vote for either of the candidates pushing socialized medicine.
One result is that when people recognize the true nature of these manipulators, it makes God look bad in the world's eyes, this behavior being a false representation of God's nature. After all, these are his dedicated "believers". IOW, in their day-to-day actions, certain religous folk perpetually bear false witness.
Compare:
Chillul haShem (Hebrew: חילול השם desecration of the Name), meaning desecration of the name of God, is a term used in Judaism for any act or behavior that casts shame or brings disrepute to belief in God, any aspect of the Torah's teachings, Jewish law, or the Jewish community.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chillul_Hashem
The name of God is thereby blasphemed among the nations by these false witnesses.
God is not mocked.
IF Obama's NOT destyroying this country on purpose, then he really is stupid... Hard to believe anyone could be that stupid, but it's possible. Three choices: stupid, evil, or control by someone else...
Pretty stupid response. First, Romney did win independent voters 50% to 45%. These are people who actually voted and provided their party ID.
Second, anecdotal information from this forum is worthless. My "assertion" is based on exit polls using standard polling methods and criteria.
