    You mean, it's not necessary to see a socialists transcript, or anything else. Me, I'd like to know who I'm voting for. I realize for socialists that's not an issue.

    He doesn't HAVE TO BE SMART. He just has to be smarter than republicans. He is.

    This task is made easier by the chronic and severe idiocy of the republican party.

    Was there anything else?:mrgreen:

    Do you need to know exactly how he did in school to be able to know what kind of person he is?

    Harvard says he graduated Magna Cum Laude, so he had to have gotten at least a 3.80 which is .20 below a perfect GPA.

    That means he got mostly the equivilant of A's and B's if it was a high school grading scale.

    There has been no press release from Harvard stating such a thing.

    And how is the standards for Magna cum Laude lower than they were 20 years ago when Obama graduated?

    No I didn't, no I didn't, and burden of proof is a fallacious debate tactic.

    Does the fact that we now have 2,400,000 fewer people working than when the dummy odrama took office mean he's "BRILLIANT?"

    Does the fact that we have had deficits totaling $2.9 TRILLION in 2 years mean he is fiscally "Astute" or a numbskull?

    If we are experiencing the results of the incompetent idiots intelligence, spare me his weak areas.

    And yet you can provide NO PROOF for your rumors/assertions. No proof Harvard reported Obama graduated magna cum laude; no proof of any Obama law articles.

    A college degree doesn't mean squat in real life.

    In what way has he PROVEN his intelligence?

    But it's not like America problems have ever been solved because we have lawyers as politicians.

    Wrong. It's based on your position within your graduating class. All he had to do was be in the top 10% of those left over that weren't summa cum laude.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but obama and Perry went to different colleges. And Texas A&M doesn't have history of inflating grades like Harvard does.
    Anyway, this can all be settled if we were to find out what obama's GPA was. Not what you speculate it might be. Give us actual numbers.
    Until we find out what that is his magna cum laude is as worthless as his nobel prize.

    He is probably a good theoretical judicial thinker. However, that really isn't that impressive given the current state of judicial academia. He never proved he could practice law. For that matter, he has never proven an applied knowledge of anything. Based on his interviews, his understanding of economic theory, even the one he subscribes to, is limited and superficial at best. His opinion on domestic policy fluctuates, is inconsistent, and often incoherent. His supporters somehow try to spin this as a pragmatic approach when in reality even that makes no sense given different responses to similar situations. He clearly did not understand foreign issues adequately when he was campaigning, judging by the fact that he has changed his mind on most of them. Unless he has some secret knowledge of some hard science I really don't see any area that he can be seen as particularly special in.

    Mostly..."meh."

    And, he got a Nobel Prize for, something. I wonder if he got the Nobel Prize and the Magna cum Laude for the same thing?

    I agree about colleges. It seems like everyone who's trying to screw us has an Ivy League education. They are nothing but socialist and globalist factories. They do nothing but educate the common sense out of people.

    Nothing he has done proves or disproves his intelligence. Everything he has done proves his inability to handle the position. And his intransigence in blind determination to stick with an obviously failed policy shows his unadaptability and closed minded lack of critical thinking.
    He is an ideological wasteland, his IQ is not important.

    Making the argument that Obama isn't as smart as some have suggested is fine, but it's probably best not to use Rick Perry as your counterargument.

    Yeah, your're probably right, Serfin' USA.

    Did you know Rick Perry used to be a Democrat?

    Why? Liberals are totally committed to the inane notion that the worse they can make Bush look, the better odrama looks. I know its senseless nonsense, but they do it constantly.

    I've probably posted a hundred or more times, Bush bad, odrama much much worse.

    See that doesn't make Bush look good. They both are failures on their own lack of abilities.
