She's certainly entitled to her opinion. The problem is, she'd have cast a ballot for Sarah Palin.... which pretty much puts any notion of discernment or high standards to rest.
Unfortunately.. none of which you post as evidence truly is evidence of intelligence... do not confuse popularity with intelligence
As stated before.. there is no reason to think he is a stupid man... just no real evidence of anything to quantify people calling him "brilliant"

You are so clueless.
Do you really think that the people who voted him editor of the Harvard review elected him because he was popular?
Russia's crumbling economy provides stiffest test yet for autocratic leader
Subjected to more than a century of propaganda masquerading as news, Russians often seem to live in a different reality from the rest of us
By Adrian Blomfield in Moscow
And sure enough, at a time when their country is locked in its worst financial crisis in a decade, they are more optimistic about the economy than they have ever been. According to opinion polls, 57 per cent reckon it is flourishing, up from 53 per cent in July.
The survey's findings are a triumph for the state, proving that the Kremlin has not lost its touch when it comes to manipulating fact. Obeying orders from the top, Russian television has banned the use of words such as "crisis", "decline" and "devaluation". Coverage of the mayhem in the country's stock market, where shares have fallen by 75 per cent since August, is scant.
Instead, just as in Soviet times, Russians are told how bad everything is in the West. The US, Russians are told, is in irreversible decline, while desperate Britons are throwing themselves into the Thames. The Queen, facing imminent penury, has been forced to pawn her diamonds and, according to one tabloid front page, we can no longer afford to bury our dead.
It has fallen to Russia, one television commentator gravely intoned, to come to the rescue of Europe. Russia, another newspaper declared, was set to become the continent's lender of last resort.

There are none so blind as those too stupid to see.
Jesus said that, I think
Nah, he won't be carter two. Carter was too wimpy militarily and that's what sunk him, Obama is going to be sure to not make that mistake. .....
Sure, that's why he campaigned on declaring defeat in Iraq, and meeting with rouge natioNs without preconditions, because he's A TOUGH GUY.
What's he going to do, pull a Chicago gangster routine on these guys?
I wouldn't call him stupid but I wouldn't call him brilliant by any stretch,, why? because of the nefarious people he chooses to associate himself with..

Say what you will, walking the walk goes a long way. Sarah Palin had a record as a reformer and that's what appeals to me.
Unlike the Dems who speak out of both sides of their mouths. Tell me how can you be both against evil corporations and at the same time be in favor the largest corporate welfare bailout in the history of the world? While you are rationalizing that, I am going to go to work.
I saw a terroist expert today saying that the election of Obama was "Al Qeada's worst nightmare." Bush was AQ's greatest recruiter.
Likewise the Iranians have suddenly had to backpeddle from their pledge to negotiate with the U.S. because Obama called their bluff. You rightees don't understand how to win the "war on terror" at all. Bin Laden said his goal was to "bankrupt America." The only way that can happen is if we get involved in a protracted land war in Asia. AQ has no army, no navy, and no air force. They can't do any real damage to a country of 300 million people unless we let fear control us, and Bush-Cheney was all about fear.
Gee.. Why don't you tell that to the families of the three thousand people that died on 9/11.
no, we knew they would vote for YOUR guy
and Republicans thought the dummies would carry them to victory.... see what they know...
Gee.. Why don't you tell that to the families of the three thousand people that died on 9/11.
really?Somebody needs to.
Terrorism is a minor threat.
China and Russia are much bigger threats.
some of em,, dems of course are actually bitching cause "people can't borrow money"
