They won't even let him speak to
4th graders without the
teleprompter (TOTUS).
We
know he's a disaster when left to speak on his own (video)
His academic records are either
sealed or "lost" -- not just his
college records -- all the way back to kindergarten.
Just look at
that photo. Obama is unable or not allowed to speak to grammar
school children.
He shows up -- reads a speech he doesn't
understand that was written by someone he doesn't know -- and goes off
to the next set-up -- it's all he does -- the endless campaign -- yada,
yada, yada -- Obama
gave 158 puff-ball interviews and 411 TOTUS-supported speeches in
his first year -- he's all talk -- he confuses governing with reading.
Obama is well known for lifting others' ideas, and assuming
credit when things go well -- assigning blame when they don't.
Obama's game is the old
okie-dokie -- y'all know about okie dokie, right? -- he tries to
bamboozle you -- hoodwink ya -- tries to hoodwink ya -- Alright!
Who, besides the propagandists in the ObamaMedia, who says this guy is
smart? He sure hasn't demonstrated any smarts since he moved to
Washington.
Clever? -- perhaps . . .
Smart? -- I haven't
seen any -- just street-hustle in an expensive suit . . .
Yup, Obama Is A Genius - - NOT!
Spitting and drooling on MSNBC's Hardball, Chris Matthews
said, "President Obama has his chin out on just about every
hot issue out there.... He’s exposed and vulnerable.
His poll numbers are dropping. Is he just too darned
intellectual? Too much the egg head?"
Tingles
notwithstanding, where do you suppose Matthews got that notion?
It can't be because of Obama's lofty scholastic
achievements. Not only has he adamantly refused to release
his transcripts, he's spent upwards of $2 million, employing
every legal trick in the book to
hide them.
It can't be because of Obama's scholarly
papers. In the 13 years that Obama was on the staff of the
University of Chicago, he
never produced a single scholarly paper.
It can't be
because of his mythology, "Dreams..." It's been
demonstrated, that after failing to produce a manuscript for
5 years, even with his
mother's help, Bill Ayers finally completed what the New
York Times
described as "...the most evocative, lyrical and candid
autobiography written by a future president."
It can't be
because of his eloquence. Obama is
verbally helpless without the ever-present TOTUS.
It
can't be because of his knowledge of American history. In
this video,
Obama references the founding documents as, "principles put to
paper more than 20 centuries ago" -- hey, genius, the country is
only 233 years old.
It can't be because of his knowledge
of geography. In
this video,
Obama says, "I've been to 57 States, with one left to go."
So where do you think that Chrissy got the idea that Obama
is an intellectual? It wouldn't be that (D) that follows
his name, would it?
I think the two of them are dumber
than dirt.
Ees No My job Man!
Politico
is reporting that after reading his prepared remarks on the economy
at a window manufacturer on Friday, Obama sought to take some photos
with workers when a pool reporter caught up with him and asked him to
explain the connection between the drop in the unemployment rate and the
lower-than-expected number of jobs added in December.
Obama's
response, according to the pool:
"You know, you've got to talk to Austan
Goolsbee. That's his job."
Obama then posed for some photos.
Stop It Already
-- He's Not So Smart
Dov Fischer says As part of the mainstream media's
ongoing effort to sway and distort American thinking, liberal "analysts"
for decades continually have conveyed the impression that ideological
liberals are just-plain-smarter than mortal humans while conservatives
-- even the good ones like the RINOs -- just are not all that smart, and
in fact are stupid. Thus, Ronald Reagan was a moron, an actor who shared
a bed with a monkey in "Bedtime for Bonzo." George H.W. Bush, despite
having achieved extraordinary results during Operation Desert Storm, was
no intellectual match for the Clintonites who derisively mocked: "It's
the economy, stupid."
You could not call Richard Nixon "stupid,"
so he instead was "tricky." (By contrast, the mainstream media did not
label Bill Clinton as "tricky" even when he tried evading questions
based on "what is, is.") The media depicted President Gerald Ford, a
graduate of the University of Michigan and a star athlete, as a bumbling
oaf. George W. Bush was another dope -- he could not even pronounce
"nuclear" the way they do on the East Coast.
By contrast, John F.
Kennedy was a Harvard scholar, surrounded by the "best and the
brightest." Jimmy Carter was the hardest working of presidents, whose
brilliance enabled him to grasp every detail of governance. Bill
Clinton, a Yale Law School graduate, also had been a Rhodes Scholar,
again one of our most brilliant presidents, albeit disbarred ultimately
from practicing law before the Supreme Court. And Barack Obama -- well,
a graduate of Columbia University's undergraduate school, of Harvard Law
School, editor-in-chief ("president") of the Harvard Law Review, a
professor of constitutional law at University of Chicago Law School. A
genius, with brains to spare.
Even the losers get treated
according to the media script. Barry Goldwater was a crazy man, set on
launching a nuclear holocaust. Michael Dukakis and John Kerry, on the
other hand, were brilliant and brillianter. Al Gore was brilliantest.
Meanwhile, Bob Dole tripped off a stage, evoking the Gerald Ford myth.
And John McCain? Poor guy can't count the number of houses he owns,
while his pig-with-lipstick running mate cannot name a newspaper or a
Supreme Court case other than Roe v. Wade. As if, for example, Sarah
Palin, Governor of Alaska, governed the state with nothing to do but
watch the Real Housewives of MSNBC, never reading a newspaper, never
hearing of a Supreme Court case.
So it is time to say it: Stop it
already. We know that Barack Obama has unique gifts that elude many of
us. For example, he manifestly avoids holding banister rails when he
descends steps at airports because, unlike Republicans Gerald Ford and
Bob Dole, he never slips. We are very impressed, those of us who keep
our hands near the banister just in case. We know that he is
professorial, says "uh" when thinking, drinks beer with professors. We
are very impressed.
We would be more impressed if our
transparent president would allow us to see his transcript from Columbia
University and share with us how he managed to finance his education
there. Or if he would allow us to read his senior thesis. Or allow us to
see his transcript from Harvard Law School. Yes, we know he rose to be
the president of Law Review, but there is a question that nags on that
one, too:
I was Chief Articles Editor of UCLA Law Review and
later had the honor of clerking for the Hon. Danny Julian Boggs of the
United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, one of the
nation's most brilliant jurists, who later rose to become Chief Judge of
the Sixth Circuit. To be selected as Chief Articles Editor, I had to
research and write the Law Review Comment of a lifetime. In time, it was
published and deemed good enough that I was named law review chief
articles editor. In the years that followed, that Law Review Comment has
been cited by federal courts in at least seven published judicial
opinions, and in several other unpublished opinions. It has been cited
and quoted often in other people's legal scholarship.
And that is
"how it works." To be a law review editor-in-chief, a Chief Articles
Editor, a Chief Comments Editor of a law review, it is a sine qua non
that you publish something fabulous, a real scholarly piece of work.
Many dozens of America's finest law students do exactly that every year.
Those articles later become part of a vast searchable electronic library
of legal scholarship.
The thing is, I cannot find Barack Obama's
great piece of work, the scholarship one would presume he researched,
drafted, crafted, and honed, that earned him the presidency of the
Harvard Law Review. The name "Obama" is the kind of search term that
should do the job. But I cannot find any scholarship published by him
that reveals the exceptional brilliance that paved the way to his
achievement. So there is no published scholarship that refutes the
increasing sense so many of us share that we Americans elected a
President who maybe is not so smart as the media's campaign hype
suggested. Perhaps even a rube. Just as we have been chastened by the
Mississippi floods and the Midwestern tornadoes that challenge his power
as a "god" to declare the moment when "the rise of the oceans began to
slow and our planet began to heal."
Think back to his press
conference when, recklessly venturing beyond range of a teleprompter, he
described his campaign efforts through the 57 states. If Dan Quayle had
said that, people would have thrown potatoes at him. With Obama, though,
we are told it was a slip of the tongue. When he could not properly
pronounce the military term "corpsman," pronouncing it instead as one
would describe a cadaver, the late-night comics did not perceive humor.
When he recently bungled our Mideast policy in the face of the
"Arab Spring," where the international Arab street has been screaming
that their lives' real concern today is not Zionism but the tyranny,
repression, and corruption perpetrated by their dictators, his
supporters in the mainstream press praised his brilliant ideas
nonetheless. And when the professor soon thereafter had to sit through
the first intelligent lecture he had heard since he left school, Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's thoughtful exposition on Mideast
reality, Obama barely could move, planting and gluing his fist firmly in
his face, practically gripping the wood off his chair like Captain Kirk
during a Klingon attack.
I have long sensed that Prof. Obama
never got a fair deal from his critics, who kept asking how he could
have sat silently for twenty years through the hate-filled anti-American
sermons of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. I always have assumed the true
answer is: he did not realize because he almost-never attended church.
Of course no politician can say that to American voters, so Obama was
caught in a quandary, ultimately throwing the reverend under the bus,
then his grandmother as a racist.
Few of us have publicly
lambasted our closest relatives, particularly those who reared us, just
to win friends or to make a point. Perhaps we would do so if only we
were smarter. Uh...
