There has been this running narrative that Obama is some kind of social/political Einstein, a brilliant intellect. Is this really justified? Sure, he is intelligent. But "brilliant"? This is what we know:
Law Professor: A lot is made of this. However, was he a law professor? Technically, he was an adjunct professor. In other words, he was not a full time professor. Every adjunct I have ever encountered has had a job and only taught part time in the area of his/her expertise. We know that Obama had no expertise. As far as I can tell he never practiced law. Constitutional law is generally taught to first year law students. So, basically, OBAMA taught a general introductory class to first year law students. Big deal. Most lawyers could teach this class. As far as I can tell he never authored any scholarly works, either during his time as an adjunct or when he was on law review. Who in the hell would go to law school and then hang around to teach a first year law class. It sounds to me like OBAMA was just pretty fucking lazy and/or could not find a job. Or, was this part of his "grooming"?
The ACA, aka "Obamacare": Was this really an act of brilliance? First, it will only work if enough young, employed people enroll. It sounds like a pyramid scheme to me. Next, it obviously hurts the working class and employers. Why do such a thing in a troubled economy. Let's also not forget the under-handed manner in which it was enacted by a Lame-duck Congress dismissed in the 2010 midterms. Was that smart? To shove a huge piece of legislation through and then sign it without bi-partisan support, thereby harming its legitimacy? Then there was the idiotic clusterfuck of the roll-out. Was it smart to put incompetent people in charge of the roll-out with little or no oversight of the process? I have seen nothing of the ACA that evidences brilliance on Obama's part. Any Chicago street corner politician could have constructed this colossal fuck-up.
International Affairs: Obama has pretty much alienated our allies and empowered out enemies and would-be adversaries. When France is your most staunch ally you are in pretty bad fucking shape. His attempt to attain credibility with MUSLIMS by being tough on Israel early on was a failure. What he let happen to Hosni Mubarak was nothing less than criminal in light of his decades long friendship with America. Obama empowered the rise of the Brotherhood, and thereby radical Islam, which has turned out bad for the west. He has repeatedly made us look weak with things like the Syrian red line, killing off our missile defense plans with Poland, being an apologist, doing nothing in the face of Russian aggression against Ukraine, negotiating with Iran, and cutting and running from Afghanistan and Iraq. Speaking of Iran, their nuclear weapons program is still going full steam ahead. Peaceful nuclear development? Bullshit. They do not need centrifuges for nuclear power. Yet, they have them. Obama has made us look weak and has directly harmed our national security. Is that a smart thing? It seems like incompetence to me.
Executive Power Overreach: Obama was a constitutional professor? Oh yeah? For what country, because it is not ours. What can his overreaching do other than undermine support for our constitutional system of separation of powers and checks and balances? Is that a smart thing for a president to do? Would a smart President want to run over Congress, I.e,. The People?
Gridlock: Republicans catch a lot of flack for this. However, it cuts both ways. It is accepted that no president in history has ever failed to engage Congress to the degree that Obama has. To get things done the president has to call and meet with Congressional members. Obama does not do this. Is that a smart thing for the chief executive to do?
Military: Obama has fostered a fundamental distrust of our military. He had purged the military of top brass and has repeatedly inserted his ignorant judgment for theirs. Is it smart for a president to encourage distrust of our military and to ignore their advice on matters involving the use of military force?
I can go on and on with this. But why bother? We all know this. Obama has repeatedly failed to execute good judgment ever since he took office. He may be an intelligent man, but he is not a smart leader. Further, I have seen nothing to indicate brilliance on his part on any matter. All I have seen is typical leftist ideological bullshit. However, ideology does not lead. A man has to lead. Obama has failed in his leadership role again and again. Would a smart president do this?
So, is Obama really a brilliant man who has blessed us with his uncanny intellect? Of course not. He is another shitty Chicago politician who lacks character and succeeds due to his opportunist nature. In short, he is merely a bullshit artist who got lucky because the powers that be financed and pushed his presidency. If the truth be known, OBAMA is unfit to serve as an elected member of a school board. But at least there he would not have fucked up some many things, some of which involve the fundamental components of our nation. What a disgrace.
