— Ace Snaps.
Democrats like to think of themselves as the party of smart people. And over the last four years we have heard countless encomiums, and not just from Democrats, of the intellect and perceptiveness of Barack Obama. But a reading of the text of Obama’s December 6 speech at Osawatomie, Kansas, billed as one of his big speeches of the year, shows him to be something like the opposite.Even by the standards of campaign rhetoric, this is a shockingly shoddy piece of work. You can start with his intellectually indefensible caricature of Republican philosophy: “We are better off when everybody is left to fend for themselves and play by their own rules.” Or his simple factual inaccuracy: “The wealthiest Americans are paying the lowest taxes in over half a century.” Or his infantile economic analysis, blaming job losses on the invention of the automated teller machine (they’ve been around for more than four decades, Mr. President, and we’ve had lots of job growth during that time) and the Internet.
...
What we have here, it seems a president who has no serious interest in public policy. He has spent nearly half his 15 years in public office running for other public office. The only difference now is that, having run out of higher offices to run for, he is just running for reelection instead. Those who pride themselves on belonging to the party of smart people should be embarrassed.
Is are president unteachable?
Sorry I was away so long there. I am just not finding stuff that I feel interested in posting.

From the 2008 election:
Mr McCain was booed when he tried to sooth the crowd, defending Mr Obama as ‘a decent person and a person you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States.’
Sparkling job McCain. You should be so proud that you lost to a SCOAMF. What does that make you? And now suppossedly the GOP candidates are all trying to get a McCain endorsement...why?

Well, he MUST be brilliant because he smokescreened the world into giving him the most important job in the entire fcuking world. I guess that makes the rest of us stupid because we weren't able to do it.
Posted by: © Sponge at December 09, 2011 12:32 PM (UK9cE)
Well, there is a fundamental question underlying this one.
If you presume that Obama wants to preside over a stronger and more prosperous America, is actions indicate at best willful ignorance. He repeats the same easily predicted mistakes over and over again.
But if you don't assume that his goal is the one he nominally claims to, suddenly his actions become clearer. He weakens America, because he wants a weaker America. He divides America because he wants a divided America. He empowers a new nobility to rule with the mere trappings of representative government because he wants to fundamentally remake America in this way.
Judge the man by his actions, not his words.

I disagree. I think what the man has done the last year is play a pivotal role in the most sublime war of 'occupation' in history. He's already won - he and his people have 'moved in.' The only part left to finish is the part where he throws the American's out. And I mean 'throws out' euphemistically. It's coming.
So America, are you going to do something, or are you going to just stand there and bleed?

Then why the secrecy if he got affirmative-action As and Bs?
My guess has always been that he got a bunch of Is - incomplete. And probably actually did not earn enough credits to graduate Columbia, begging the question of how he was accepted at Harvard Law. I think he spent his time at Columbia protesting, smoking weed, and generally being a Black Students Association leftist asshole. There haven't been any roommates or classmates emerge to talk about him because he was never in class. Columbia loves people like this and never expels them even if they don't go to class. It is the American beachhead of the international Marxist movement.

Oh and who DIDNT know the president was an idiot? Even my idiot lib friend who voted for him sadly admits it, and adds "crazy" and "puppet" when he says it depending on his mood. This Nov 6th speech just sort of seals it. Hes delusional as well as crazy dumb.

The transcripts are going to show two things -- he avoided all serious challenges, and he is really lazy. The biggest message will be in what is missing -- the transcripts will have class after class in advancing stages of bullshit -- every single class will be about opinions.
There will not be a serious math or science class of any kind. No chem, no physics, no algebra, no trig, no astronomy, no accounting, no biology, no geology, no ...... There will absolutely not be any evidence at all that he can apply, or understand, logic. It will all be just bullshit in, bullshit out.
It isn't just about grades.

Polite golf claps for Obama and Biden at the Army-Navy game.
Todays game is in honor of the late great Ronaldus Magnus' birth centenniel, and the commemorative coin Obama flipped had Reagan on the Heads side.
Fwiw, Obama exuded a very relaxed smiling chatty manner while meeting the players at midfield and flipping the coin. Any American President who cant conjure up a daylong 100-watt smile for the Army-Navy game should resign in shame.
