Obama The Sharpest Knife?

This is not new.

Hey folks,

All we have been hearing for a while is how great Obama is. What a great speaker. How intelligent he is. He is the one to bring about "change." He can do anything. He is just so smart. Really? People have pretty much backed off of saying these things lately, because LATELY, really it has always been there, but lately it seems more people are talking about this.

Back on April 30, 2008, I said this.

"First, is it just me or does Obama come across like he cannot think and talk at the same time? Seriously. I'm REALLY not trying to insult the man. But this drove me nuts. He gave another great, eloquent, typical Obama speech, then he went off the teleprompter, and "You Know."

Every time he was asked a question, or anytime he was attempting to expound on what he was saying, he said "you know." Someone should REALLY work with him on this. It's distracting and really comes across like you are killing time to think of what to say next. Maybe someone was whispering in his ear or something. I do not know. We do not know. That is why he was there. To keep saying, "you know," then stuttering and stammering, does not convey the image that you are as articulate as you are trying to portray."

But now people are realizing it is much more than just, "you know." Of course, do not forget "and." But he really is not all that smart. Remember Kansas Tornadoes? They killed 12 people. He said this.

"In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed."

What about this little misspeak? He said this last March.

“There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”

Really? Actually folks, Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965.

Then you have the fact he really has no clue where he is most of the time. Just in the last few days, in Sunrise, Florida, Obama said,

"How's it going, Sunshine?"

Last week, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Obama said this.

“Thank you Sioux City…I said it wrong. I’ve been in Iowa for too long. I’m sorry.”

Talking about not knowing where he is. This is one of my personal favorites. Earlier this month in Oregon.

“Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.” Video

But he IS unique in this one aspect. Apparently, he can see the dead. Yes, according to Obama, they walk among us, and even attend meetings. He said this.

"On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong." Video

He changes his positions as much as Clinton. Iran is no threat, grave threat, ETC. he does not like to vote on the tough issues, then when he does, he most likely doesn't even know WHAT he is voting for. Over the weekend in Oregon, Obama said this.

“Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there. Now, having said that, I promise you I’ll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport.”

So he does not know about it? That's odd since he’s voted on at least one defense authorization bill that addressed the “costs, schedules, and technical issues” dealing with the nation’s most contaminated nuclear waste site. But he doesn't know anything about it?

Oh yeah remember this?

"So we just don't have enough capacity right now to deal with -- and it's not just troops, by the way. It's like Arab -- Arab -- Arabic interpreters, Arab language speakers, we only have a certain number of them, and if they're all in Iraq, then it's harder for us to use them, and -- and obviously they may not speak Arabic, but the various dialects that they speak in Afghanistan, oftentimes people who speak Urdu or Pashtun or whatever the languages are, they're going to be needed in those areas, and a lot of them have ended up being placed elsewhere."

"Urdu or Pashtun or whatever the languages are"

Seriously? He just made languages up. Talk about disrespect. Pashtu, Dari, and Farsi. He might as well say they speak Goonie Goo Goo.

Of course, then you have the latest.

"I had an uncle who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps, and the story in our family was is that when he came home he just went up into the attic and he didn't leave the house for six months."

The Red Army liberated Auschwitz. Of course, he just misspoke again. He really meant to say Buchenwald.

I repeat, Obama is noting without writers and a teleprompter. He is NOT intelligent enough to run this country. Either that, or he is just lazy. Either way, he is NOT the super Intelligent Messiah that everyone ONCE believed in. He is who he is. Nothing but another Liberal Politician that will do or say anything to get into power. Has anyone asked him to spell Potato? Just curious. {Smile}
