Well, there has been a lot of talk about how Obama is "failing"...

But, as we know, he showed signs of tremendous genius from early on...perhaps we do just not get his vision. He is a chess player and the game he is playing is so far over or heads that we cannot see the full picture right now.

"Tremendous genius ????" How did you decide that?

He may have slightly above average intellectual capacity, but he has zero leadership skills. He is a boy trying to do a man's job.

And we do "get his vision." It's to continue to grow government power and size at the expense of American business and tax payers.

"In his biography of Obama, “The Bridge,†David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, quotes White House senior adviser and longtime Obama friend Valerie Jarrett: “I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. … He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability — the extraordinary, uncanny ability — to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually. … So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy. … He’s been bored to death his whole life. He’s just too talented to do what ordinary people do."

Speaking as someone who was/is a ranked chess player, I can safely say, he aint a genius

If he was so damn smart he would be able to explain his vision to us commoners.

Wait a minute, that is his problem, people understand his vision just fine.

A man who wants to share his wealth is admirable.
A man who wants to share YOUR wealth is despicable.
A man who wants to use government to force YOU to share your wealth is president.

I do not think he is a genius at all. His entire facade is a lie and it is slipping quickly.
