NBC Reporter To Rick Perry: "Are You Smart Enough To Be President? (Why Wasn't Obama Asked This?)

[Steve_McGarrett]

It's a good question that should have been asked to our now Constitutionally ineligible president. He had no executive experience governing and now the American people and our country is paying the price for it. The hyprocricy in the media is outrageous.

Rick Perry's resonse:

I've got three reasons I'm smart enough to be president - 1) I was governor of Texas. 2) I recently learned how to tie my own shoes.

NBC-Nothing But Crap and is a LAPdog for the DNC

Republicans should only go on Fox news. It's the only place they will be treated with any Respect and it's the NUMBER ONE watched new channel anyway. Screw these lamestream so called, reporters... They wouldn't have dared Ask, Obama, Hillary, Lizze Hiawatha Warren that question

So Republicans can't handle the scrutiny or simple questions by the press? They should just have their balls cuddled by Fox? Now that's NOT news, Staphie.

 

[Rozman]

Let's see if this same question is asked of any Democrat candidate by this reporter...

If Obama had been asked the same question and he answered honestly his reply would have been

1) I am Black

...that it, I have nothing

Obama damn sure couldn't? How many press conferences has Obama held compared to Bush?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

If you want a real laugh, read Perry's reply.

And remember that he says he didn't prepare last time but will prepare this time.

 

[Porker]

Of course PMSNBC didn't ask Obama that question. Community organizers have to be smart enough to be president....of the ACMI..... American Communist for Marxism Implementation.

 

[bodecea]

It was a silly question to ask. Education and "smarts" are not desirable traits for some RW voters anymore.

...that it, I have nothing

Nonsense.

Obama would have given a sharp, cogent reply, as soon as it scrolled up on the teleprompter.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

I wouldn't even have replied.. what an asinine question.

 

[rightwinger]

Perrys problem is that he is perceived as stupid

In the last election, Perry showed that he was not only stupid, but lazy. Perry thought he could get by on his "aw shucks" country boy charm. It had always worked before

He showed himself to be ill-prepared to discuss the issues

 

[blastoff]

Let's see. Rick was smart enough to be a darn good governor of Texas, which is a hell of a lot more than the former community agitator's resume for the job.

 

[mdk]

I guess those eye glasses are not doing the trick.

Come on, are you for real? Fox is the only place where all politicians get treated the same. When any other network starts treating Republicans with the same respect as they treat Democrats, only then should Republicans go on their shows.

Perry was smart enough to know that hating gays, killing inmates, immigration and supporting more guns is enough to get you elected in Texas

The rest of the country won't buy it

Because, as we all know, President Obama...by using a teleprompter...shows that he isn't very smart. But all the other Presidents and whatnot who have used a teleprompter are smart. Uh huh.

 

[Claudette]

They should have asked Perry how many States there are in the Union.

Barry has already flunked that one.

That was the reporter's fault.

He didn't specify which union he was talking about.

And Obama gave a reply for the one foremost in his mind.
