"This ongoing revelation of his previously undiscovered incompetence is the result of his reaching the highest office we have to offer him before testing him in an executive position or other leadership position. He had previously spent his time voting present so as to not reveal his true nature and always running for the next higher office. His unprecedented rapid rise to power had allowed him to escape scrutiny.
We cannot say Sarah Palin has escaped scrutiny. In fact, she has been scrutinized in a way that none of us have witness before, yet she is still standing and still relevant. The problem for the liberal elitist is that the office of president doesn't require a huge intellect."
LMAO!
You're not familiar with the meaning of context, are you?
Some folks here love to just toss off these supposedly smug answers...look, what the man said was 'SHE AIN'T READY!'...
I get so g-d sick of every time someone says something the so-called 'right wing' doesn't like, they fall back on the smug one-liners, or their usual name-calling...the fact of the matter is, an election was held in 2008...the GOP candidates lost, therefore, their party is not in power at the moment---FACT, plain and simple...
And some here get their various diapers and sexual organs in a twist and start sputtering (y-y-y-you you LIBERAL!!) when they realize that their hineys aren't being properly kissed, and we aren't buying into their notion of them wrapping themselves in the flag, calling everyone else commies, and libs, and socialists, and waiting for 2012 when, TA-RA! TA-RA! TA-RA! they're gonna ride up Pennsylvania Avenue and save us poor beknighted 'libs*' from ourselves, trumpets blaring, astride a brace of magnificent white stallions, and by-golly take this country BACK!! What utter, unbelievable, hot smelly bull by-products...
*= "Libs' being the blanket popular name thrown at or toward anyone who dares not to acknowledge their supposed supperiority, or to have an opinion that has the audacity to be counter to theirs...bank on it
The very first post in this thread includes name-calling.
Don't know, don't care. That he graduated from Columbia, earned a doctorate from Harvard and was president of the Harvard Law Review speaks to his intelligence. You don't become president of the Review by flunking courses.

Are you still under the impression that BO has a huge intellect?
Huge? I still affirm that President Obama is an intelligent man.
As for Sarah Palin, she has not been tested to any real degree in an executive or leadership position. She was a mayor in a town that had a city director that performed the majority of executive tasks. Then she went on to become a governor and enjoyed a brief honeymoon period in that executive position before becoming the nominee for VP of the United States. Her unprecedented rapid rise to power had allowed her to escape scrutiny.
And what's she done, since? She resigned her executive position. She has no real record of where she would stand on legislative issues because she's never been in a legislative position. She spends her days attacking the President on Facebook and Twitter and behind closed doors giving speeches where reporters are prohibited. What does she stand for? Who really knows, since she's offered no coherent discussion of her positions. What does she stand for? Throwing rocks at the President and his policies. When she actually crafts an argument of what she supports rather than an argument of what she doesn't support, I'll be willing to listen, with an open mind. But so far, crickets.
Do you really think Harvard admissions gives those kind of breaks to an unqualified black candidate, when they have numerous outstanding candidates of every color, religion, ethnicity, etc, to choose from? Harvard Law school competes for the BEST students, not the mediocre. Your last sentence is racist.
You are familiar with AA aren't you?
Affirmative Action whether it is officially sanctioned or done with a nod and a wink promotes blacks over whites based on their race.
My brother is intelligent as anyone, but I sure wouldnt consider him presidential material. He lacks common sense and runs literally hours away from being homeless..
It takes far more than intelligence to be presidential material..
Then did Yale say Bush was intelligent? After all, he did graduate.
