When did this become a political forum? What's the point of posting a run of the mill WSJ article that tells us what we already know and takes a few shots at Obama, citing things the economic right are afraid of (some true and welcome by the center and left, others less desirable and stated with no real evidence)? In what way is this a breath of fresh air? It's a page filler, a tempered yet intellectually dishonest article that could have been written by anyone with a semester of high school journalism.

November One, requesting priority incendiary packet north of this position.
![]() If you think the 'stimulus' is anything more than an unprecedented transfer of wealth from the politically unconnected to the politically connected, as a reward for the election, heaven help you. Running up the national credit card is fine to pay the bills, and while your at it spend even more money, because hey we are already in debt anyway? What kind of leadership is that? BAD. Oh, well Bush did it too, but I thought Mr.Teleprompter Jesus was supposed to be better then Boooosh, and now he is following the same stupid spending sprees on a much grander scale. Gee that ought to work really well. And finally I love how conservative right wingers (paranoid WASPS) call Obama a terrorist when I beleive pres Bush decided to continue reading a story to kindergardeners on 9/11 when terroirists were attacking us. Allowing them to continue to attack us. First off, you RAAAAAAAAAAAAACIST! Secondly, Obama wasn't called a terrorist, he was called on his associations with domestic terrorists. Having someone with the same intent, only with poorer skills in explosives, as Timothy McVeigh close to you usually indicates a character issue. Thirdly, The Moore talking point is very stale. When Bush was told about the WTC in front of the children, it wasn't known to be a deliberate terrorist act. Once it was, action was taken, but it was already too late. Everything about that is very detailed and embarrassing to the government in the 9/11 Comission report. |

Obama is the second least-popular president in the past forty years after 100 days according to Gallup.
He is also divisive and highly partisan. And truly, honestly, just not that bright. It's time people focused on that. He can't answer questions without mumbling and stuttering. He can't speak off the cuff at all. There's no there there. The problem is you can't call him dumb, or inevitably you are called a racist. His brand has been honed to be "smart" and that's the story we're told. But I think he's dumb. He refuses to release his academic records for a reason. At least we knew that Bush was a B/C student (better grades than John Kerry) with a strong SAT score of 1206. We don't anything about Obama's intellect other than he reads a speech nicely and has charisma before the cameras. Here's what I think - Bush would mumble through his speeches and was uncomfortable with prepared remarks, always butchering them - but he was sharper on his toes and generally better in press conferences. Obama is the exact opposite. In fact, he is so bad in off-the-cuff remarks and speaking his mind freely that he has taken the extraordinary steps of pre-vetting questions at his "press conferences", calling on pre-approved reporters, and inviting coat-hanger bloggers to these stage shows. So how about a debate on whether or not the new president is a smart guy or a dumb guy? I don't care about his ability to speak in front of cameras, I know a ton of on-air personality locally that can barely tie their own shoes when the cameras go off. |

I agree with ablarc, the thread is nonsense, but I thought I'd toss a few bombs in the mess for fun! Anonymous Internet chats about politics are rarely intellectual or fact-driven exercises, no different here.
And, because I simply cannot resist... Obama is not smarter than you, me or most people. His intellect is quite average, I am sure. If anyone has proof otherwise, please present it. |
