Never Been A Bigger Idiot President

[houndawg]

You do know the NSA is watching, right?

I hope they are and they bring it, Im sick of these motherfu*kers if they feel froggy jump. I would fully expect that PUSSY OBAMA to send others to deal with his sh*t because he isnt a man.

Fu*k that POS

[houndawg]

He is NOT intelligent!!

W would put it all over him in an intellectual battle, it would be worse than the beating DBack takes from AZ, Cluck and 93.

Kicking a quadriplegic in the face is more humane than what Bush would do to that spineless sh*tbag in a battle of brains.

I don't buy into the whole "this President is dumber than that President" conversation. I can't point to a single President in our history who I would consider to be unintelligent.

I would point to weaknesses like indecisiveness, flawed ideologies, lack of moral character, poor management abilities and poor judgment as the chief issues with many Presidents rather than a lack of intelligence.

Some of the smartest men to sit in the Oval Office have been relative unknowns, like Garfield, Bush I, and Coolidge. At the end of the day, intelligence has never been an issue for the guy who occupies the seat.

I will say this though- there were two Presidents in our history who did not appear very intelligent on the surface. They had folksy (some would say backwoods) demeanors which their opponents characterized as being dim or not very intelligent. They were Lincoln and GW Bush. I think they weren't our smartest Presidents, but they both had a very shrewd managerial style.

I don't think Ronnie was the sharpest tool in the shed either....but he had a leadership quality that few possessed.

Obama isnt that smart, hes not a leader, hes a coward, he isnt from America so why would he want it to be America. He is nothing more than a handpuppet to some rich democrat white guy.

Everyone knows this, its how he got elected.

[blueballs]

Obama is a community activist who, with the help of a compliant media, managed to con a majority of the electorate into electing him president twice.

He is not a leader, he is an activist. However, he has presided over a fundamental change in our government and lives. The ACA and Dodd Frank are radical changes to two of the biggest pillars of the economy. The stimulus and QE has been a massive transfer of wealth that was unprecedented. He will be remembered for legislative achievement, damaging as it certainly is, as much as being the first black to hold the office. He will also be remembered for the damage he is doing to our nation long term. History won't be kind to him.

I think you're probably right on the last Statement. I doubt we've had any President that wasn't/isn't of above average intelligence.

But we do have one comparison we can make because we have publicly known IQ scores. And I think it's a comparison that kind of shows how you can't really tell who is smarter than who by how they come off on television and/or how successful their Presidency was.

It's John Kennedy vs. Richard Nixon. We have a John Kennedy IQ score of 119 and a Richard Nixon score IQ score of 143. But I don't think that there's any doubt that Kennedy came off as more articulate on television. I suspect that when the two ran against each other if you'd have done a scientific poll the majority would've thought Kennedy was more intelligent. But the opposite was the case.

Obviously Kennedy still wasn't stupid. An IQ of 119 puts him at about the 90th percentile. A one in 10 guy. But an IQ of 143 put Nixon at about the 99.8th percentile. A one in 480 guy. Truly among the intellectual elite. But I'd say Kennedy not only came off better but had the more successful Presidency in spite of its brevity. And he wasn't "stupid" enough to get himself into the kind of trouble Nixon got himself into (when it was totally unecessary).

You said it right there: managerial style. If you listen to interviews with Rahm or others that have left the administration, a recurring criticism on Obama is that 1) he is arrogant and 2) he can't manage people. He's never had to manage people, let alone teams and teams and teams of people. I recall this one interview where Rahm stated that Obama asked for peoples thoughts on something. Some of the smartest people in the country were there. After hearing everyone, and just nodding his head the entire time, Obama took nobodys advice and did things his way. That was (is) quite common with him.

Obama isnt even a man, hes needs to be dealt with.


There isnt a person on the planet that I respect less.

Haters gonna hate. Necrophilia is a victimless crime as long as you wash and dress the body in respectable fashion before the family sees it. Shit man, it's ingenious. You can put the bitch in whatever clothes and makeup you like best, bend 'em in every imaginable position, throw a few punches with no fear of bruising, etc.

And best of all, no fucking back talking, pregnancies, or financial obligations.

Yeah, he got me the fist time...
I do admit I was optimistically encouraged (way back then) and now it's just embarrassing
The Second time around: I was forced to vote for Jill Stein just to piss off some of my friends

It's become a trend watching presidents do things like have insurance companies write our Health Care laws or appoint Exxon Mobil VP's to run the EPA / Wall Street smugglers and Financial swindlers now have permanent residence set-up in the oval office...

We're kinda doomed actually...

Well, when you put it like that I feel like an assh*le.

I will take them off my list.

You honestly think no president ever has been worse? If so either you know nothing about history or you are being irrational about Obama.

I don't think he is great by any stretch but the worst ever? No way.

At least part of your statement is an argument for smaller, more streamlined government.

100 years ago it didn't take an insurance company CEO to understand insurance laws and regulations. It didn't take a Wall Street guru to understand finance, investment, and macroeconomics, and it sure as hell didn't take an IRS insider to understand our tax code.

Presidents are beholden to these people today because they are the only ones who know dick about government, financial infrastructure, taxation, you name it.

BTW there one way to solve having oil barons at the EPA.... get rid of it.

You're almost there Cleetzang... one little nudge is all it will take and you'll be wearing a tricorner hat down at the next Tea Party rally.

You all just don't understand. He does what he does not out of stupidity but rather because of the chaos it will create. Not only do you not let a good crisis go to waste but it never hurts to create a crisis and then use it to your advantage.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

He does what he does because he isn't smart enough to figure out ANYTHING that would make this country prosper. He is a puppet. Smart people don't let people pull their strings.

You underestimate him at your own peril. He is getting exactly what he wants. Not what WE want but what HE wants.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

He isnt getting anything, he isnt smart enough. He is doing what he is told.

He cant even make a free throw for fu*ks sake. Hes inept in so many ways

The Affordable Care Act which does nothing but ruin the best health care system in the world. When that health care system has been brought completely to its' knees the people will demand an end to the chaos and the liberals will have their dream, a single payer system with our government as that payer.

A chaotic foreign policy which is quickly reducing USA influence in the world.

I could go on but if you don't see it I'm sorry that I lack the eloquence to explain it more clearly. Whether he is a puppet or not I can't say but he will be the instrument, whether on his own or in the hands of someone else, of our downfall. As I said, you underestimate him at your own peril.
