He's not an intellectual by any stretch. Or to put it this way, he's about as much an intellectual as Duhbya or Donald Trump or Hillary or Dan Quayle. Obama's not stupid and he's not a genius, he's just not a deep thinker. He's got some charm and knows how to act to a degree, not on Bill Clinton's level but enough to get by.

He was even caught lip syncing a speech.
He's one of the few political who has an intellectual repertoire. I can't think of any others aside from maybe Newt Gingrich.
Amazing what the media propaganda machine can accomplish when motivated.
So anyone who speaks in nebulous and interpretive terms to thwart clarity of position is an intellectual because no one knows what he is saying?
To assign obama a label of intellectual is to condemn him given he sat on his hands as christians were beheaded and crucified and no action was taken. He witnessed mass murder and was able to justify taking no action. He intellectualized a beheading of a US citizen so he could get back on the golf course 5 minutes later. This means Obama thought about these atrocities and drew an invisible red line in the sand. Essentially he declared you may kill thousands of people, just don't do it with chemical weapons or else I do nothing. Yep, you'd have to be an intellectual to rationalize that.
His claim that isis is the jv team and the world is a more tranquil place, are further proof obama is an intellectual.
the prisons are filled with criminals with high IQs....... Intelligence Quotion
'Intellectual' is a meaningless term without considering other qualifiers.
Don't know how anyone can argue Obama is stupidier than what the GOP has offered us the past 25 years. Give me liberal intellectualism over knee-jerk conservatism anyday.
He sold and defended Obamacare with lies not intellectual discourse.
-He lied about how his mother died to score political points for Obamacare.
-He lied about keeping doctors.
-He lied about keeping your plan.
-He lied about saving $2,500.
-He skirted around the fact that 31 Million non-elderly people will still be uninsured with Obamacare.
-He said it wasn't a tax and then had his administration argue it was a tax in front of the Supreme Court.
-He said he opposed penalties in 2008, then supported them after getting elected in 2009.
How did Obama win an intellectual argument with Obamacare...lies. Where is the intellectual side? Anyone can spout off lies like Obama. Unless we are defining "intellectual" as the ability to fool with lies, I see no significant intellectual tendencies.
Look, when Fast and Furious came out, what did Obama do? Did he offer an intellectual argument? No. He blamed it on Bush, which was a lie. Then he used executive privilege to shut down investigations into it after Holder got caught lying about it. Wow, it is so deeply intellectual to lie and point fingers at other easy targets than take accountability and defend your own actions.
Syria, he drew a red line and then when crossed, he lied and said the world drew it not him. So intellectual. What a great intellectual argument, lie and twist. When Obama tried to make the argument of attacking Syria he lied about the evidence, wow what a shocker.
This thread seemingly proves that Democrats are intellectual lightweights and partisan heavyweights, if these actions of Obama pass as worthy of some sort of "intellectual" moniker.
Somehow Behavioral Scientists are able to assess the intellectual capacity of children and babies far younger than college age. Are you saying you need Obama's college transcripts in order to decide if he is an intellectual or not?
Think about this. All the people voting "No" are basically saying that their party got beaten soundly by someone who is not a intellectual or chief.
He is a chief.... chief liar.
And you don't have to be a chief or an intellectual to win elections.
