Asked about running for president, George Clooney explained why he’s satisfied with the incumbent:
“As for me running for President – look, there’s a guy in office who is smarter than anybody you know, and nicer, and he’s having an almost impossible time governing.
You’d think a guy “smarter than anybody you know” would be able to govern the United States of America, considering how good a job a certain “amiable dunce” once did.

Obama isn’t a leader, has never been a leader; his first executive experience is as the President of the United States. He can’t lead children to a candy store. He’s an incompetent boob cult of personality. The Obama mirage is crumbling as the reality of his totalitarian nature manifests thanks to his executive, regulatory overreach & his radioactive “accomplishments” of ObamaCare, Porkulus, & Frank-Dodd.
This “Obama is smart” meme is more of a fraud than the Clinton & Gore marriages.
That’s a great opening….
similar to “you know you are a red neck if….”
If Obama’s so smart….how come his budget failed 0-97?
If Obama’s so smart….how come he doesn’t do town halls with his critics?
If Obama’s so smart how come he uses a teleprompter for a two paragraph announcement?
If Obama’s so smart how come he doesn’t know what a CORPSMEN is?
this could be fun…..
Perhaps Clooney is right in this, that Obama is smarter than almost any other left-liberal.
Reagan and Bush were both called stupid by the left, but managed to get their policies enacted even when the other party controlled Congress.
Were they smarter than Obama… probably. But the success they has was primarily due to advancing policies the American public actually favored.
Well, Oblabla IS smart. For a libtard.
But book smarts have nothing to do with common sense, as I’ve recently pointed out. One needs life experience first.

Obama isn’t smart. He’s intelligent, but he’s not ‘smart.’ His problem comes about because he’s always been told that he’s smart. He’s heard it enough his whole life that he believed it. Obama’s also not very well educated, either. I mean educated in a broad-based, exposed to all ideas kind of education. He’s merely been indoctrinated his whole life by a bunch of institutions (and people) with a very narrow perspective on the realities of life. As for Clooney offering his opinion about how smart Obama is, I mean consider the source. Clooney has nice hair, but he’s no heavyweight intellect himself. And yes, George, I know lots of people smarter than Obama. It’s a pity that you don’t, otherwise you wouldn’t be making such stupid remarks. Plus, you’re wrong on something else, George. Obama is not ‘nice.’ He’s a downright nasty person. The nastiest person I’ve seen occupy the Oval Office, and I’ve been tracking presidents since 1956. Sort of amusing for all their proclamations, how these ‘smart’ liberals – like Carter and Obama – always find it “impossible to govern” and as Dan has pointed out, an “amiable dunce” like Reagan makes it seem effortless.
I’m having a really hard time believing Obama is intelligent as well. Honestly.
Gene — brilliant series of suggestions. I’m going to see if I can use them to get a “thing” going on Twitter! 🙂
Thx GP
let’s have some fun eh
Obama isn’t smart. He’s educated. Huge difference that lefties can never seem to understand. Inside a sterile classroom filled with left wing teachers I’m sure Obama’s the greatest leader ever. In the real world he’s a failure and an embarrassment that’s sadly already reproduced.
Obama has multiple degrees, including a Juris Doctor from Harvard. However, he apparently doesn’t want anyone to see his school records. That leads me to believe that he was the beneficiary of affirmative action or didn’t do very well (or both), something many others have suggested as well.
Exactly. There are many dunces in academia, mostly the social sciences, many of whom, like me, don’t know anything about what they’re talking about. Apparently, the only requirement of most social science programs is to hold progressive views. Of course, that is a generalization as well as a conjecture, but I have seen little evidence that contradicts it. I would guess that social science is full of people that aren’t smart enough and are too lazy to do anything else. But that is just a guess.
And I don’t get where this idea that Obama is some sort of brilliant genius comes from. Personally, I never got that feeling from his speeches. Quite the opposite, actually. And, aside from the fact that does have degrees, there seems to be little evidence. But it doesn’t take a brilliant genius to get a law degree.
The rhythm of his speaches becomes hypnotic, and not in a good way. There is no variety no sense that he really understands what he is saying, like a highschool freshman reading Shakespeare WITH FEELING, but with zip understanding. His jobs speach was a C- on the high school level, both their content, the writing and the delivery. He has no genuine bone in his body nor the ability to even Fake it like bill clinton or george bush (which ever one you hate you have to agree they pulled off likeability and genuinosity (made up word).
He has book larnin’ and how he made it this far will be the content of a huge number of exposes in future years.
Where are his students? There must be some who saw through his facade. Please god tell me there were a few that didnt get hypnotized by his dazzling smile.
yikes.
