Most presidents are smart to have gotten so far.........

He is a very smart man. A pi$$ poor president but a smart man. 

Colleen

He fooled the people into voting him into office when he had no credible background. Now that right there is smart.

He thinks he is............lol

Intelligent yes, but smart, no. Reagan inherited a mess from Jimmy Carter and turned this country around in 18 month. Obama is in his 36Th month and still no end in sight. Obama as a community organizer trained Acorn, who sued citybank for not loaning money  to poor people to buy houses. After 2 yrs., the banks conceded and and ended up in collapsing our housing market.

It takes a smart man to ~win~ the presidency, a salesman.. His intellect and talents are in speaking, his charisma, his ability to convince those that want to be convinced, he's a marketing genius., He knows enough about government to be dangerous.  Where many on my side condemn him, I only condemn his policies, he's a good man but he's not a president, he is presidential though, this is 'half' the battle and that battle he has won.  It is unfortunate in MHO that he is moving America in a direction that resembles every fallen government beginning with the Romans and their socialist agendas. We in america have for over 200 years been the desired country to be, this is why we have grown to over 300 million people, take 12 million illegals. There is a reason why people for 2 centuries came here, it was that 'American dream', he (Obama) is placing us in history, not the future.. His 'progressive' movement is not progressive at all, we were already progressing, our history proves this, we are now reverting to big government where the elite says what to eat, drive, go, work and how to raise our children, without a voice of our own how can we succeed in fulfilling that American dream?   Of course, of the 300 million, there are some that just can't make it, there are some that don't want to make it, there are some that truly believe that the american dream is socialism and free handouts.. This is their american dream and because these people are so vocal, they are going to get their way. They have the time to complain and pout (protest) we workers do not have a voice, we are too busy trying to fulfill our own American dream just as our forefathers did through hard work.. The key to success, is work, ambition and determination-- if you have these qualities, you can see right through Obama's charismatic speeches-- He is appealing to the weak and the socialist educated that wants to be noted on that level, to these people, bowing to the Obama worship is the 'cool' thing, a statement that they are same, and in many a guilt trip because they have been made to feel guilty for making success.  'Bleeding hearts'..  Obama is a dictator..  Not a president.. an arrogant one at that.

Are you in contact with ETs?

Was this large group of people dressed in animal skins, holding clubs, and standing around a big fire with a look of amazement on their faces? Maybe looked like the guys in the Geico commercials perhaps? lol...

He may be smart but intelligence with out common sense is like a rudderless ship .

You heard wrong.  They were commenting on the "genies" (garage door opener) the Obamas have installed at the White House

Awwww me thinks you are hanging around with the wrong crowd if they are spouting that.

Well, I have this to say in his defense. When he came into office, the economy was in such a state, that it was like being handed a bucket of shit, and then being expected to make something beautiful out of it overnight! It just isn't going to happen overnight! But, give me that bucket of shit, some flower seeds, and in time I will turn it into something beautiful.

I was never a fan of him bailing out the banks or auto makers. But, in retrospect, I think I'm glad he did. Who knows where we'd be if those giants started collapsing?! That would have scared off almost all the investors and our economy would have shrivelled up and died completely.

No president ever makes decisions on their own. That's why they create cabinets and bring on advisors, i.e.; they bring on intelligent people who are in the know on specific issues. It's all too easy to forget the good things a person has done. But, how many families would have absolutely nothing, if that man didn't stick up for the unemployed?! It's all just too easy for someone who has everything and everything going for them, to criticize the unemployed. But, in reality, those unemployed are the very same people who worked hard all their lives, bought homes, built lives for their families. Yet, when they lose their jobs that they've been with for years...they are literally thrown into the streets! I can't really say anything bad about someone who has tried to help these people.

No one has all the right answers, nor will they ever please everybody...but, at least this guy stood up and tried.  

The only genial accomplishement I would credit him with is fooling enough voters to get him elected President of these (not as much as they should) United States of America.

What were you doing at the democrat convention ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I am just here with a little love.

define genius.  LOL 

He is intelligent, but I would hardly call him smart. The truth about any president (usually) is that they have to have some intellect to do the job and getting there is really all politics. Politics is so corrupt that all you have to do is know and pay the right people and groups and you just may go somewhere in the political arena.

He may be intelligent, but he hasn't made very many good decisions, that will be his legacy. It's not what you say, but it's your actions that make you poor or great. I wish that he was a better president, instead of a good public speaker.

Far from being a genius but at least is (so far) Mr. Obama a better president than Mr. Jimmy Carter was? In either case, why?

He could be.

Genius, no. Conman yes. I wonder how many people in this country know who the vice President is, or the branches of government, how many states there are, who are the candidates? We have a lot of brain dead people in the US. They respond to sound bites only, Continue being irresponsible, because the respossible will continue to feed you.

I am going to 'double post this'..

When you have a 'leader' that stands in front of a microphone and a teleprompter and says 'Me' and "I" over 40 times in a 10 minute speech, and he states that he 'has a pen and a phone' not to mention walking on the constitution at will.  This is a dictator, the only difference in him and a visible dictator is that he does these things illegally.  He has now succeeded in pushing America back 100 years. he has taken from the working class and give to the non working class, he has 'invited' more and more illegals through our borders, the left calls them refugees, we on the right call them votes.  His ultimate goal is a one party system, total control over the people, removing the voice of the people and making us all dependent on the g'ment.He could care less about his healtcare plan, its control over the people he is working for.  100%.  He panders to the un-educated, he awards them with free stuff and entitlements in exchange for loyalty to the party.  Your money, my money to support an idealistic g'ment where it's one for all and all for one.  Sound familiar??  This is where he and the liberal democrats are leading us.  They work with fear as their hook, the democrat liberal party is the party of doom and gloom, they find fault with everything.  They instill fear and tell you the only way to overcome this fear is to vote. If you liberal democrats can not see what is going on then you are blind, but then, this is what you want, if so, you will be in the soup lines too and wondering what happened.  You better look around you, if you LOVE America then stand up for it as our predecessors stood up for us when they built this unique free country of thinkers.    Of course, since everyone is allowed to think, there will be some that disagree, this is America.  The America where we mst all be told what to say, think, eat, drive, vote and what religion we must adhere.  WAKE UP!!!

i am not old enough for this stuff about wat aldults think but just guessing to think i think he is trying his best to help us and to me if we arent taken over by another country yet he,s a genius !!! :)

Colleen

Where exactly do you see him trying his best to help the people?

Get this guy without a tele-prompter and  he's a stammering, slow thinking, bumbling, loud talking I really  don't have any idea how to answer your question intelligently kind of Chicago refugee.

Yeah, this is a great question. Try getting a serious response from those people that don't agree with his political philosophy, none of which has a direct corelation with his IQ.
