1. I may not agree with everything he does but,

he definitely isn't dumb or stupid. I remember a long time ago a guy that couldn't pronounce "nuclear". That's pretty basic stuff right there!

[LiberalAndProud]

2. Rarely is the question asked:

Is our children learning?

Tough act to follow in the dumb department.

3. Or when the brain surgeon TeaHad yells ”REED TH CONTITSUSHUN OBANA"

I'm sure he's perused it once or twice. Fucking dumbasses.

[pocoloco]

13. You might point out to them

exactly where it talks about Drones.

That will shut them up!

[Pirate Smile]

30. Because if not mentioned then unconstitutional? So Republicans are kind of correct

about him violating the Constitution?

What the hell is the drone point here?

4. It SAys FAR MOre About How Stupid You Are Than He's Supposed to Be.. the same

5. In fairness, they still say the same thing about Carter.

It wasn't long ago that I bought an old Carter/Mondale campaign button at an antique shop. The woman at the counter made some reference about how stupid he was/is. She rolled her eyes when I told her he studied nuclear physics after the war at graduate school, and was hand picked by Admiral Rickover to work in the fledgling nuclear submarine program when the Nautilus was still shiny new.

Though there certainly is a factor with Obama that appeals to ignorant racists about black stereotypes, the GOP sets their alarm clocks every night to get up early and pound home the message that democrats are spineless, clueless, idiots. No republican has ever said: "Sure Bill Clinton is a smart man, but....". "Clintoon" was one example of how little they thought of his intellect.

Having said that, the GOP does indeed openly play up Obama's race to rally assholes behind their ignoble cause. His heritage is kind of a bonus for them, and years from now I may be buying an old "Yes We Can" button, and.....

Thanx for posting.

I have no doubt the POTUS LOL his ass off then he sees this shit in a newspaper or on national TV;

















I could go on...but seriously I think he knows what kind of base the GOP has...a very stupid one at best.

[47of74]

9. Stupid shit like this makes me wish I didn't have to come home.

There are days when I would be perfectly happy living somewhere else on this planet. Especially on days when I see these Tea Klux Dumb Fucks doing stupid shit like this.

[Rex]

34. Same here, bad enough sometimes I have to work with them.

Or hearing someone say Marxist Obama in the grocery store. Waaaaaay too many Foxnews viewers in this area.

[calimary]

17. Maybe the "hard wroking people" are actually music lovers?

And they had to pay a feedom to get in the door?

Actually, the proper spelling of that last one would have to be freeDUMB.


And THESE people get to vote, too… :

[Rex]

35. Yes and they vote Republican.

[passiveporcupine]

10. Thank you thank you thank you!

[maddiemom]

11. Hello, just checking to see if I am able to post.

[LWolf]

12. Because so many DUers call him "Odumber."

[Brown Coat]

14. Intelligence is in the eye of the beholder.

A lot of people call Bush 2.0 an idiot yet he was a Officer and fighter pilot. He may not be a rocket surgeon but he was no slouch.

[uppityperson]

15. No. That is beauty. Intelligence is measured by various factors. He was a slouch.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A7372-2004Feb2.html

It was an era when service in the Guard was a coveted assignment, often associated with efforts to avoid active duty in Vietnam. Bush was accepted for pilot training after having scored only 25 percent on the pilot's aptitude test, the lowest acceptable grade.

In 2000, the Boston Globe examined a period from May 1972 to May 1973 and found no record that Bush performed any Guard duties, either in Alabama or Houston, although he was still enlisted.

According to military records obtained by The Washington Post, Bush first requested and received permission in May 1972 to be transferred to the Alabama National Guard so he could work on a U.S. Senate campaign. After he was in Alabama, he received notice from the Guard personnel center that he was "ineligible" for the Air Reserve Squadron he requested.

In August 1972, Bush was suspended from flying because he failed to complete an annual medical exam. A month later, Bush requested to be assigned to a different unit in Alabama and was approved. Although he was required to attend periodic drills in Alabama, there is no official record in his file that he did.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

26. But that also means there is no record of the real reason he was there.

Nixon believed the opportunity was there in Alabama for a republican win.Complicated stuff.
Clearly a Bush could be trusted to do the assignment for the commander and chief. Eyes/ears and hands. Nixon liked to get his hands down into it ,even more-so where the risk was greater.

Anyway's, it seems some of those republicans are feeling discomfort about the doings here on DU !

I believe they have told the dogs to release the flees on us ! We are under attack !

[panader0]

20. You got some 'splainin' to do

[City Lights]

21. Junior is an idiot. nt

[Corey_Baker08]

23. You Can't Be Serious, I Don't Think Your On The Right Website...

you have the audacity to try to validate the notion that its acceptable to call OUR PRESIDENT dumb while defending George W Bush as 'a officer and fighter pilot', which is bullshit in itself, also in a sense your right in your claim that Bush was no slouch, he did alot to fuck our country up here at home and abroad...

Get A Life...

[Brown Coat]

29. I wasn't trying to validate anyone.

I think to insult President Obama or Former President Bush intelligence is ignorant. That being said I guess I showed a bit of my own ignorance, I'm only 23 so I didnt have much reason to care about W. Just here trying to broaden my horizons, thanks for the warm welcom y'all.

[Corey_Baker08]

31. If Your Sincere About Your Intentions Here I Apologize...

Ive actually been on DU since 2004 at the age of 14 years old, and like you I am 23 & If I misinterpretd you I apologize, I subscribe to the the theory that even if you disagree with Who the President is, you should still respect the Office of the President Of the United States...

[lunasun]

27. huh? please proceed

[giftedgirl77]

32. W proved time & time again that he was a complete

& utter moron. There are plenty of officers in the military that are complete idiots. Your post is lacking objectivity.

[nxylas]

38. "Rocket surgeon"?

I think those are called engineers.

[argyl]

40. He was a slouch at Yale. Got his gentleman's C there and was mediocre at Harvard.

Never would have been accepted at either institution without his family name. Was denied entrance to University of Texas Law School, a more egalitarian institution where Poppy didn't have so much pull.

Never completed his National Guard duty wher he chose to be trained to fly a plane he knew was not being used in Vietnam.Joined the Guard to avoid Vietnam and chooses obsolete aircraft to make his chances of seeing combat zero percent. Slouch is too polite a term for him.

[arcane1]

45. He was called an idiot for a very good reason.

Because he was an idiot.

[alfredo]

22. knr

[Jamaal510]

28. None of that counts, though

because, you know...Affirmative Action and shit.

[nxylas]

39. That's their explanation for everything

In what passes for their imagination, Obama was just plucked off the street and given all these degrees and jobs because he was black. There's no way a mere negro could have actually earned that position.

[defacto7]

33. There is so much presidential IQ bull shit

on the Internet it's staggering the amount of disinformation that has accumulated. Every side tries to out pummel the other with stupid answers so reality in the matter is fleeting. Some time back there were some university sources which made a lot of sense compared to my own studies. They did put George Jr. as one of the 3 lowest IQ presidents when comparing his personal communications with actual scholastic scores. Presidents before there were aptitude tests were scored on their communication skills from their own texts as well as scholars of their time who reported on their observations. This is rough but it's a logical assessment that seems fair enough and coincides with my own study of history... take it with a grain, but it makes sense to me.

Most intelligent presidents IQ 140 to 170, top down:

John Quincy Adams (very little argument he had the highest intelligence of all)
James Madison (? I don't know why)
Abraham Lincoln (arguably the second most intelligent but 3rd in the studies)
Theodore Roosevelt (arguably the most intelligent but 4th in the studies, lower in others)
Thomas Jefferson
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (sometimes placed higher)
George Washington (a lot of different placements in studies but definitely in the top 7)

Least Intelligent presidents below 125 (no certain order):

Andrew Johnson
Millard Filmore
Chester Arthur
George Bush Jr. (usually last or tied for last)

The rest are scattered in the middle ranging between 125 to 140 and all are supposedly based on today's scale and % of population.

[DesertFlower]

36. i agree. nt

[mwrguy]

37. Some here call him a 'used car salesman'.

Racism is racism.

[robbob]

47. Umm...because used car salesmen are usually black?

Sorry, I still don't get the relationship between "used car salesman" and racism. When I think "used car salesman" I usually think of some untrustworthy white guy with "Come down to Big Al's" type of cheap commercials. Where is the racism?

[AverageJoe90]

50. Some might think that because Ted Nugent said that once.....

Though yeah, I agree, it's hard to see the racism in that; it's been part of political parlance for years.

[BumRushDaShow]

41. K&R

[Mustellus]

42. I was a Teaching Fellow at Harvard.....

... and its easy to tell the charity students from the others. By the second assignment I could tell which was which.

When Havud picks a charity student, they can skim the cream off the top. The very, very best of those who didn't have enough sense to be born into a family with money.

On the other hand, admission criteria can be quite lax.... if Daddy can pay the bills outright. Like Mitt, perhaps?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

46. It's like the whole "teleprompter" thing....

The message there is that he's a total fraud. He's just mouthing words in his speeches written for him by a white man.

They do that because that's what THEY did with Dubya.

Ever watch Dubya give a speech on paper? He'd turn the pages every ten words. It was more like flash cards. Some were instructions to wait for applause.

[Beartracks]

48. Don't forget Dubya's "mystery bulge"...
