Does Obama have intellectual tendencies? (Clinton, party, teleprompter, voted)

[knowledgeiskey]

He's one of the few political who has an intellectual repertoire. I can't think of any others aside from maybe Newt Gingrich.

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.

Or they are suckers that voted for the narcicest and realized their folly.

Obama is clearly an intellectual, and that is a point in his favor for me. But lots of people are intellectuals. That quality alone doesn't make anyone a good President or even a good person. Jerimiah Wright is also an intellectual.

I was pretty amazed when I saw his college transcripts... Oh, wait.

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?

"intellectual" isn't the word I had in mind.

Ever heard the "Intellectual" away from the teleprompter?

No, he's saying that they are hidden for a reason!

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.
