Am guessing he and the SDS crowd of leftist foundations and Universities funded by soros, sandlers, lewis and others have an agenda that is well prepared and funded and he is just the semi-charming front man who took advantage of race guilt, while not even sharing the life experience of African Americans, the were ripped off. <br /><br />The Center for American Communism is their shadow govt and who knows what deviousness they are developing, including the totally wasteful green collar jobs. <br /><br />I intend to fully enjoy the spring and summer because November will be a referendum on who America will be for the next 100 years. It seems the media, except for FOX, AM radio, and the Internet, is in the leftist, fascist, progressive bag. The USSR or whoever these terrorists are have done well and won without a shot, unless stopped in November after building on the Chicago New Party for years. I am not a genius and if it is obvious to me anyone can see it if not misdirected so we will see what happens next. Watching CNN is a challenge of reality they have lost all credibility. and I liked wolf and Anderson but adios.dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04781212901643269149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564636227360471936.post-68099040519922274942010-03-18T10:35:47.607-07:002010-03-18T10:35:47.607-07:00Dear Dr. John,

Being "smar...A few issues, from a non-genius:<br /><br />Being "smart" is different than being genius. As someone who has watched numerous Q&A's of his, my interpretation is that he is quick on his feet in answering questions, as would be expected. One recent example is his appearance at the GOP Leader's retreat.<br /><br />Moreover, Obama's own mental ability do not, and should not, figure into his administration's ability to strategize; one of the great tests for any leader is in expanding one's effectiveness through skillful utilization and hiring of staff.<br /><br />Going further, your choice to proceed from Obama's non-genius status to "not being very bright;" a status I would dispute. I would certainly welcome any evidence that he is below the 80% percentile for intelligence, a bar that probably works well for the word "bright," but I sincerely doubt that you will be able to produce it.<br /><br />Over-dependence on a teleprompter is not a sign of intelligence, except possibly for a more limited ability to memorize the speech text, and there are better things for a President to do. He has memorized speeches in the past.<br /><br />Indecisiveness is not a sign of mental incapacity; if anything, it reflects too great a willingness to lose oneself in hypotheticals and a lack of decisiveness, but these are not signs of genius.<br /><br />I will certainly cop to your statements about poor decisions on travel; we can probably add Biden's visit to that mix.<br /><br />I certainly take strong exception that Obama's choice to not go for tenure track is evidence of an intellectual deficiency - that's like saying that people who drop out of college (like Bill Gates) did so because they couldn't make it through their classwork. Show me some evidence, please.<br /><br />The rest of your post combines fact with fancy, such as the Ayers conspiracy theory.<br /><br />If we should debate policy, let that be so: there are a number of areas where I think Obama fails. But to suggest mental incapacity is to go a step further: the office of President requires high intelligence, and naming Obama as unqualified certainly does not change the fact that his opponent's choice for VP was much more problematic, Gov. Palin had positive attributes that were never acknowledged.Will Slackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10855599768768731355noreply@blogger.com
