I believe that President Obama is above average in intelligence. and certainly should not be referred to as a 'moron.'

I would love to defend that point about his intellect.

But for this thread, I believe that driveby is correct, in terms of his priorities, an ideology is more important than solution of the problems. The President is a 'true believer.'

BTW, if he had studied history, perhaps he would have recognized one of the fastest recoveries from a recession, in the Harding Administration:
"Harding's reaction to the recession of 1920-21, which was brought on by several factors: High unemployment brought on by both the returning soldiers from WWI trying to find jobs, and the lag between the time it takes to convert high wartime industrial production to consumer production, and one that I never see cited but was crucial: The effects of the great Spanish Influenza pandemic worldwide that killed millions and restricted travel and trade. The Harding administration did very little in the way of government intervention to 'kickstart' the economy, instead letting the marketplace correct itself, and the result was one of the fastest recoveries on record."
