OK Klein, you say 0bama is intelligent. Prove it. All we have to go on are his words, his actions, and the media's say so. His unscripted words and actions don't show much intelligence, and as for the media, well we don't think they are particularly intelligent in the first place, so how would they know?

Andrea Mitchell is both.

How's that Time magazine circulation doing these days Joey?

Of course he is intelligent. But intelligent is a relative term. Intelligent compared to what?
A rock? Yes
A golden retriever? Yes
A Harvard grad? Maybe, because of diversity/AA admissions.
A white male Harvard grad? No
Mitt Romney? Absolutely not.

The mind works in two ways, like computer hardware and computer software.

Hardware/intelligence. Yes, Zippy has some intelligence, some capacity for cogitation.

Software/ideology. But, Zippy has ideology that leads to poverty and slavery to a political state. (he is far left)

There is indeed scant objective evidence of Obama's alleged high intelligence. This is perhaps his fault: he refuses to release standard indicators of intelligence such as grades and standardized test scores. There is compelling reason to believe that he did not write Dreams From My Father after Jack Cashill's scholarly deconstruction of the work points to William J. Ayers as the author. We have no solid achievements or examples of excellence from which to infer remarkable intellectual ability in Obama. If one stands back and parses the data carefully, there are only three things to suggest that Obama is unusually intelligent: (1) he SOUNDS intelligent when he talks; (2) he attended Ivy League schools; (3) people like Joe Klein and others swear he is intelligent.

But SOUNDING intelligent is not the same as BEING intelligent. We all know why Obama was able to attend and graduate from Ivy League schools, and his refusal to release standard performance indicators strongly suggests they were nothing to boast about. As for people like Joe Klein and others - their passionate ideology obliges them to attribute positive qualities to Obama that exist only in their own minds.

OK, I'll give you that 0bama is intelligent, but there are lots of intelligent losers without a bit of common sense out there.

Clearly Obama possesses above average intelligence. But no way is he what researchers in the field describe as "very bright." By contrast, Romney is. My estimate is that Romney has at least 30 IQ points on the Won.

Intelligent does not equate to being capable. So call him intelligent if you wish, he still can't do the job.

More race baiting at Hate T.V.

I have gone from a vast right wing conspirator to a right wing thug and now I'm crazy and or bigoted.

All they have is personal slander at everyone who disagrees with them.

We need a tsunami next month. A simple wave might be overcome with fraud.

Donaldson chimed in. "Call me the worst name you can think of".

OK, Barack Obama.
Thats the worst name I can think of.

Remember these morons nodded in agreement when Harvard's Michael Beschloss called Obama the most intelligent president ever.
And let's face it, Bammy is way smarter than Jefferson, or Lincoln, or Wilson, or Roosevelt (Teddy), or Washington, Madison, Adams and such... Harvard should be ashamed.

It's OK to call Romney a "felon" and a "liar" but not OK to question 0's intelligence?

Depends on what 'lazy' means. If it means that someone is just a layabout who avoids having to expend energy, then Sununu is clearly in error. Obama expends large quantities of energy delivering speeches, attending fundraisers, traveling about on AF1, hitting the links, taking vacations and shooting hoops.

If Sununu's definition of lazy is that Obama avoids going to the office everyday and attending to the necessary duties that comprise the work and service of the PotUS - then yes, he certainly has a point.

The point is that people generally conflate the terms 'lazy' and 'layabout'. This clouds Sununu's point and gives the MSM a fingerhold of criticism. He might be better off giving Obama a new title, "MIA Presidente".

Well, maybe he's smart in comparison to you, Joe. All available evidence points to Obama being smart enough to sling a line of BS that suckers a few gulls. On the basis of what I've observed, I'd give Obama an IQ in the 105-118 range (which would have put him in the bottom quintile of my high school class). Any higher number would require one to believe the hype. Joe Klein probably rings the bell at around 90, which is, to put it politely, ot-nay oo-tay ight-bray.

from Joe K's perspective, most anybody who could fog a mirror would be pretty smart.

Arrogant, Dismissive, Crooked, Communist, Deceptive, Deceitful Yes, but not very intelligent.

Intelligent people recognize failure and don't repeat it...so there you go!

Let's compare GPA's of Romney and 0-oh wait...

Or observant, Joe.

Obama is, as someone once told me, an example of someone educated beyond his intelligence.

I take off one IQ point for every million people killed by someone's political philosophy. Many socialists end up with negative IQs, and this severely messes up my subsequent entropy calculations.

Obama has already publicly called himself lazy -- it's on the record, and straight from the horse's ... uh ... mouth.

"When you're not that bright, you can't get better prepared."

Gotta love Sununu..

Agree orig. poster, the narrative of Obama's intelligence is getting old and boring. He showed us exactly just how empty his suit is along with his head. No teleprompter with somebody telling him what to say, he is lost, vacuous and as said, empty.

Can anyone make a criticism of him without being racist. That is what urinated me off so bad about the last election.
Obama-black
McCain-veteran
Palin-woman

You coulnd't criticize any of them without someone playing each respective card.

Zero intelligent? NO!!
1. Needs teleprompter to talk to pre-schooler
2. Said there were 57 states
3. Did not know what capital gains were
4. Could not pronounce "corpseman" correctly
5. Cannot write sentences in which subject and verb agree in singular or plural.

Now tell me he is intelligent!!!

At my company, Obama would be out on the left tail of the bell curve.

Is Joe Klein intelligent? How about Karl Marx?

In my understanding, there are different types of "intelligence". One of them is "vision". Being able to see the forest for the trees. Relevant to intelligence are integrity and loyalty to one's country.

I don't question NerØbama's basic "intelligence". I do, however, question the intelligence of many of his supporters - like those who believe in "Obama-money" and "Obama-phones".

He's average. Average in every way. Relentlessly, painfully common.

Someone with high intelligence does not rely on using words like ''stuff'' or ''got'', or use trite analogies during important speeches.
And BTW, wasn't doesn't the Left return favor and call Romney lazy or stupid?

I also don't thing Joe Klein is intelligent. Saying Obama is not intelligent is redundant.

There's only one question people like Joe Klein ask when assessing someone's intelligence: How politically liberal is he?

This just proves how ignorant they are of facts, truth and reality.

Easy to determine who's smarter.

Let's see college and law school transcripts.

I'll think what I want absent evidence to the contrary.

There is no objective evidence that the Mulatto Kid is any more intelligent than the average person in the US.

Sure, he went to college and law school but there is no evidence that he did well at either of those pursuits. And since he won't release his records, we can only conjecture from what we know and have seen for the last several years.

If I was interviewing him for a job, he'd probably not get past the first go 'round and would not make it to an interview with the dept. manager. He has few or no skills, abilities, or knowledge.

He's a good example of why affirmative action is such a loser. The same goes for his Dissatisfied Spouse. And they have surrounded themselves with other losers.

Klein and Mitchell were quick to associate "lazy" and "black people."

Perhaps they need to go to re-education camps?

As they say, if only you can hear the dog whistle, then apparently you're the dog.

What is this Joe Klein dude talking about?

There is nothing worse than the hateful trash that he writes about conservatives in Time magazine.

I think what it is is that you are intelligent if you think Obama is crazy and bigoted. There, fixed it.

#4, I once had a Golden Retriever who would have run circles round Zippy.

Compared to lint, Obama IS intelligent. BTW, Andrea, keep fawning and bowing and scraping before Obama and if he wins the upcoming election, you just might become part of Obama's personal press corps, the very thought of which has left you breathless in anticipation the past 4 years. You might even replace the inept Jay Carney!

For libtards, everything in their immature lives is bragging about being the smartest, their sex lives, body parts, and skin color.
They can`t give their selves enough praise, trophy's, and cool or god-like names.

Let me see his transcripts and I will make the judgment as to the level of his intelligence. For now it's he said, she said...that doesn't hold water my "friend".

Joe Klein doesn't get it that it is HE who is bigoted when he throws the hate-word "bigot" at anyone who dares to criticize Obama.

The phrase that was coined to describe the Joe Kleins of this world? "Soft bigot..."
as in "... the soft bigotry of low expectations."

Have to agree there is little evidence of 0’s supposed brilliance.

One of the best indicators is his response after the debate. When 0-bama speaks, he’s invariably reading someone else’s words, so the “zingers” he’s delivering days later have been crafted for him to recite – the ultimate in pathetic. Obviously, this doesn’t work in a debate – where he actually has to do his own thinking and speaking.

The media and 0-bama camp knew this was coming – they tried to squelch expectations beforehand. There are a lot of people behind the scenes that KNOW 0-bama is an empty suit. They hoped to so damage Romney beforehand that it wouldn’t matter.

But for all of their “strategerizing” they “misunderestimated” their opponent.

Obama = garbage in, garbage out.

Joe Dekleined

Ok. Call me crazy and bigoted.

Agree w/ #33. Joe Klein equates liberal politics to intelligence. Therefore, since Obama is a radical leftist, he is the most intelligent president ever. He is so smart, he can improve on Jefferson and Madison's ideas, he can see all the flaws in their thinking as embodied in the Constitution. Just give him four more years, and he'll correct the whole system. /s
