So Obama attended three universities, all of them academically rigorous. I think I'm going to take the guy who was the President of the Harvard Law Review over North Idaho College.
I agree with Geofra about her media savvy, but I don't see a person of great intellect. People have different skills and talents, and Palin has a tremendous ability to read people, but she does't strike me as particularly educated. Frankly, someone who confuses whether our ally is North or South Korea frightens me.
Moreso than someone that thinks we have 57 states?
I wouldn't be suprised if Obama is more intelligent than Palin. The problem is that with his narcicism, he still thinks he is far smarter than he actually is. He displays an arrogance towards ideas that don't fit his preconceived ideas, and seems unwilling to learn. Even intelligent people can be frequently be wrong.

Come on guys!!! You can do better than that! Show me the actual basis for your opinion that Obama is intelligent. He was selected to the Harvard Law Review because of his color, was admitted to Harvard because of his color and some influential people pushing his wagon for him,...but he wrote NOTHING at Harvard,.....NOTHING at Columbia,....and NOTHING at Occidental showing he is intelligent.
The links bring up some interesting observations that you on the left CHOOSE to ignore. How about addressing Obama's lack of intelligence based upon his reliance on teleprompters, and shooting himself in the foot when he goes off script.
It's quite apparent that America has been sold a bill of goods by the media, but the left is not willing to be unbiased.
If you look up "closet racist" in the dictionary, it says "see: sol11"
Intelligence is no guarantee of competence. Some of the smartest people in the world are broke, in jail, or have been the cause of misfortune for themselves and others.
I am not saying that Palin is qualified to be President. I am rather suggesting that Obama's verbal cleverness has not thus far translated itself into the ability to govern effectively.
You must be smoking the magic shroooms if you think that Palin is more intelligent than Obama. Many of the professionals that I work with and am acquainted with concur that while Obama's policies may leave much to be desired (for some), he is nonetheless an intelligent man. So what he didn't write anything while at Harvard? I know a former Harvard grad who wrote nothing as well...who cares? Palin is reviled by many Republicans and viewed as not particularly intelligent. Hell, just read Rollins's article on CNN about her. Obama might write crappy poetry in your opinion, but I doubt you'd hear him utter half the face-palm worthy nonsense that spews out of Palin's mouth.
Also, get with the program. A Black man being successful - making it to Harvard, etc. - due to color is so 1980s. There are many more just like Obama who attend Ivy League universities. My firm hires them.
Apparently the joke is on the left-leaning liberals, for they have nothing but OPINIONS upon which to base their claims that Obama is smarter than Palin.
Of course, if you have some documentation to support the intelligence of your "joke" of a president, feel free to do so.
Obama graduated from Harvard in the top 20% of his class.
Maybe she's smarter than Obama, but she's is still a retarded muppet. I saw the interviews that she gave when she was running for VP, where every question such as "are you in any way shape or form educated about any basic Constitutional or international issues?" was a Gotcha Question... so stupid. So pathetic. I would expect more from any candidate of any party.
Other politicians may be far from top IQ material, but it was clear from those interviews that she really has sh*t for brains.
