You can be smart and still not have a way with words, the reverse also applies (although less). But he reads Camus and tons of other great writers monthly, and it's just not possible to accomplish what he has managed in the white house without some serious smarts. Thats not praise, I think his record is horrible, but it is the truth.

Again, thats the mistake people make. Stupid is relative anyway. Stupid like "has backwards ideas of the way government should work and a poor understanding of what democracy is", maybe, but he's definitely able to get what HE wants done, very effectively.

um, he is the president after all. and he had a GOP congress for 3/4 of the time. i think he has a very capable staff, but no, i do not rate his intellect whatsoever.

Instead of rating his intelligence how about we rate the intelligence of the American people that actually voted for him 2 terms in a row?

I know that What I'm saying is, to have the audacity to persue this type of plan, this type of execution of a war and all the ridiculous line-stepping he has done, he HAS A BRAIN, and he KNOWS HOW TO USE IT. I think "smart-ass douchebag" is a much more fitting description of him.

Originally posted by emc^2 personally, I liked it when the "real" wars were fought - e.g. WWII - there, no media interviewing the enemy. Just a plain and simple building-leveling air strike, combined with "f*ck political correctness, who gives a crap about civilians", nothing held back deathmatch. You knew the enemy, enemy knew you - boom boom, death is dealt out in plentiful numbers, the enemy surrendered or killed, the end. now, it's all about being politically correct, about public opinion, let's see who's with us/against us. you know what? it's all bs. the wars are fought at much higher levels - the levels to which neither one of us, "mortals", are privviyed to. We don't know the half of it, nor the true reasons, nor the real motivations. It's all a game of chess, between the crazy power moguls of this world. Oil, natural resources, money - is the true motivators. The rest is just a trite babble to pacify/arouse the masses. Besides, activism as we know it is dead in US. all this demonstration crap is a fart in the wind, comparing to mass-delivered sensual overload that is mainstream media/TV programming. Does US even feel that it's at war???? Hell no. All suburbanites are happily surfing the web on their iphones at the local starbucks, while some misfortunate souls are dying for reasons unknown to most. disguisting, if u ask me. p.s. u know this war would have been over long time ago, if everyone in this country had to contribute and be involved. If people had to sacrifice their lofty lifestyles and go serve in the war zone or people had to leave their well paid jobs and go work in the factories to build or make tanks, planes, ships, ammunition, guns, etc. People would get sick of it very quickly and it would result in the following: 1. Wider support for the war effort, resulting in quicker end of conflict 2. Spiraling out of control, into a true WW III, with massive a$$f*ckery world-wide 3. Wide rebellion against the war, resulting in more pronounced acts of opposition to war, resulting in quicker end of conflict and withdrawal of troops. This war benefits the bushes, the chenneys, the haliburtons, boeings, lockheed martins, and other interests. they are the ones profiting from your tax dollars, while reducing our collective security to nil. sorry to have disturbed your oreo cookie pizza snack time. you can go back to your burgers and lattes, america. the government is in control. /fyi: I am an American

It's interesting that you posted this paranoid and violent little manifesto right after putting down "left wing nutjobs". I understand that you were probably just trying to group everyone that disagrees with you into one category so that you could more easily ignore and hate.

Do you honestly believe that the government, after showing the mass amount of incompetency it has so far, even possesses the capability to make ethical and right decisions, especially regarding something as intense as war? Or are you just itching to kill people and see people killed?

Re-analyze your definition of "nutjob". Re-analyze your outlook on the world and make sure your own behavior isn't reflected by your political desires and slants, destruction is not a good energy to harbor, and it's also important to know which statements you make are poison.

Personally, if one of the students blew him/herself up and took the out Asshatjizwad, even if it meant killing everyone in the audience - I'd say it would have been a reasonable sacrifice.

Just ignore my last post... I didn't realize you actually were a psychopath.
